Drones and other unmanned machines can save human lives on the battlefield, but adversaries could hack into their artificial intelligence software. Purdue University will be leading research in partnership with Princeton University on ways to protect the software of these autonomous systems by making their machine learning algorithms more secure. These algorithms are what the machines rely on to make decisions and adapt on the battlefield.
