Why this topic matters
Artificial intelligence has moved from demonstration to acquisition. Decision-support tools, targeting aids, predictive maintenance and command-and-control automation are now written into requirements documents, tested at operational commands, and funded through programs of record. Defense Signals tracks the organizations, installations, solicitations, funding actions and events that determine which AI capabilities reach the field — and which stay in the lab.
