Application of Fuzzy Logic Control Systems in Military Platforms

The future of warfare will be defined by technological innovation rather than pure destructive power. While development is ongoing, fuzzy logic based artificial intelligence systems are capable of operating in complex battlefield environments and producing better results than existing control systems. Fuzzy controllers in military applications such as mobility, cybersecurity, target tracking, interoperability and unmanned combat aerial vehicle control have shown encouraging results when introduced to uncertainties and complexities of the battlefield. These preliminary results are a ground for further development as their application will increase the effectiveness of a fighting force while reducing collateral damage and unnecessary loss of life. Fuzzy controllers are easier to adopt and modify compared to complex mathematical models in use today. This work adds to the body of evidence that fuzzy controllers can be applied to wide ranging military applications effectively.
