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.
“I think across our entire portfolio, there are opportunities for us to simplify and deliver capabilities that allow for our units to have a more flexible network infrastructure,” Mark Kitz said.

"If there's one thing DoD and industry have done, it's try a whole bunch of different tools over the last 10 to 12 years.
