An overview of the meeting |
Priority must go to developing digital infrastructure, data platforms, and high-quality human resources for a modern military. Units should leverage the Ministry’s Data Center and accelerate shared database standardization. Enhancing AI and big data applications in command, training, and technical-logistics assurance is also vital. Furthermore, the military must train specialists in technology and cybersecurity, while creating mechanisms to attract talent and form research groups for new task requirements.
