AI Boosts ASCOT 7 Simulation Capabilities

Macquarie University and PLEXSYS have partnered to integrate artificial intelligence agents into ASCOT 7, PLEXSYS’ Command and Control (C2) training and simulation platform. The collaboration aims to improve human-machine teaming in complex operational environments through AI-driven processing within the system.

For PLEXSYS, this integration enhances ASCOT 7’s capabilities and broadens its application in domestic and international defence contexts. Macquarie University gains a practical platform to apply AI research, supporting student engagement with emerging defence technologies and promoting academic-industry collaboration.

The Australian Defence Force is expected to benefit from more efficient decision-making, improved data interpretation, and enhanced interoperability through the system’s real-time processing of complex tactical information.

“This partnership represents a powerful convergence of academic excellence, technological innovation, and national defence priorities. "Together, we are shaping the future of military simulation and training.” said Robert Miller, Director PLEXSYS Australia.
