The AI Team advances research and development that enables the Army to effectively integrate artificial intelligence into future operations. Their work spans operationalizing AI for real-world mission applications, developing AI-enabled platforms and decision-support tools, enhancing next-generation command-and-control capabilities, and ensuring AI systems are trustworthy, resilient, and secure. Through collaborations across government, academia, and industry, the team develops innovative technologies that improve decision-making, cybersecurity, simulation, human-machine teaming, and battlefield effectiveness.

As such, the research and analysis portfolio comprises the following six thrust areas: 

1. Battlefield, data-efficient sense-making to deliver decision speed
2. Integrated human-centered computing with machine intelligence
3. Artificial intelligence for autonomous cyber defense operations
4. Secure, assured, robust, intelligent, and evolving C5ISR systems
5. Information advantage via cognitive and societal computing
6. Data security and emerging technologies for alternative computing

The Cyber Operations Team develops innovative solutions that enhance the effectiveness, readiness, and modernization of Army and Joint cyber forces. Their work spans cyber workforce development, human–AI teaming, operational capability assessment, and support to cyber mission organizations. By combining technical expertise, research, training, and operational consultation, the team helps strengthen cyber operations, improve operator performance, and prepare the force for emerging challenges in the cyber domain.

This is accomplished through:

• Support to units across the Army and DoD
• Exploration and research into electromagnetic manipulation and sensing
• Analysis of platform and sensor quality and trust
• Drawing attention to new avenues of development and operation through publication and discussion

Electromagnetic Warfare (EW) Team

The Electronic Warfare Team advances the Army’s ability to understand, employ, and innovate within the electromagnetic spectrum. Their work spans EW doctrine development, operator training, RF sensing and data processing, and the application of artificial intelligence to RF classification and decision-making. By combining research, experimentation, and rapid prototyping, the team develops practical solutions that improve electromagnetic spectrum operations, accelerate force modernization, and enhance operational effectiveness in contested environments.

ACI conducts interdisciplinary research to provide strategic guidance to Army senior leadership on the development of policy, doctrine, and the acquisition of innovative technologies. The goal is to safeguard the force while upholding civil liberties and privacy, a task that has become increasingly complex with the widespread integration of technology into daily life, which has exposed new digital vulnerabilities.

Research Focus Areas:

• Information Advantage Campaign of Learning
• Commercial Data Privacy
• Influence Campaigns
• Protection of Service Member Personal Data

Critical Infrastructure Resilience

Focus on improving cyber resiliency for critical infrastructure and their communities through understanding and researching the interdependencies between critical infrastructure sectors at all levels; improving public-private partnerships; informing DOD, DA, and other agencies of the impacts of cyber incidents on critical infrastructure and how those impacts influence Army operations; and providing an opportunity for local municipalities to exercise cyber incident response.

The Jack Voltaic Cyber Research Project is an innovative, bottom-up approach to developing resilience in critical infrastructure. Developed by the Army Cyber Institute at West Point, this research assembles critical infrastructure partners to study cybersecurity and protection gaps
