According to the report, the Royal Air Force (RAF) is exploring how artificial intelligence (AI) could help commanders make faster, data-driven decisions through a program called Project Boyd. The initiative positions AI as a support tool for command and control rather than a combat system.
The report stated that Defense Minister Luke Pollard described Project BOYD as a series of operational capability demonstrators harnessing AI to transform complex, time-consuming, and resource-intensive command and control planning cycles, and its goal is to enable machine-speed, data-centric decision making that produces a decision-action cycle palpably better than their own.
The report said that Project Boyd will progress through a series of demonstrator exercises, allowing the RAF to test AI concepts in realistic planning environments before broader adoption. It said that this phased approach helps identify effective tools, address limitations, and assess whether AI-enabled planning delivers a measurable operational advantage.
Additionally, the project builds on the UK military’s largest AI experiment to date, conducted in mid-2025, which tested how advanced algorithms could enhance battlefield operations across land, sea, and air.
