Air force and Sydney scientists join to build a 'combat cloud' of eyes, ears and noses

Group Captain Jerome Reid, the director of the RAAF’s modernisation project named Plan Jericho, said it wasn’t enough for the force to have “exquisite platforms” such the new Joint Strike Fighter, satellites and large surveillance drones. These needed a “constellation” of sensors such as the thumbnail-sized devices being developed at Sydney University.


These would create a combat cloud whose data would be autonomously processed and then delivered to military commanders in what is termed “human-machine augmentation”.


This so-called “augmented intelligence will enable us to cognitively overwhelm our competitors” by throwing challenges at them that are devised using the battle cunning and creativity that only the human mind can devise, yet at machine speeds, he said.


“We’ll have classic sensors, quantum sensors, electronic warfare sensors, that can be stitched together into a combat cloud,” he said.
