On July 23, the Air Force Research Lab released an OpML BAA Industry Day announcement. Registration closes July 31 for the August 2 event.
The Air Force
Research Laboratory/Information Directorate will be conducting an Industry Day
on 02 August 2019 regarding upcoming Broad Agency Announcement (BAA)
FA8750-19-S-7014 for the Operationalizing Machine Learning for Command and
Control (OpML C2) program. The purpose of this meeting is to provide interested
companies/entities with an overview of the problem space that the OpML program
is attempting to address. This meeting hopes to address specific areas of
interest, promote an early exchange of information, and provide an opportunity
for both the Government and Industry to gather more information prior to the
request for white papers that will be published on the Federal Business Opportunity
web site.
The Autonomous Command and Control Core Technical Competency (AC2 CTC)
is seeking to identify, develop, and evaluate novel applications of Artificial
Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) to support operational aspects of
Command and Control (C2). Our initial analyses considered wide-ranging
applications of ML in the air combat and air mobility operations centers, as
well as interesting applications for air battle management C2. The analyses
have narrowed down the space of paired operational applications and their
potential ML solutions to a manageable set of specifications without precluding
the proposal of other unique and novel approaches. The sought-out solutions
primarily focus on the problems of planning, operational and tactical level
decision making, and operational execution management. The development of
prototype applications, respective use-cases, workflows, and data requirements
are critical to establish the viability and usefulness of the assessed
candidate applications for assessment in an operational setting.
