From data to decisions: How AI at the edge is transforming military systems

A webinar scheduled for Wednesday, August 19, 2026 at 2:00 AM (GMT-04:00) Eastern Time will examine how AI at the edge is changing military and aerospace systems. The session focuses on how edge computing enables faster, smarter decisions using real-time onboard intelligence in contested, contested or disconnected environments. It will cover the hardware and software architectures needed to deploy AI at the tactical edge, including heterogeneous computing platforms, GPUs, FPGAs, and specialized AI accelerators. The program also highlights key constraints such as SWaP limits, latency, and secure deployment in mission-critical contexts, along with challenges tied to power constraints and model optimization. Organizers say the discussion will include use cases across uncrewed systems, ISR platforms, and electronic warfare applications. The event is set for 60 minutes.
