British Army Receives AI-Ready Dismounted Data System
The UK's Ministry of Defence this week awarded an £86 million contract for a Dismounted Data System (DDS) providing AI-capable radios, headsets, tablets, antennas, batteries and accessories to frontline soldiers. The MoD says DDS, field-tested in Estonia under Project ASGARD, will deliver integrated voice and visual data, accelerate targeting decisions with AI and extend strike range alongside loitering DART 250 drones, improving situational awareness and decision speed on the battlefield.
