Summary points:
- The Air Force launches a $99 million ATA-AI project to advance next-generation target tracking using AI, machine learning and high-performance computing.
- The work includes advanced algorithms including 3D pixels and point cloud processing, electromagnetic signature analysis, and disaster response applications.
- Several contracts are expected by 2029, with individual awards ranging from $1 million to $10 million. White papers will be paid annually until 2028.
Rome, New York – US Air Force researchers are urging the industry to develop technologies for next-generation target tracking that utilize high-performance computing, many data sources, and leverage artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and machine inference algorithms.
Officials from the Air Force Institute Research Institute Intelligence Bureau, Rome, New York, issued the Solicitation of Advanced Tracking Architecture Using the AI (ATA-AI) Project (FA875024S7004). Companies are responding until November 2028.
The Air Force is looking for the industry for algorithms that include 3D pixels, vectors, and point cloud processing and acceleration. Use AI and machine learning to identify targets and learn about electromagnetic signature patterns. Process navigation and positioning data. Use mobile phones and personal fit devices to help first responders find victims in disaster areas.
The project will run until 2029, with a total of approximately $99 million. Many four-year contacts are worth between $1 million and $10 million each.
Please tell me more about how artificial intelligence can help you track automatic targets…
- Artificial Intelligence (AI) can enhance automated target tracking by improving speed, accuracy, adaptability and resilience in complex, dynamic environments. AI works with improved target detection and recognition. Multi-sensor data fusion; predictive tracking and motion estimation. Adaptability in complex environments. Reduce operator workloads. Counter counters and fraudulent notifications.
