1. Exercise spring STORM: AI on the ground Maj JS McEvoy

2. SCOPE What was spring storm? AI use Benefits The human factor Solutions Questions and discussion

3. Ex spring storm 21 EDF Exercise UK Battlegroup HQ 20 ABCT Planning cycles

4. The ai Microworld Machine Learning Decision Support Tool Reduce cognitive burden on staff Time-consuming processes Human firmly in/on the loop Speed – 12 hour planning cycle vs 6

5. AI use Worked alongside manual planning cycle Friendly competition Can it produce the same information faster and/or better?

6. 6 Doctrinal switch from voice to data – EMCON benefit

20. benefits OCD found to offer a significant reduction in planning time over traditional methods: For the 42 products produced the OCD delivered an 11.5 hour overall saving compared against the 20X 2.5 day planning cycle Majority of the time saved during Q1, where 10.75 hours was saved by the OCD The content and quality of the OCD’s products was judged positively: 81% of the products produced were judged to contain more information than the traditional products 91% were judged to be of equal or higher quality 20X staff recommendations have been captured to enhance further the OCD functionality to support deployed force activity – reflected in future use cases

21. What next?  LLM to 'write' (populate) orders Greater focus on maritime Attempts to procure – how do we fix this?

22. The human factor The capability is quicker, with better products produced Was not meant to be a ‘friendly competition’ Time Unfamiliarity Trust Go with what works The finished product

23. Solutions Safe to fail Ownership More ‘friendly competitions’ Understanding we don’t have a choice Stop calling it ‘innovation’
