Americas The US Army has chosen Picogrid’s Legion software to address a persistent challenge on the battlefield: connecting military systems that struggle to communicate effectively with one another. The platform ingests data from a range of sources, including legacy equipment, modern sensors, and weapon systems, and integrates it into tools like the Tactical Awareness Kit (TAK), the army’s primary coordination app. This results in a more complete, real-time view of the battlefield that supports both faster decision-making and tighter coordination among dispersed units. In a bid to fast-track the deployment of battlefield-ready AI, Lockheed Martin has launched a virtual proving ground to assess how artificial intelligence systems would perform in air, land, sea, and space domains. Called the “AI Fight Club,” the program invites teams from across industry to compete in simulated military scenarios, putting their AI models through complex, mission-driven challenges that mirror real-world operations.
