Intelligent Components Software Platforms Open Technology Systems?(ICSPOTS) Assessment Event (AE) is now live! U.S. Citizens Only https://lnkd.in/e9tRuMnR - Submission Please submit NLT 30 October 2024, 11:59 PM ET here: https://lnkd.in/eVCbk94C - Q & A Telecon Intelligent Components Software Platforms Open Technology Systems (ICSPOTS) Virtual Q&A Telecon will take place on 16 Oct 2024 from 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM ET. RSVP?NLT 15 October 11:59 PM ET here: https://lnkd.in/eMET3QfB - Purpose? SOFWERX, in collaboration with USSOCOM?Program Executive Office – SOF Warrior (PEO-SW) and the Army Research Lab, will host the?Intelligent Components Software Platforms Open Technology Systems?(ICSPOTS) Assessment Event (AE) to?develop concepts and components of systems that utilize an open architecture to enable Electronic Warfare (EW).?Additionally, system-level aspects, such as integration, testing, and training, are also considered to ensure fieldable solutions.? - Background/Synopsis With a rapidly changing tactical operational environment and the preponderance of radio frequency (RF) signals in the space, maintaining a comprehension of cyber and EW persistent threats continues to put risks to the Warfighter operating in the field. The ability to increase awareness of adversarial capabilities from an EW perspective and prevent U.S. forces from being targeted is of utmost importance. The Foundational Research for Electronic Warfare in Multi-Domain Operations (FREEDOM) program at the Army Research Lab, in partnership with USSOCOM, aims to improve the ability to sense and communicate in the multispectral space to support Multi-Domain Operations. These requirements are increasingly challenging due to the expansion of the contested RF spectrum and the new sensors virtually occupying the RF space. One of the most persistent challenges in the Department of Defense is the advent, or availability of a scalable and sustainable data structure and schema. The use of scalable knowledge graphs for certain disciplines and domains will deliver an unprecedented foundation to apply machine learning and eventually artificial intelligence to the EW problem set. - Technology Focus Areas 1. Sensors 2. Data networking (transport/backhaul) 3. Data processing 4. Data Analytics and Artificial Intelligence 5. Data Visualization 6. System Integration, Testing, and Training Concepts - Objective USSOCOM PEO-SW will use this assessment event with?Government, Industry, Academia, and National Laboratory participants to identify solutions providers and evaluate technology, architecture, and implementation strategies through technology evaluations and/or technology sprints to enhance our understanding in this area.? #OpenTechnologySystems #MultispectralSpace #CyberThreats #DataNetworking #DataProcessing #SystemIntegration #MachineLearning #ArtificialIntelligence #DataVisualization
