We crystalize these ideas and the impetus to perform these functions at the pace of innovation as ‘Operationalize Science for Transformational Overmatch’. Simply put, we seek to accelerate discovery and transition breakthroughs to the Warfighter faster than anyone else. Artificial Intelligence (AI) (rule-based and Machine Learning (ML), together) presents powerful new tools for exploring an information landscape in discovering novel materials for applications in extreme conditions (e.g. high-strain rate, high-g loading, high temperature).
