The Pentagon has established a new initiative called Autowarcom as part of efforts to expand the use of artificial intelligence and drone technology.

The initiative is aimed at supporting the development and deployment of AI based systems and unmanned technologies for defence related applications. It reflects growing efforts to integrate advanced technology into military operations.

Autowarcom is expected to focus on improving the use of autonomous systems and artificial intelligence while supporting the development of new capabilities involving drones.

The move comes as the US continues to explore ways to expand the role of AI and autonomous technologies across its defence operations.
