United States, UK and Australia to Test AI Systems to Track Chinese Submarines as part of Australian-U.K.-U.S. (AUKUS) technology-sharing agreement
Summary
On December 2, 2023, the United States, U.K. and Australia announced that they would begin testing AI algorithms to track Chinese submarines in the Pacific Ocean with more speed and accuracy, as part of the trilateral Australian-U.K.-U.S. (AUKUS) technology-sharing agreement. Using sonar data gathered by U.S., UK and Australian sonobuoys, the AI system will rapidly process that data to better understand where Chinese submarines are moving undersea, “allow[ing] for timely high-volume data exploitation,” according to a joint statement of the three countries’ defense chiefs.
