The US Army is testing artificial intelligence systems (II), which will help the technical staff to maintain military equipment in good condition, According Gearmix.
It is assumed, the AI will advance to warn people about, that in a certain period of time the machine will need to repair this or that spare.
Software from Uptake Technologies company is set to several tens of BMP Bradley M2A3. The military hopes, AI that will reduce downtime to unplanned equipment maintenance, make repairs (thanks to a system of predictions) more productive and efficient.
The software is capable of controlling such motor parameters BMP, the temperature, number of revolutions, condition of the coolant. Thus AI compares the received information with the data models of similar engines, which took place earlier failure. We are talking about the database, volume of 1,2 billion. hours of similar engines. The program automatically searches for matches, analyzes and, if necessary outputs prediction on possible damage.
Tests cost companies Uptake in $1 million. However, the costs promise to pay off: If testing goes well, the US Army will expand the application of this technology on its entire fleet of armored vehicles.
In the company stressed, that their products are not a substitute for technical services, but only helps them to quickly solve problems, especially odd ones rise to serious dimensions.
