Pictured: Regents Park Barracks played host to a demonstration of Project ASGARD, which is focused on transforming and speeding up how land forces make decisions via new software that exploits modern artificial intelligence / machine learning-based digital technologies. Asgard was showcased to international allies and industry partners in London. Participants were shown the capability in action, including its powerful impact on enemies. New British Army technology has been launched that will improve the accuracy of targeting enemies and reduce decision-making time for strikes. The Asgard digital system will help soldiers find and attack enemy targets from much greater distances. Following successful trials by British soldiers in Estonia, Asgard uses artificial intelligence and secure communications to help soldiers make faster decisions about targets, saving crucial time in combat. The system will make the Army ten times more lethal over the next ten years. It combines weapon systems, surveillance equipment, automated technology, digital connections and data analysis. Asgard forms part of the work to create a wider digital targeting web across the UK’s Armed Forces by 2027, backed by more than £1 billion in funding. It will better connect military weapons systems, allowing battlefield decisions for targeting enemy threats to be made and executed faster. The digital system will see the British Army leading the way in NATO in its use of technology to change how it fights, improving speed and accuracy.
