Digital Media Exploitation (MEDEX)

Abstract

(U) The Digital Media Exploitation (MEDEX) program will develop technology to extract intelligence of tactical value from digital media found on computers captured in the field. MEDEX will automatically search content (text documents, audio files, images, videos, applications, etc.) and identify data of high intelligence value. Traditionally, the objective of a digital media exploitation system has been to extract content for later analysis, so accuracy (e.g., precision and recall) and scalability to multiple processors for large data volumes have been emphasized. However, warfighters may have very limited time to process the data for key evidence that may result in tactical advantage; therefore, speed and accuracy are critical. The MEDEX program will develop digital media exploitation technology suitable for tactical environments which have constrained computational resources, accelerated operational timelines, and specific intelligence objectives. The MEDEX program will develop fast algorithms and techniques for processing evidence from digital media to deliver distilled intelligence that is accurate and scalable to large datasets, and can execute quickly on a single mobile computing platform, such as a notebook or ultraportable computer.
