Introduction

Artificial intelligence and data analytics are rapidly transforming defense and security systems worldwide. Modern defense organizations increasingly rely on advanced computational methods to support strategic decision-making, intelligence analysis, cybersecurity operations, and resource management. This book explores the role of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data analytics in improving defense management and security practices. It examines how data-driven approaches can enhance operational effectiveness, risk assessment, threat detection, and strategic planning in defense institutions. Bringing together contributions from researchers and practitioners across multiple disciplines, the book will present theoretical frameworks, technological innovations, and practical applications of intelligent systems in defense environments. The volume aims to provide a comprehensive reference for scholars, policymakers, and professionals interested in the intersection of artificial intelligence, data analytics, and defense management.

Objective

The objective of this book is to explore how artificial intelligence and data analytics can support strategic and operational decision-making in defense and security contexts. As defense environments become increasingly complex and data-intensive, organizations must adopt advanced analytical tools and intelligent systems to process large volumes of information and respond to emerging threats. The book will provide a multidisciplinary perspective combining artificial intelligence, data science, information systems, and defense management. It will highlight innovative technologies, analytical methods, and decision-support systems that enhance situational awareness, operational efficiency, and strategic planning in defense organizations. By presenting research contributions and case studies from international experts, the book aims to advance knowledge on the role of intelligent technologies in modern defense management and security operations.
