A Breaking Defense webinar with experts from CDAO, APL, and CNAS gets into the question of defining artificial intelligence vs machine learning.
Reducing cognitive overload on warfighters while improving “time to trust” for autonomous systems is a matter of design.
The service is also currently developing a risk management framework for Project Linchpin, the Army’s first program of record to help build out a trusted artificial intelligence/machine learning pipeline, according to Jen Swanson, deputy assistant secretary of the Army for data, engineering and software.
“The goal is to create a complete and efficient AI and ML development and delivery operational pipeline (AI/MLOps) with supporting services for sensor programs within PEO IEW&S while managing cost, schedule, risk and performance," according to a request for information.
The service “will use Project Linchpin to develop and deploy trusted AI & ML capabilities to intelligence, cyber, and electronic warfare sensor systems,” Col. Chris Anderson, project manager for intelligence systems and analytics, said.
Solving the JADC2 sense/make-sense/act strategy requires communications, navigation, identification capabilities that distribute the decision making to act fast.
After manifesting 1,400 payloads aboard the ISS, Voyager is applying its mission management expertise to the next generation of space stations, ensuring uninterrupted mission readiness and success from the ground to space.
