AOC Symposium & Convention 2018

Symposium Session - Advancing Automation for EMS Warfighting (Room Rm 145, Convention Center)

29 Nov 18
10:00 AM - 11:30 PM
"Advanced Autonomous Systems" was highlighted in the 2018 National Defense Strategy as one aspect of modernizing key military capabilities. Nowhere is that more pronounced than the EMS where success or failure is predicated on the speed of light. The complexity and congestion in the EMS mandate decisions in a relevant timeframe that exceeds human capacity. The technical advancement and operational implementation of autonomous EMS operations will have a significant impact on critical warfighting capability. Military advantage in EMS operations will go to the victor of closing the observe, orient, decide, and act (OODA) loop. Themes: Automating Collection and Exchange of EMS Data; Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning; Dynamic Spectrum Access (DSA) Technology and Schema SESSION CHAIR: Mr. Marv Potts, GS15, Technical Director, Systems Technology Office, Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) SESSION PRESENTERS: Mr. Bryan Clark, Senior Fellow, Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments (CSBA) Winning the Decision Battle: Using Autonomy and Recomposable Forces to Fully Exploit Electromagnetic Warfare Mr. Colin Lee, Computer Scientist, NAWCWD, Machine Intelligence and Learning Initiative (MILI) Learning Features for Radar Emitter Identification using Time-Dependent Convolutional Networks Mr. Marty Mosier, General Manager, CRFS Inc.
