Which programming languages should I know for military applications of artificial intelligence?

Question

I intend to enter the defense industry as an artificial intelligence specialist after I graduate from school. Which programming languages should I know well? I hope Common Lisp is still important, but I would be even more excited if a lazy FP language such as Haskell is widely used as well. Java and ADA, I can ... live with. Are C/C++ common as well? If it helps, I want to get involved in the development of autonomous fighting machines and cognitive computer systems *in particular*.

Answer 1

um.....i'm not good at this topic?????

Answer 2

I think being solidly grounded in C++ and object-oriented design would be ok. As long as you understand the concepts moving to another OO language (like Ada) should not be a huge issue for you.

Ada is of course the language prompted and promoted by the DoD, but I think even they realize it's showing its age and is not the best tool anymore due to its inefficiency.

I've added a link below that discusses this further. Prolog, Lisp and Java are mentioned among others.
