El nuevo equipo del Ej\u00e9rcito de EE.UU. dise\u00f1ado para permitir que el servicio vea profundamente en un espacio de batalla trabajar\u00e1 inicialmente para crear una arquitectura de sensores, as\u00ed como para procesar y difundir la enorme cantidad de datos recopilados por esos sensores. El Ej\u00e9rcito no puede seguir formando analistas humanos para mantenerse al d\u00eda con la cantidad de datos. Deciden aplicar la inteligencia artificial y el aprendizaje autom\u00e1tico, no para reemplazar a los humanos, pero si toman mil fotograf\u00edas que podr\u00edan ser un tanque, podr\u00edan reducirlas a 10 o 100 para que luego las personas puedan discernir.<\/p>\n
HUNTSVILLE, Ala. \u2014 The U.S. Army\u2019s\u00a0new team<\/a>\u00a0designed to allow the service to see deeply into a battlespace will initially work toward creating an architecture of sensors as well as processing and disseminating the enormous amount of data collected from those sensors, according to Army Futures Command leader Gen. James Rainey.<\/p>\n The All-Domain Sensing Cross-Functional Team will grow out of the Assured Positioning, Navigation and Timing\/Space CFT, taking its current staff and director, Michael Monteleone, and expanding the mission to focus on broad deep-sensing capabilities.<\/p>\n The APNT\/Space CFT has \u201csolved the very hard problem and that is transitioning to [program managers] and [program executive offices] now, so that created some headspace,\u201d Rainey said March 26 at the Association of the U.S. Army\u2019s Global Force Symposium.<\/p>\n Monteleone and four to five newly created billets will be added in Washington, D.C., because \u201cthat is kind of the center of gravity of all-domain sensing,\u201d Rainey said. However, the majority of the team will remain in Huntsville, Alabama, where APNT\/Space CFT was based.<\/p>\n The All-Domain Sensing CFT is expected to reach initial operational capability within six months, Rainey added.<\/p>\n While many details aren\u2019t yet finalized, Rainey said the team will \u201cwork on the sensing architecture inside the Army and inside the joint force.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWe have found ourselves in a situation where we actually don\u2019t have a sensing problem, we have a \u2018doing something\u2019 with all the sensing that is happening problem across the joint force,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n Another area of focus includes processing and disseminating data coming off of a large proliferation of different sensors in order to rapidly make sense of the battlefield, which in turn helps leaders quickly make operational decisions, Rainey said.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Army cannot continue to build human analysts to keep up with the amount of data. We have to bring [artificial intelligence] and machine learning to bear,\u201d he added. \u201cNot to replace humans, but how do we take a thousand pictures that might be a tank and get it down to 10 or 100 that then our humans can discern?\u201d<\/p>\n Rainey noted that industry can help.<\/p>\n Deep sensing will also improve reconnaissance and surveillance as well as long-range fires targeting.<\/p>\n Platforms could also include things like\u00a0high-altitude<\/a>, fixed-wing, solar-powered platforms, other unmanned aircraft or\u00a0crewed spy planes\u00a0<\/a>with more\u00a0capable sensors<\/a>. The Army is experimenting with all of these capabilities.<\/p>\n The service is currently reviewing capabilities like high-altitude balloons to determine where they might reside within formations and how units might use them at places like the National Training Center at Fort Irwin, California. For example, the Army is experimenting with high-altitude balloons at the service\u2019s major experimentation capstone event Project Convergence this month.<\/p>\n The Army will continue to review and evolve cross-functional teams as it continues to modernize and take programs from development into fielded systems.<\/p>\n Army Futures Command, which was established more than five years ago to tackle the service\u2019s toughest modernization challenges, set up cross-functional teams to focus on different capabilities the service needs to fight in a multidomain environment against high-end threats and advanced adversaries.<\/p>\n The original teams focused on long-range precision fires; next-generation combat vehicles; future vertical lift; the network; positioning, navigation and timing; air and missile defense; soldier lethality; and the Synthetic Training Environment. The idea was to convene a whole range of Army officials, from training and doctrine writers to sustainment experts to acquisition officers to system operators, to ensure the success of a program.<\/p>\n
