Galois
Preserving Privacy and Security in Critical Federal Intelligence IT
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency tapped Galois to develop a secure election system using technology that could then be applied to other situations. The election system will be opened to anyone to try to hack it as a way of identifying vulnerabilities.
SAIC
Internet of Battlefield Things
With its Internet of Battlefield Things, SAIC took on the task of ensuring that warfighters have real-time, multidomain situational awareness and persistent communications that operate even in disconnected mode. The solution uses internet-of-things and related commercial technologies.
Galois is also enhancing the security and privacy of Census Bureau products, including those that inform Congress about the health of the economy. The industry inputs that feed the bureau’s calculations are often paper- based and delayed by months, but the company’s efforts are speeding the delivery of that information.
General Dynamics Mission Systems
Multi-Intelligence Exploitation
The defense contractor used
AI and machine learning to develop the Multi-INT Analysis and Archive System (MAAS) to capture, distribute and exploit full-motion video and geospatial intelligence capabilities.
The company built the Fusion Analytics Core Element Traction Services (FACETS) system so customers with intelligence, surveillance
and reconnaissance missions could leverage open-source and cloud-based capabilities. FACETS brings AI and
The Army and the Marine Corps are interested in the concept, which incorporates sensors, mobile broadband and networking, cloud computing, high-performance computing and other technologies. It will allow Defense Department organizations to collect, aggregate and process massive amounts of sensor data.
During a demonstration, the Marine Corps presented numerous challenges that represented the complexity of battlefield conditions. Using SAIC’s solution, Marines were able to respond to those challenges armed with real-time information — captured via sensors and translated through a software gateway and layers of analytics that gave meaning to the data. The result was actionable intelligence that could inform targeting and other battlefield actions.
The implications extend beyond military operations to other organizations that have highly specialized requirements, such as border security, disaster relief and counter-narcotics activities.
machine learning to MAAS
and incorporates automated algorithm deep learning, object detection and characterization, and correlation and fusion
of information from multiple sources.
