Development and application of artificial intelligence for military training modeling and simulation in Republic of Korea

In the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, efforts are being made throughout society to achieve innovation by utilizing artificial intelligence (AI). Developed countries are trying to maximize their combat capabilities using AI in defense areas. AI research on the defense of the Republic of Korea is focused on field-related applications, such as drones and robots; however, the research on the application of AI to training fields is relatively insufficient. In this paper, this study briefly summarizes the concept of AI and examines the use of AI in modeling and simulation (M&S) training, one of the defense M&S fields. Furthermore, the present study evaluates the areas where development is possible using current technology: decision support systems, intelligent tutoring systems, and automatic simulation of virtual entities.
