AMESA has secured a significant contract worth $1.25 million from the US Air Force’s innovation unit, AFWERX, to enhance its Agent Cloud AI wargaming system at Air University in Alabama. This facility serves as the primary center for professional military education within the Air Force.
The initiative aims to develop “multi-agent” AI teammates that can seamlessly integrate into military exercises, providing real-time reactions and support for students as they navigate dynamic and high-pressure scenarios. By incorporating these digital AI companions, the project seeks to elevate the realism of digital wargaming and simulate environments that mirror actual combat situations more closely.
Participants in the training will have the opportunity to utilize these AI players to test various strategies, stress-test their decision-making processes, and assess potential risks before engaging in live exercises. This innovative approach not only enhances the training experience but also prepares military personnel for the complexities of real-world operations.
