The mission of the AI Software Architectures & Algorithms Group is to lead the nation in exploring and applying Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning to meet critical national security needs. Our focus areas include counter terrorism, counter human-trafficking, humanitarian assistance and disaster response, and protection of the global commons and our homeland. In collaboration with industry and academia, we develop prototypes at the frontiers of AI for the land, sea, air, and space domains.
Our technology applications range from using AI to augment human capability to enabling autonomous operations. Close-knit research teams, enabled by access to large amounts of data, work collaboratively to expand our understanding of relevant operational data sets and workflows. Our objective is to make a positive difference for analysts, military commanders, and boots-on-the-ground responders. Access to on-premise supercomputing and public/private clouds provides ample opportunities to do research and development at scale.
