The Air Force aims to harness AI on a grand scale, yet faces significant infrastructure hurdles. Maj. Gen. Luke Cropsey, the program executive officer for C3BM, emphasizes:
- Infrastructure Gaps: “One of my biggest challenges is the underlying infrastructure.”
- Interoperability Issues: Linking diverse systems remains a critical barrier.
- Enterprise Network Vision: Cropsey outlines plans for a unified battle network, aiming to streamline disparate systems into efficient end-to-end capabilities.
As the Air Force evolves, it’s working on strategic frameworks and network modernization to enhance data integrity and management practices. Maj. Gen. Michele Edmondson highlights:
