In a bid to fast-track the deployment of battlefield-ready AI, Lockheed Martin has launched a virtual proving ground to assess how artificial intelligence systems would perform in air, land, sea, and space domains.
Called the “AI Fight Club,” the program invites teams from across industry to compete in simulated military scenarios, putting their AI models through complex, mission-driven challenges that mirror real-world operations.
The goal is to identify the most capable, resilient, and adaptable AI systems that can support US warfighters across multiple domains.
Each matchup will test how algorithms handle scenarios like contested airspace, coastal defense, and space-based surveillance, while ensuring they meet the US Department of Defense’s rigorous operational standards.
