📢 Opportunity Alert: UUV Autonomous Mission Operations Development: Tire Detection Challenge The Naval Undersea Warfare Center (NUWC) Division, Keyport in conjunction with the Office of Naval Research (ONR)/NavalX are sponsoring a prize challenge focused on Unmanned Underwater Vehicle (UUV) Autonomy (hereinafter referred to as “the Challenge”). The Navy seeks to enhance the quality of the self-governing controls and functionality of UUVs by developing autonomous algorithms to perform various missions. For the Challenge, participants are expected to develop Robot Operations System (ROS) based code to perform mission planning and detection of environmental hazards, and more specifically, tires. These tires are often left over from misguided attempts of reef building efforts during the 1970s that dive teams are attempting to remediate. The Navy’s goal in this challenge is to provide data/information to make the remediation more efficient and effective.

When the Journal of Electromagnetic Dominance interviewed Chris Abraham, VP of marketing for CRFS, on the most important requirement armed forces face in terms of fixed-site C-UAS, he responded unequivocally that “It is the ability to run autonomous operations on a 24/7 basis”. Read Chris’ insights in JED magazine and see how CRFS provides ESM and SIGINT solutions for C-UAS applications. https://hubs.la/Q02hRF4v0 #CUAS #JED #CRFS

DARPA’s GARD Program: Addressing Adversarial Attacks and Impact on Military Operations The Guaranteeing AI Robustness Against Deception (GARD) program, led by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), focuses on building defenses against adversarial attacks on AI systems. Here are the key points: Adversarial Attacks Addressed by GARD: Unique Vulnerabilities: AI and autonomous systems face specific vulnerabilities beyond traditional cyber threats. Examples: Noise Injection: Adversaries can insert noise patterns into sensor data, causing AI systems to misclassify. Physically Realizable Attacks: Purposefully designed stickers or modifications can deceive machine learning algorithms (e.g., misclassifying a tank as a school bus). GARD’s Goal: Develope defenses capable of countering broad categories of attacks, moving beyond specific defense methods. Impact on Military Operations:Enhanced Safety: GARD’s defensive capabilities enhance the safety and effectiveness of military AI systems. Reduced Vulnerability: By addressing deception attacks, GARD reduces the risk of adversaries taking control of autonomous systems or compromising decision support applications. Efficient Airspace Operations: GARD’s ASTARTE system automates real-time airspace management, aiding joint fires execution. Seamless Integration: ASTARTE seamlessly plugs into existing Army and Air Force command and control systems, streamlining operations. Collaboration with the CDAO:Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office (CDAO): DARPA has transitioned GARD-related defensive capabilities to the CDAO. Partnership: DARPA collaborates with industry partners, including Raytheon Corporation, to develop AI-enabled software for airspace synchronization. Joint Experiment: The U.S. Army’s Mission Command Battle Lab and the ShOC-N (U.S. Air Force’s Advanced Battle Management System Battle Lab) jointly experimented with the ASTARTE system. ASTARTE’s Purpose: Efficient airspace operations and real-time battle management decision-making in congested battlespaces. In summary, GARD’s focus on robustness against deception enhances military AI systems’ security, reduces vulnerability, and contributes to efficient operations123. 🛡️🚀 Learn more: gardproject.org2 defensescoop.com3 af.mil4 darpa.mil5 phys.org6 meritalk.com7 defense.gov8 army.mil9 gao.gov10 ngaus.org11 arxiv.org12 nextgov.com13 afrc.af.mil

USAID just released a Request for Information (RFI) to learn more about the utilization of unmanned aerial systems, such as drone technology, to achieve humanitarian, stabilization, and development objectives. If you know of any organizations or people working on this technology, please inform them of this RFI. It provides a good way to let the U.S. government know of any innovative practices and lessons learned- and to provide awareness of your particular organization’s efforts or expertise in this area. This also includes those entities who may be concerned with the ethics and secondary/ third order effects of the utilization.
