The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency has selected AeroVironment to support the development of a vertical takeoff and landing uncrewed aircraft system under the Advanced Aircraft Infrastructure-Less Launch and Recovery program. AeroVironment offers its Wildcat Group 3 VTOL drone, which boasts the SPOTR-Edge machine learning-enabled computer vision to minimize operational burdens and the ability to […]
NASA and its industry partners are testing a generative artificial intelligence capability that could have access to the agency’s sensitive internal data in the future. Jeff Seaton, chief information officer at NASA, said the agency expects to have the large language model rated at a Federal Information Security Modernization Act Moderate level by mid- to […]
The Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division is testing a DGX H100 artificial intelligence computer’s full capability to help its personnel analyze voluminous data more rapidly than a regular processing tool. Called Naval Gold Standard AI Computer, the workstation is located at the NSWCDD’s Innovation Lab for AI machine learning tasks and complex graphics processing, […]
The Department of Defense has selected the Panoptic Junction tool to support the Biden administration’s executive order on the safe deployment and development of artificial intelligence. The Army Cyber Command described the new tool as “a prototype platform that, once productized, will revolutionize security monitoring of IT systems,” improving the capability to detect malicious cyber […]
Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City Division has partnered with Brigham Young University to test proposed algorithms designed to enable unmanned underwater vehicle fleets to use bathymetry data for cooperative localization. The collaboration, formed through the Naval Engineering Education Consortium program, works on the project named NEEC: Active & Cooperative Terrain Aided Navigation Using Inverted-Ultra-short […]
Skylark Labs has demonstrated the capabilities of its Aerial Reconnaissance & Elimination System to detect and track rogue drones to Department of Defense stakeholders, including representatives from the Defense Innovation Unit. The company showed that its counter-unmanned aerial system, enabled by artificial intelligence, can perform surveillance operations even in areas beyond visual line of sight […]
NASA and IBM Research have introduced the Privthi-weather-climate foundational model, an artificial intelligence-powered tool that improves regional and local weather and climate models. Trained on NASA’s Modern-Era Retrospective analysis for Research and Applications, the NASA-IBM Research model uses AI learning abilities to apply patterns taken from initial data to a wide range of different scenarios. […]
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency announced that it has selected six concepts for a vertical take-off and landing uncrewed X-plane from nine design ideas submitted during Phase Ia of its AdvaNced airCraft Infrastructure-Less Launch And RecoverY, or ANCILLARY, program. The six companies behind the concepts – AeroVironment, Griffon Aerospace, Karem Aircraft, Method Aeronautics, Northrop […]
The Commander, Naval Surface Force, U.S. Pacific Fleet has set up the Unmanned Surface Vessel Squadron tasked with overseeing a fleet of small, unmanned surface vessels known as global autonomous reconnaissance craft. Manufactured by Maritime Applied Physics Corp., the 16-foot-long GARCs are designed for research, testing and operations and can be integrated into various Navy […]
The Department of Veterans Affairs is using artificial intelligence to identify veterans at risk of suicide or homelessness. The initiative aims to reduce the higher-than-average suicide rates among veterans by using predictive tools and scanning clinicians’ records and progress notes, Nextgov/FCW reported. During VetsinTech’s Vets in AI program launch, VA Assistant Under Secretary for Health […]
