Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Basic Research

Abstract

This Program Element (PE) executes intramural and extramural basic research in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to support an AI-enabled Multi-Domain Operations (MDO) Force. The PE includes Projects that perform basic research in AI/ML with the potential to impact areas such as: Target Detection using Multiple Cooperative Autonomous Sensors (MCAS); more effective and quicker leader decision-making through use of AI-enhanced Common Operating Procedure (COP); replication of tactical behaviors to enable autonomous capabilities for maneuver; predictive maintenance; Intel support for Operations (specifically in support of long range precision fires); AI-enabled network/cybersecurity; intelligent business and process automation; and medical support. The Army's Artificial Intelligence Integration Center (AI2C) will provide strategic guidance and coordination of these basic research efforts in AI/ML across the Army Modernization enterprise. Work in this PE contributes to the Army Science and Technology (S&T) portfolio and is fully coordinated with efforts in PE 0602180A Artificial Intelligence Technologies and PE 0603040A Artificial Intelligence Advanced Technologies. The cited work is consistent with the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering S&T focus areas, the Army Modernization Strategy and the Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office.
