AI on the Front Line - The leading AI Initiatives in the UK MoD

The UK Ministry of Defence is driving forward the integration of artificial intelligence across defence through a series of flagship initiatives. This document highlights three key programmes - the Defence AI Centre (DAIC), Project THEIA, and innovation activities led by the Defence and Security Accelerator (DASA). Together, they reflect the MoD’s strategic commitment to building a digitally enabled, data-driven force capable of operating effectively across all domains. These efforts support faster decision-making, greater operational agility, and stronger collaboration with industry, academia, and international partners - all underpinned by a focus on responsible and ethical AI use.
