The Pentagon announced a new tactical nuclear bomb<\/a> program on Oct. 27. Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Ala., and Sen. John Wicker, R-Miss., welcomed the new bomb because it “will better allow the Air Force to reach hardened and deeply-buried targets”\u00a0in Europe and the Pacific.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This B61-13 variant is designed for heavy blast against nasty targets such as underground enemy nuclear missile sites.\u00a0That\u2019s you, China and North Korea.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And by the time the bomb is ready after the late 2020s, AI may have a hand<\/a> in how and when it\u2019s detonated.<\/p>\n

AI is already part of the intense modeling for nuclear weapons design. Nuclear warhead tests are banned, so AI will help the operational check-out before the new B61-13 bombs are sent to weapons storage facilities at Air Force bases.\u00a0<\/p>\n

NAVY FINDS PERFECT WINGMAN FOR CARRIER PILOTS \u2013 AI<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

However, the most intriguing question is: How much could AI be involved in a tactical nuclear weapons launch decision?\u00a0<\/p>\n

So far, the Pentagon is adamant that only humans and not AI will launch nuclear weapons. But the seeds of change are already present.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Artificial intelligence is extremely powerful,” Gen. Mark Milley, retired chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told “60 Minutes” on Oct. 8. “It’s coming at us. I suspect it will be probably optimized for command and control of military operations within maybe 10 to 15 years, max.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s why AI might just be crucial, even for nuclear weapons.\u00a0<\/p>\n

First, AI is already improving targeting data quality. “It\u2019s a lot easier to have an AI algorithm sort through the noise, especially if you\u2019re looking at a lot of water,” explained Margie Palmieri, the Pentagon\u2019s deputy chief digital and artificial intelligence officer, in an interview with Military Officer Magazine. <\/p>\n

WHAT IS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)?<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

By the time the B61-13 is ready<\/a>, AI will be fully integrated into conventional weapons targeting for combat aircraft. Crews and commanders will grow accustomed to teaming with AI for rapid evaluation of targeting alternatives. They\u2019ll find the AI decision aids work pretty well, and give U.S. forces an advantage in the heat of battle.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Of all the U.S. nuclear weapons, the new B61-13 is the perhaps most likely to be used in combat. If North Korea or some other foolish rogue uses a single nuclear weapon in a regional conflict, the new B61-13 launched from a bomber is designed to be the U.S. retaliation option.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Of course, the nuclear weapons launch authorization will come from the president, who will then delegate it to the commander in charge. However, there\u2019s a good chance the final choice of target for the B61-13 won\u2019t be made until the Air Force bombers are already in flight.\u00a0<\/p>\n

That\u2019s when AI may play a very big role. Particularly when the mission gets dicey.<\/p>\n

Look back at what happened the last time America used a nuclear weapon. On July 24, 1945, President Harry S. Truman ordered Gen. Carl Spaatz, commander of U.S. Army Strategic Air Forces, to drop the special atomic bomb on any one of four cities in Japan anytime after Aug. 3.\u00a0Hiroshima was hit<\/a> on Aug. 6, 1945.<\/p>\n

5 WAYS AI IS LEVELING THE BATTLEFIELD<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Then on Aug. 9 the crew of the B-29 Bockscar\u00a0<\/i>set out to bomb the city of Kokura, but they found the city obscured by a smoke screen from the Yawata Steel Works. The B-29 crew tried a target run over Kokura anyway, broke off, started taking enemy fire, circled again, ran low on fuel, then decided to fly the 95 miles to release the bomb on their alternate target of Nagasaki instead.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Now picture B-21 pilots in the 2030s, faced with a mission to employ B61-13 nuclear bombs. Turning to AI for a generative, predictive evaluation of battle conditions may be the smartest choice.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Those pilots will call on every bit of AI in their cockpit to check on collateral damage effects, pull information from the battle networks, locate the latest enemy missile launcher target positions, evade enemy aircraft and missiles are pursuing them, and more.<\/p>\n

Why would reliance on AI even be necessary?\u00a0<\/p>\n

The U.S. expects to be outnumbered in a future battle fought at extended ranges. Aircraft on a tactical nuclear mission will have only a fleeting chance to hit targets. Maybe the target is a mountain bunker holding enemy nuclear weapons or elusive missile batteries in tunnels.\u00a0<\/p>\n

If the U.S. president authorizes using a B61-13, that\u2019s a mission that must be completed at all costs. AI will have a lot to offer in those tense moments.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Air Force also wants to buy a lot of unmanned planes<\/a> for its future combat fleet. Years from now it\u2019s possible that airmen will trust an unmanned plane with AI to carry a B61-13 nuclear bomb, if it\u2019s the best way to get the mission done.<\/p>\n

None of this will happen casually. The Air Force has an extensive nuclear certification and surety process. It will always take a human decision to deploy, fuze, load and get airborne with nuclear bombs. However, expect airmen to start thinking about how AI can strengthen nuclear deterrence.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And if we don\u2019t, China will<\/a>.<\/p>\n
