United States and Japan launch SAMURAI initiative to advance AI safety in unmanned aerial vehicles

By Defence Industry Europe

The U.S. Department of War and Japan’s Ministry of Defense have formalised a project arrangement establishing the Strategic Advancement of Mutual Runtime Assurance Artificial Intelligence (SAMURAI) initiative. Signed on 22 September, the agreement sets a framework for cooperative research and development on Runtime Assurance (RTA) technology.

 

 

RTA provides artificial intelligence-enabled unmanned aerial vehicles with the ability to monitor their own performance and ensure safe operation. Findings from the project are expected to inform future integration of AI-equipped UAVs with next-generation fighter aircraft.

The initiative is designed to improve operational safety, strengthen interoperability, and enhance the overall capabilities of the U.S.-Japan Alliance.
