ARMADA is a comprehensive research study aimed at building a practical roadmap for deploying Artificial Intelligence across the Missiles & Munitions (M&M) domain. Led by BulletProve, the project brings together experts in AI, ballistics, and international law to assess real-world opportunities, constraints, and implementation pathways.
As Artificial Intelligence continues to penetrate more applications, it is essential to assess which solutions are relevant and feasible in defence contexts. The pace of development is extremely fast and new AI-based technologies are presented every year.
AI is already widely used in defence applications such as Earth Observation (automated data analysis), radio communication, electronic warfare, and radar systems (real-time signal processing and conditioning). The Missiles & Munitions sector is progressing more cautiously due to stringent requirements, safety constraints and limited data availability.
ARMADA is an EDA-funded study focusing on AI usage and potential in the Missiles & Munitions domain. The main purpose is to analyse the current AI landscape and identify concepts that are usable in the defence sector — distinguishing between “what we could do” and “what we can do”. Feasibility is assessed against criteria such as cost-effectiveness, data scarcity, robustness and precision requirements. The outcome supports follow-on initiatives by turning “coulds” into “cans” through actionable guidance.
