Details

Deloitte's advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) and digital twin solution, Optimal Reality® (OR) solves complex decision-making problems with a scalable, customisable architecture and has the potential to significantly enhance the Australian Defence Force's (ADF) operational capabilities. By leveraging sophisticated cloud computing and proprietary computational modelling, OR ingests, synchronises, and optimises high-dimensional data instantly. The platform combines AI and simulation, providing real-time, precise data to decision-makers, and accelerating safe, ethical autonomous mission control deployment. Integration of OR into defence operations could significantly enhance ADF capabilities, including improved situational understanding, increased operational efficiency, and enhanced safety. Additionally, OR has the potential to support robust Military Appreciation Processes (MAP) and planning in a variety of domains such as signals, intelligence, and logistics. The capabilities support pre-emptive planning and risk identification to mitigate adverse outcomes across diverse operational scenarios. Employing a blend of AI techniques and physics-based simulations, OR ensures transparency, interpretability, and scalability, aligning seamlessly with military and AI policies. Deloitte is committed to aligning OR with national AI frameworks and showcasing Australia's sovereign capability to create AI solutions that are not only cutting-edge but also safe, responsible, and trustworthy. By adopting advanced and ethical technologies, the ADF can secure a strategic advantage, demonstrating a commitment to pioneering AI integration to enhance national defence mechanisms and support the broader goals of maintaining and improving national security.
