Algorithmic Warfare Cross Functional Teams - Software Pilot Program
Abstract
Project Maven funds and fields increasing amounts of automation to FMV ground exploitation stations for TUAVs, to Medium Altitude, High Altitude ISR platforms, and for the exploitation of commercial and military satellite imagery. Project Maven accelerates the development and deployment of AI capabilities across the Defense Intelligence Enterprise, including exploitation of CEM, Maritime, OPIR and PAI. In these areas, Maven uses AI, deep learning, and algorithms to detect, classify, and track objects not only within FMV images (e.g., persons, vehicles, and weapons) but also to provide insights in combinations of these and other areas of imagery, data, and text- and sensor-based projects. Maven algorithms increase the intelligence value of ISR, reduce the human burden of screening and analyzing, and seed the generation of insight from GEOINT and other intelligence areas. To produce these results, Project Maven funds commercial technologies that insert commercial AI into existing platforms and programs of record, providing capability that augments and will eventually automate key parts of intelligence workflows. 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 intelligence mission areas in support of the NDS. As Maven algorithms increase in capability, the algorithms have moved to the edge (on sensor platforms). Further information is available at a higher classification level.
