Ahora, la Oficina Principal de Datos e Inteligencia Artificial (CDAO) est\u00e1 lanzando una nueva serie de ejercicios m\u00e1s espec\u00edficos llamados GIDE X que tienen como objetivo abordar los problemas de integraci\u00f3n que pueden impedir que los operadores aprovechen las capacidades que surgen de un evento GIDE m\u00e1s grande, seg\u00fan Lindsey Sheppard, director del Acelerador de Comando y Control Avanzado de la oficina.<\/p>\n
The Pentagon\u2019s Chief Data and AI Office has launched a new series of experiments focused on improving data integration to allow operators to take better advantage of new command-and-control capabilities.<\/p>\n
The office runs a regular experimentation event every 90 days called the\u00a0Global Information Dominance Experiment<\/a>, or GIDE, which is focused on taking capabilities designed to connect forces across domains and test them in an operational context. The events have been credited for helping the Defense Department turn a long-abstract concept called\u00a0Combined Joint All-Domain Command and Control<\/a>\u00a0into capabilities the military is now using in the field.<\/p>\n Now, the Chief Data and AI Office, or CDAO, is spinning off a new string of more focused exercises called GIDE X that aim to tackle the integration issues that can keep operators from leveraging the capabilities that come from a larger GIDE event, according to Lindsey Sheppard, director of the office\u2019s Advanced Command and Control Accelerator.<\/p>\n Sheppard said that while larger GIDEs function more as operational test demonstrations, the smaller events explore how the team can get after more discrete technical or systems integration issues that need to be resolved before conducting the larger experiments.<\/p>\n That could involve integrating a sensor\u2019s data feeds or creating a path to pull readiness data from a platform, she said during a Hudson Institute event Monday in Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n \u201cIf I kind of map out those smaller integrations that have to occur between the larger GIDE, I can then use the GIDE to really focus on, \u2018How do I get the leave-behind capability for the users,\u2019\u201d Sheppard said.<\/p>\n When CDAO started running GIDE exercises a few years ago, she said, it was \u201ca big surprise\u201d to the Defense Department, which has traditionally focused on delivering complex new systems that take years to develop, rather than providing regular capability updates on shorter timelines.<\/p>\n Now, operators get a batch of system improvements\u00a0after every 90-day GIDE<\/a>. They also are involved in the process for testing the updates on the same live networks they use on a regular basis \u2014 a factor that Sheppard said is key to sending out capability that works in the field.<\/p>\n \u201cBy operating on live networks, on live data, we ensure that capability will stay behind with the users,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
