Next Generation Applied Artificial Intelligence

The proliferation of data within the military poses a significant challenge for operators interpreting differing data sets into meaningful information upon which to make informed and timely decisions. Artificial Intelligence capabilities are developing at pace and can present opportunities through Deep Learning for operators and decision makers to interpret vast, disparate data sets concurrently. The Defence and Security Accelerator (DASA) has funded two projects led by Montvieux, in excess of £500,000, following a DASA themed competition to find new technologies, processes and ideas to'Revolutionise the human information relationship for Defence'. The Prediction Toolset is a Deep Learning based Artificial Intelligence capability that uses current and historical information to predict the change of control on the ground, in both space and time, between opposing groups fighting within an operational theatre. This capability provides foresight to analysts and collection managers, enabling them to proactively anticipate future events on the ground, thereby enhancing the protection of forces and improving the efficiency and effectiveness of information collection.
