Challenges
Competition structure
3
OFFICIAL
Allowing rapid and automated integration of new sensors
Challenge
1
OFFICIAL
What we are interested in:
• integration of raw data sensors
• integration of intelligent information sources
• processing
• fusion
• autonomous sensor management
Challenge
1
OFFICIAL
What we are not interested in:
• mechanisms to enable non-cooperative access
to collection assets
• solutions where the number of sensors is limited
• distributed architectures
Challenge
1
OFFICIAL
Free up personnel by the innovative use of machine learning algorithms and artificial intelligence for military advantage
Challenge
2
OFFICIAL
What we are interested in:
• automated activity classification
• cognitive computing
• combined human machine derived models
• predictive analytics
Challenge
2
OFFICIAL
What we are not interested in:
• machine-learning solutions which are highly
optimised for input training data, leading to
problems associated with over-fitting and
failure when environmental parameters
change
Challenge
2
OFFICIAL
Make effective use of operator cognitive capacity, particularly by human-machine teaming
Challenge
3
OFFICIAL
What we are interested in:
• memory
• reasoning
• teaming – relevant roles
• teaming – individual and team interaction
Challenge
3
OFFICIAL
What we are not interested in solutions that:
• replace the human or which require no
human involvement
• are overly complex, require substantial
training
• force people into unnatural ways of
operating or behaving
Challenge
3
OFFICIAL
What we are not interested in solutions that:
• don’t include integration with other proposed
solutions delivering information and
processing capability
• use static information visualisation solutions
