Many of the outstanding challenges to the development and deployment of tactical autonomy are related to operations in the real world. Through AIR, DARPA is looking to prioritize fully integrated sensors, scalability and adaptability in the face of “open-world problems,” as well as deceptive effects and the learning of predictive models …

The current Armed drones like Predators and Reapers are essentially remote controlled that is they involve human operators remotely controlling the vehicle with the assistance of fairly low levels of automation for some functions (e.g., the operator specifies waypoints to be followed by the platform). Systems like these have proved …

Intelligence, in military science, information concerning an enemy or an area. The term is also used for an agency that gathers such information. Military intelligence is as old as warfare itself. Even in biblical times, Moses sent spies to live with the Canaanites in order to learn about their ways and …
Read More »DARPA EC developing AI based military sensor fusion technologies to optimally combine information originating from multiple heterogeneous sensors and subsystems.
Current artificial intelligence (AI) systems only compute with what they have been programmed or trained for in advance; they have no ability to learn from data input during execution time, and cannot adapt on-line to changes they encounter in real environments. The AIE program is one key element of …

Computer networks are more than ever exposed to cyber threats of increasing frequency, complexity and sophistication. Penetration testing (also known as pentesting or PT) is a common practice for actively assessing the defenses of a computer network by planning and executing all possible attacks to discover and exploit existing vulnerabilities. In …

Humanitarian Crisis scenarios occur frequently and they typically require immediate rescue intervention. In many cases, the scene conditions may be prohibitive for the human rescuers to provide instant aid, as they have to act within hazardous conditions, like collapsed buildings, air-poisoned, or radioactive environments. Many organizations and research teams are …

The advancement of Sensors, Communications and Radars have given rise to Electronic Warfare, which encompasses, in all battle phases, military actions involving the use of EM energy to determine, exploit, reduce or prevent hostile use of EM spectrum and the actions, which retain friendly use of the EM spectrum. Understanding …
