The University of Adelaide is partnering with DEWC Services on how machine learning and artificial intelligence can be used to support the Australian Defense Force.
Under this partnership, DEWC Services will leverage the company's defense industry insights and relationships to support doctoral candidates undertaking research to identify how networks can support military applications. .
Based in South Australia, DEWC Services is a veteran-owned specialist services company specializing in the defense sector. The company provides advisory services, capacity development, project management, system upgrades, and operational support.
The PhD candidate is expected to develop the first prototype to utilize machine learning techniques to analyze networks, with support from the University of Adelaide's School of Computer and Mathematical Sciences.
DEWC Services Director of Science and Technology Tim McKay welcomed the opportunity to support burgeoning AI technologies in support of the Australian Defense Force. “We are pleased to support the professional development of one of our own cyber experts while driving research that will ultimately lead to new technologies that strengthen Australia’s defense capabilities and posture.” Stated.
McKay explained that machine learning will become increasingly important in defense applications, allowing the military to process large amounts of complex data, recognize patterns, and provide information to support decision-making.
“This project combines machine learning models to analyze network traffic using a variety of techniques, including operating model fingerprinting, communication protocol classification, and natural language processing models to help infer network intent. “We will consider it,” McKay continued.
This four-year research project is funded as part of the Defense Pioneer Industry Research Programme.
“Defense Trailblazer is proud to be a leader in workforce, innovation and culture,” said Heather Nichol, General Manager of Workforce, Innovation and Culture at Defense Trailblazer. and the offerings of the master. The scholarships are specifically designed to address current and future defense needs and include real-world projects. ”
“Industry mentorship, on-site internships, and academic mentoring are just a few of the ways this program enables supportive research activities and in-depth technical knowledge and understanding of defense-based applications, particularly for STEM fields. Deepen it.”
