About the LAIRE

The Laboratory for Artificial Intelligence Research & Engineering (LAIRE) was established in 2025 at the United States Military Academy at West Point. 

Housed within the Robotics Research Center, LAIRE conducts fundamental and applied research and engineering in artificial intelligence (AI), including mathematics, information theory, decision science and advanced computing, needed to design and develop computationally intelligent robotics and autonomous Command, Control, Computing, Communications, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance and Targeting (C5ISRT) systems to solve U.S. Army and Department of Defense problems (DoD) with a specific focus on enabling rapid, effective decision-making in network centric environments.
