Information from the gathering and processing \u201cprovides the continuous decision-quality information necessary to successfully employ air, space and cyber operations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The research is divided into three categories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First, the Air Force Research Lab is investing in information extraction, or identifying and cataloging information on a mass scale. Second, the research will look into signals processing, which catalogues the information. Finally, the Air Force Research Lab is looking into automation enhancements, or the ability to quickly recall information once stored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The announcement was also an effort to research new methods that can bring the Doppler effect, or the ability to manipulate radio frequency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe goals for this component are to develop methods for the detection, identification, characterization and geolocation of emerging communications and low-radiated power level signals,\u201d the agency said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The announcement comes as the U.S. government has embraced artificial intelligence for cybersecurity and signals collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In September, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency announced that it would invest more than $2 billion in artificial intelligence programs, which included creating better algorithms, reasoning and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.darpa.mil\/work-with-us\/ai-next-campaign\" target=_blank>enhancing<\/a> security. Currently, there are more than 60 programs at DARPA that have an element of AI, according to the agency. That is in addition to the agency\u2019s Artificial Intelligence Exploration program, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.darpa.mil\/news-events\/2018-07-20a\" target=_blank>announced<\/a> in July, which provides rapid funding opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity\u2019s Mercury Program also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iarpa.gov\/index.php\/research-programs\/mercury\/mercury-baa\" target=_blank>researches<\/a> how to automatically analyze foreign signals in order to predict military and political events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When asked what investments Cyber Command is making now that they hope to pay off in the future, Capt. Ed Devinney responded \u201canything with AI and machine learning\u201d during <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fifthdomain.com\/smr\/cybercon\/\" target=_blank>Fifth Domain\u2019s CyberCon 2018<\/a>, which was held in November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThere aren\u2019t that many people who do AI that well,\u201d Devinney said. \u201cThere is a growing understanding and consensus that we need to operate at machine speed, especially talking about active defense of the network.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Net-centric warfare is evolving,
