UK's Largest AI Defence Trial

The UK has successfully conducted its largest ever multi-domain artificial intelligence trial, bringing together land, sea and air capabilities to advance defence technology.

The WINTERMUTE 3 trial at Portland Harbour gathering high-quality data for developing AI systems that will provide UK forces with operational advantage.

This innovative trial conducted by the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl) supports the Government's Plan for Change and strengthens the UK's position as a leader in defence technology innovation.

Collecting data from multiple domains is helping creating the foundation for future AI systems that will protect our forces for decades to come.

The trial featured vessels, ground vehicles, and both manned and unmanned aircraft operating in coordinated scenarios.

Dstl's science and technology is vital to keeping our Armed Forces safe and the UK secure.

Its mission is to deliver operational advantage at pace, shape the defence and security landscape, prepare for the future, leverage and influence internationally.

Dstl gives the UK a battle-winning edge across science, technology, cyber and information. It offers expert advice allied to inside knowledge, and underpinned by deep operational understanding of defence and security needs.
