LOUIS \u2014 Since taking over operational control of the Defense Department\u2019s most prominent artificial intelligence tool in January, the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency has made \u201cimportant strides\u201d toward improving geolocation accuracy, detecting targets and automating work processes, according to its director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Project Maven was created in 2017 to take data, imagery and full-motion video from uncrewed systems, process it and use it to detect targets of interest. The agency announced last year it would <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/intel-geoint\/2022\/04\/27\/intelligence-agency-takes-over-project-maven-the-pentagons-signature-ai-scheme\/\" target=\"_blank\">oversee operations of the program<\/a> \u2014 which had been managed by the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/artificial-intelligence\/2022\/10\/26\/pentagons-project-maven-transition-stymied-by-congress-official-says\/\" target=\"_blank\">but a protracted fiscal 2023 budget cycle <\/a>pushed that official transition to the beginning of this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe bottom line here is that under NGA\u2019s watch, Maven . . . has made some significant technological strides and has already contributed to some of our nation\u2019s most important operations,\u201d Vice Admiral Frank Whitworth said May 22 at the GEOINT Conference in St. Louis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Within the intelligence community, NGA is the lead for processing and analyzing satellite and other overhead imagery as well as mapping the Earth. Some portions of Project Maven that do not pertain to GEOINT have shifted to the Pentagon\u2019s Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office. The effort is not yet a formal program, though the agency expects to achieve that milestone this fall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a briefing with reporters following his speech, Whitworth declined to offer details on<a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/it-networks\/2018\/07\/27\/targeting-the-future-of-the-dods-controversial-project-maven-initiative\/\" target=\"_blank\"> how Project Maven is being used<\/a> due to security concerns. He did say that military commanders are \u201creally excited\u201d about the tool\u2019s growth and the agency is expanding its collaboration with academia and industry as they continue to develop the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mark Munsell, NGA\u2019s director of data and innovation, said the agency\u2019s primary charge within Project Maven is to increase the quality of AI and machine learning algorithms and, as a result, improve their ability to detect targets within imagery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">NGA has used scenarios in the ongoing war in Ukraine to improve the AI algorithms used by Maven and other programs, he said. For example, the agency hasn\u2019t typically trained its AI models to recognize destroyed equipment. But that information has proved relevant in Ukraine, Munsell said, and NGA is now training its models for those scenarios.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The project was created
