The
United States Army
carried out the third tests of what they call the 'Global Information Dominance Experiment' (GIDE), a set of
cutting-edge technologies based on artificial intelligence with which to acquire predictive capacity
to "get ahead of the enemy's movements."
The North American Aerospace Defense Command (
NORAD
) and the United States Northern Command (
NORTHCOM
), in collaboration with the 11 US commandos, carried out the third in a series of tests with this technology in late July.
Global Information Mastery Experiment 3, or
GIDE 3
, was run in three synchronized but distinct stages.
The first focused on data solutions to
increase decision space
through hostile prompts and warnings.

The second instance evaluated the ability to respond to the contested logistics and demonstrated global collaboration to
quickly create deterrence options
, in addition to dynamic planning between commands.
Stage three and decisive demonstrated the capability of the Joint Artificial Intelligence Center
for machine-enabled conflict defense
and crisis deterrence options
on
real-time threats.
"Machine learning and artificial intelligence can detect changes [in a specific situation] and we can
set parameters in which it will give an alert to become aware
and go to check another sensor like the satellite capacity of GEOINT to take a closer look at what it could be happening in a specific place, "detailed General Glen VanHerck, NORAD and Commander of NORTHCOM, which reports to the Pentagon.
How GIDE works
The GIDE system is characterized by
using cloud computing
, sensors (both military and civil from around the world) and
available information from satellites, radars and underwater capabilities
.
With the test they carried out for more than a year, the system allowed them to acquire the
ability to "see days in advance"
to be able to react to the activity of the enemy on duty.
The technology they use for this system is not new, as General VanHerck explained, but
it is not focused on a military problem, but on a data and software problem
, to make everything fit together.
Basically, it is "a software-based capability that uses technology that is available today."

The General also noted that GIDE "embodies a fundamental change" in the way they use information and data to increase decision space.
They hope that with this system they will get military opportunities.
"The GIDE 3 experiment showed how software tools designed for
cross-combatant command
collaboration, evaluation, and decision-making
can be used to enable more effective global logistics coordination, intelligence sharing, and
operations planning,
" concluded Gen. Glen. VanHerck, NORAD and Commander of NORTHCOM.
The first GIDE was carried out in December 2020. During that experiment, NORAD and USNORTHCOM, in coordination with the rest of the US Commands and the undersecretary of Defense for intelligence and security, convened a digital table to create a prototype of command collaboration that is capable of predicting threats through the use of various AI technologies.
