英国国防部上周五宣布了一项价值1.37亿美元的合同,用于建立一个高科技监视系统,帮助士兵探测敌方目标。
这种称为车下联合火力集成器(DJFI)的系统,具有”传感器射击”或”探测和摧毁”热成像技术,将由以色列国防承包商Elbit Systems的英国子公司在五年内建造。
英国国防部购买的系统数量尚未公布。
英国国防部在一份新闻稿中说,使用该系统可以增强士兵发现和识别战场目标的能力,并迅速提供快速准确地开火所需的目标信息。
在平板电脑上收集信息时,当操作人员仍然隐藏时,系统将数据中继到飞机或火炮系统以与目标交战。
该系统有六种不同的套件,针对特定的战场任务角色量身定制,并且与现有的硬件和软件兼容。它可以由一名士兵操作。
Elbit系统公司周五在一份声明中说,DJFI使用人工智能,可以与英国军队已经使用的无线电通信设备进行接口。
英国国防大臣杰里米·昆评论说:”与Elbit Systems英国公司之间的这份合同不仅将最新的战场技术交付给我们的前线士兵,还投资于英国国防工业,维持了英国全国500多个工作岗位。
British army’s ‘detect and destroy’ battlefield system uses AI

The British Defense Ministry announced a $137 million contract on Friday for a high-tech surveillance system that could help soldiers to detect enemy targets.
The Dismounted Joint Fires Integrator, with “sensor to shooter” or “detect and destroy” thermal imaging technology, will be built by the British subsidiary of the Israeli defense contractor Elbit Systems over five years.
The number of systems purchased by the ministry was not announced.
Using the system enhances a soldiers’ ability to find and identify battlefield targets, and quickly provides targeting information necessary to fire quickly and accurately, the ministry said in a press release.
With information gathered on a tablet computer, as the operating soldier remains hidden, the system relays the data to an aircraft or artillery system to engage a target.
The system has six distinct suites, tailored to specific battlefield mission roles, and is compatible with existing hardware and software. And it can be operated by a single soldier.
The DJFI uses artificial intelligence and can interface with radio communications equipment already in use by the British armed forces, Elbit Systems said on Friday in a statement.
“This contract with Elbit Systems UK not only delivers the very latest in battlefield technology to our frontline soldiers, but also invests in the British defense industry, sustaining more than 500 jobs across the U.K,” Defense Minister Jeremy Quin commented.
