Intelligence Capabilities and Innovation
Abstract
Project Intelligence Innovation funds the development, testing, prototyping and demonstration of innovative intelligence capabilities to integrate intelligence and counterintelligence activities across numerous domains and technical areas including SIGINT, MASINT, electronic warfare, cyber, GEOINT, multi-sensor integration, biometrics, identity management, collection management, special communications, clandestine operations, and tagging, tracking and locating. Project Maven fields increasing amounts of automation to FMV ground exploitation stations for TUAVs, Medium Altitude and High Altitude ISR platforms. 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). 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 AI architecture to support the rapid expansion of AI to other mission areas besides GEOINT. As Maven algorithms increase in capability, the algorithms will move to the edge (on the sensor platform).
