Technology Innovation

Abstract

The Department of Defense (DoD) has a long history of technological breakthroughs and innovations originating from within the Department. In order to sustain technological superiority, the Department must take advantage of the rapid evolution of emerging commercial technologies that, when integrated with military systems and novel concepts of operation, will be a source of battlefield advantage. The Program is focused on developing space-based Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR), Artificial Intelligence-driven Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT), and Fix-Find-Finish-Exploit-Assess (F3EA) into an integrated capability for defeating threats posed by nuclear-capable, mobile missile - a problem set often plagued by sparse data. Our approach is composed of three innovative building blocks: 1) Machine learning techniques applied to commercial GEOINT for automated anomaly and change detection throughout the country of interest - crucial element for enhancing our indications and warnings required for precision strikes; 2) Machine-Human collaboration architecture to accelerate the F3EA joint forces targeting and decision-making cycle; and 3) Autonomous weaponeering demonstration - Exercise secure (C2S) cloud for timely precision strikes to hold mobile missile systems at risk. These blocks will serve to overcome the sparse data problem set and reduce the decision-making process.
