ABSTRACT
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing military strategies and capabilities worldwide, significantly impacting national security and defense operations. AI’s potential to enhance decision-making, enable autonomous operations, and strengthen cybersecurity makes it an indispensable element in contemporary defense systems. However, only few researchers have explored the strength of AI technologies in defense systems. In this paper, we explore how AI technologies can reshape military strategies, emphasizing its transformative effects on autonomous systems, strategic decision-making, cybersecurity, logistics, and training. Through a comprehensive analysis of existing literature and technological trends, we identify the key areas where AI can drive innovation and improve military effectiveness, ultimately securing national defense in the digital age.
