WASHINGTON \u2014 The U.S. Army will lean on artificial intelligence to assist two fundamental abilities aboard the forthcoming Bradley infantry fighting vehicle replacement, officials said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brig. Gen. Geoffrey Norman, the director of the Next Generation Combat Vehicles Cross-Functional Team, said both AI-enabled targeting and navigation are \u201cabsolutely essential\u201d for the Optionally Manned Fighting Vehicle<\/a>, or OMFV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat we\u2019re seeking initially is well within the realm of the feasible. We\u2019ve demonstrated those capabilities in the field in really rigorous environments,\u201d Norman said Oct. 12 at the Association of the U.S. Army annual conference. \u201cBut as we look toward the future, and what we want to see downstream, we want to be able to accept maturing technologies.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Army this summer published a request for proposals to design and build prototypes of the OMFV<\/a>. Bids are due next month, according to Maj. Gen. Glenn Dean, the Army\u2019s program executive officer for ground combat systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The service tapped five companies for preliminary designs: Oshkosh Defense, BAE Systems, General Dynamics Land Systems, American Rheinmetall Vehicles and Point Blank Enterprises.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
