On September 4, Japan's Defense Ministry emphasized the critical role of artificial intelligence (AI) in expanding the use of the Self-Defense Forces (SDF). The ministry's analysis of the ongoing conflict between the U.S.-Israeli camp and Iran revealed that integrating multiple drones and AI in a complex manner has become a new way of fighting.
The SDF must adopt measures to remain competitive with the rapid decision-making capabilities of the U.S. military. This insight will be incorporated into a planned revision of the government's three key national security-related documents by the end of the year. According to the analysis, the U.S. military's use of AI to select targets and attack methods in its conflict with Iran has significantly sped up decision-making and enhanced operational efficiency.
Iran has countered this with a large number of drones and by blocking the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial waterway for Middle East crude oil. Tehran's asymmetric warfare tactics against the United States are detailed by the ministry.
