integration, and what are the barriers?• Intelligence will be perhaps the first branch of defence to truly benefit from the application of advanced technologies, including AI and machine

learning. How will those technologies impact the ways in which we fuse and exploit data, and how can indsutry help to speed up theirintroduction?
