Applications of Large Language Models in the Military Sphere
Abstract
This chapter explores the transformational impact of large language models (LLMs) on modern military operations, particularly in the context of hybrid and conventional warfare. The focus is on the role of LLMs in improving decision-making, intelligence analysis, and operational efficiency, as evidenced by the experience of the Russian−Ukrainian war. The chapter also examines the capabilities of multimodal LLMs for processing images, audio, and video, as well as their use in autonomous systems and cybersecurity. Additionally, the chapter analyzes the future potential of LLMs for enhancing decision support systems and proposes the application of multi-agent LLMs in military technology and virtual reality (VR). The integration of LLMs into VR enables the creation of personalized, adaptive, and realistic training, significantly improving the preparation of military personnel.
