U.S. Army to Introduce AI Operating System Into Next-Gen Command and Control

According to AI TIMES, the U.S. Department of Defense said on October 12 that it had signed a contract worth about KRW 260 billion with AI military operations software company Anduril to support the U.S. Army's next-generation command and control modernization. The five-year contract tasks Anduril with software that reads battlefield conditions and supply needs in real time to help allocate personnel and logistics resources. The system focuses on turning frontline unit movements into demand signals to make inventory, mission execution capabilities, and combat readiness more predictable. It aims to move away from the traditional approach of responding after problems arise and instead identify needed resources and support timing in advance to reduce supply chain bottlenecks. After recent training and field tests, the project is moving into the next phase, with initial deployment being pursued around I Corps. However, the timing for full force-wide rollout and actual performance figures have not yet been made public, so prediction accuracy and improvements in supply delays during the operational phase are expected to determine the outcome.
