AI Delays Pentagon Simulation Strategy

⊲ National Defense Magazine ⊳ The Pentagon has delayed its first modelling and simulation strategy in over 30 years to align it with advances in artificial intelligence. The strategy sets five goals, with data trust probably the most important, while officials also examine how to verify and validate AI models. They want simulation used across acquisition, testing, training and analysis. DARPA’s Eric Davis argued for physics-grounded world models to support autonomous and decision support systems, and officials cited organisational silos and intellectual property constraints as barriers to sharing data.
◂ After a 30-year gap since the 1995 Master Plan, the strategy now waits on AI, a sign of how quickly 2024 accreditation policy has aged. ▸
