Strategic planning with artificial intelligence is one of the most important transformation areas that makes decision-making processes in the modern defense industry faster, more accurate, and more data-driven. As security threats become more diverse, operational environments grow more complex, and the volume of data increases rapidly, traditional planning methods alone are becoming less sufficient. At this point, AI-supported analysis systems, big data processing, scenario modeling, risk prediction, and decision-support technologies are becoming central to strategic planning. Artificial intelligence analyzes information from different sources in a short time and provides commanders, defense managers, and decision-makers with stronger foresight.

In the defense sector, strategic planning with artificial intelligence not only evaluates existing threats but also helps analyze future risks in advance. Real-time intelligence data, simulation-based scenarios, information from autonomous systems, and AI-supported prediction models enable more effective defense strategies to be developed. This approach contributes to more efficient use of resources, increased operational readiness, and more informed decisions during crises. At the same time, human oversight, ethical responsibility, reliable data management, and cybersecurity are indispensable parts of AI-supported strategic planning. In the future, success in defense planning will depend not only on possessing technology but also on using that technology together with human judgment, strategic foresight, and secure decision-making mechanisms.
