NASHVILLE, Tenn. \u2014 The U.S. Army\u2019s one-stop shop for all things intelligence and electronic warfare is in the preliminary stages of constructing a digital pipeline to more efficiently develop artificial intelligence and machine learning tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The undertaking, dubbed Project Linchpin<\/a>, is a collaboration between the Program Executive Office for Intelligence, Electronic Warfare and Sensors, or PEO IEW&S, the Army Research Lab and Army Futures Command\u2019s AI integration hub.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through the project, officials intend to create the \u201cinfrastructure and environment\u201d needed to deliver AI capabilities for use across the intertwined intelligence, cyber and electronic warfare spaces. The plan, documents show, is to soothe troubles often associated with AI optimization and distribution, such as incorporation of new data and extensive training regimens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI see it as a huge enabler across my entire portfolio in how we can deliver the future algorithms and how we can alleviate the cognitive burden that\u2019s been discussed,\u201d PEO IEW&S boss Mark Kitz<\/a> said Dec. 8 at the Army\u2019s Technical Exchange Meeting 9, a networks-and-communications industry event in Nashville, Tennessee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The executive office conducted market research for the project at the conference this week. Additional engagements are planned throughout fiscal 2023. Of particular interest is input from industry regarding data holding, labeling, model training, verification and deployment, according to a request for information posted in late November.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
