Algorithmic Warfare Cross Functional Teams - Software Pilot Program
Abstract
AWCFT funds Project Maven, a rapid fielding AI program to augment and automate PED for FMV of TUAVs, Medium Altitude, High Altitude, and WAMI ISR platforms in support of defeat-ISIS and NDS peer/near peer competitor strategy. Project Maven also brings AI to CEM, ACINT, OPIR and PAI exploitation. Project Maven uses artificial intelligence, deep learning, and computer vision algorithms to detect, classify, and track objects within FMV images (e.g., person, vehicle, and weapon) and other AI algorithms for CEM and text based projects. Project Maven algorithms increase the intelligence value of ISR, reduce the human burden of screening so analysts can multi-task increasing productivity, and seeds the generation of insight from GEOINT. Project Maven is a commercial technology initiative that inserts commercial AI into existing programs of records. Most military intelligence exploitation systems were designed pre-AI and require specialized integration to enable the insertion of algorithms into their software baseline. Project Maven is the pathfinder AI initiative for the DoD and is investing in critical architecture to support the rapid expansion of AI to other mission areas besides GEOINT. As Project Maven algorithms increase in capability, the algorithms will move to the edge (on the sensor platform).
