WASHINGTON, Oct. 27, 2017 — Project Maven continues its campaign to partner alongside industry, academia in addition to national laboratories to prepare in addition to deploy artificial intelligence-based algorithms against to a greater extent than or less of DoD’s toughest challenges.
An algorithm is a laid of mathematical instructions that a estimator tin flame role to solve a occupation or perform a calculation. An AI-based algorithm improves its performance through a diversity of machine-learning techniques.
The project, likewise called the Algorithmic Warfare Cross-Function Team, or AWCFT, hosted an manufacture 24-hour interval inwards Silver Spring, Maryland, Oct. 24.
Project Maven’s objective, according to Air Force Lt. Gen. John N.T. “Jack” Shanahan, manager for Defense Intelligence for Warfighter Support inwards the Office of the Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence, “is to plow the enormous book of information available to DoD into actionable tidings in addition to insights."
During the event, Shanahan discussed the AWCFT’s progress in addition to partnership opportunities alongside over 300 representatives from manufacture in addition to academia.
Fast-Moving Effort
Project Maven is a fast-moving endeavour launched inwards Apr 2017 past times then-Deputy Defense Secretary Bob Work to accelerate the department’s integration of big data, artificial tidings in addition to motorcar learning into DoD programs.
More than 100 companies attended Project Maven’s manufacture event, which was sponsored past times DoD’s Defense Innovation Unit-Experimental, the Strategic Capabilities Office in addition to the Army Research Laboratory.
The project’s receive down draw involves developing in addition to integrating computer-vision algorithms needed to assist armed services in addition to civilian analysts encumbered past times the sheer book of full-motion video information that DoD collects every 24-hour interval inwards back upwardly of counterinsurgency in addition to counterterrorism operations.
Encouraging Progress
The AWCFT is on rail to deliver the receive down algorithms to warfighting systems past times the destination of 2017. The squad is already developing proposals to direct maintain on the adjacent laid of challenging tidings projects.
In Phase II, Project Maven volition expand its scope, turning the enormous book of information available to DoD into actionable tidings in addition to decision-quality insights at speed.
"[Project Maven] is nigh moving from the hardware industrial historic catamenia to a software data-driven information environs in addition to doing it fast in addition to at scale across the Department," Shanahan said.
