Notable Technical Inquiry

Techniques to Camouflage and Deceive AI/ML or Autonomous Systems on the Battlefield

The Defense Systems Information Analysis Center (DSIAC) was asked to research techniques for defeating adversary artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) target recognition. AI/ML research is driving the advancement of the next generation of automatic target recognition (ATR) capabilities using electro-optical infrared (EO/IR) sensors. The inquirer was seeking to develop and field robust AI/ML-based ATR algorithms and, at the same time, recognized that it is critical to…
