Growing Development of Robots Using Artificial Intelligence Fuels Middle East & Africa Artificial Intelligence in Defense Market

The adoption of robotics solutions in the military helps improve the accuracy of strikes against enemy positions, reduces collateral damage, and provides real-time situational awareness. Artificial intelligence and robotics play crucial roles in many defense applications such as intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition, and reconnaissance (ISTAR) activities. Robots in the military include drones, armored vehicles, missile boats, and more. In addition, replacing humans with robots on the battlefield will reduce the loss of human lives in wars, which is expected to propel the adoption of robots on the battlefield. Artificial intelligence technology mainly provides robotic assistance on the battlefield, which will enable forces to maintain or expand warfighting capacity without increasing manpower. With the help of AI, the robots can deploy, operate, and return to base. Such benefits of AI in robots will contribute to its adoption in various military forces. Further, unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) and unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs) use artificial intelligence and can independently complete a pre-programmed mission. UUVs use artificial intelligence in mine detection operations in seawater. UGVs use artificial intelligence for surveillance operations. Therefore, artificial intelligence is highly used in developing advanced technologies, including defense robots, which will be a major trend in the future.
