RAF Develops Project BOYD For Faster Decisions

The Ministry of Defence confirmed on Friday that Project BOYD is an RAF-led initiative using artificial intelligence to accelerate and improve military command-and-control decision-making. Defence Minister Luke Pollard said the RAF Rapid Capabilities Office will deliver a series of operational capability demonstrators to test data-centric, machine-speed decision-action cycles, and he told MP Ben Obese-Jecty the programme avoids autonomous targeting. The project will validate concepts before wider UK forces adoption.
