Artificial intelligence helps Ukraine's Armed Forces

In combination with the incredible Ukrainian spirit and zeal, they give an incredible result.  American general Mark Milley is sure that this is how the wars of the future will be conducted.  I will tell you about several cases. Today is the first.

There is a company called Palantir - a secret developer of software for the US special services and the Pentagon.

“Palantir created a global surveillance system for US intelligence agencies and allegedly helped track down and kill Osama bin Laden himself”

Palantir is a reference to Tolkien's fantasy, a kind of "all-seeing eye". The company works with data analysis. It started with an algorithm for tracking fraudulent transactions, then the CIA became interested in it, investing money in the startup.

Palantir created a global surveillance system for US intelligence agencies and allegedly helped track down and kill Osama bin Laden himself.

Ukraine uses a slightly different product - a battle management platform.

The system collects data from all sources – commercial satellites, radars, scientific sensors and cameras, NATO reconnaissance satellites, drones, social networks, etc. Then this entire array is analyzed and transmitted via Starlink to the control centers and eventually to the tablets of the units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, which can instantly strike precisely at the target. Further, the effectiveness of these strikes is evaluated with the help of drones.

“The system helped the Ukrainian Armed Forces to make a rapid breakthrough in the Kharkiv and Kherson regions. Our troops knew everything about the Russian forces' positions, knocking them out before the counterattack”

Palantir allows you to remove the "fog of war" that the Russians still rely on. At any moment, artificial intelligence can analyze thousands of sources of information and display enemy positions, own positions, the most effective means of defeat, etc. on a screen in Kyiv or Washington.
