The service is also currently developing a risk management framework for Project Linchpin, the Army’s first program of record to help build out a trusted artificial intelligence/machine learning pipeline, according to Jen Swanson, deputy assistant secretary of the Army for data, engineering and software.
Artificial intelligence and machine learning tools and technologies are most effective when they’re built on clean, organized and reliable data. That’s why the U.S. Army is focusing heavily on building a data mesh as its AI/ML projects and programs mature. Jennifer Swanson, deputy assistant secretary of the Army for data, engineering and software, spoke on this and other topics during the ExecutiveBiz Digital Twins Forum on Wednesday.
Through digital engineering, the Army wants to move from manual processes to an all-digital environment, so much so that deputy assistant secretary of the Army for data, engineering and software Jennifer Swanson told Breaking Defense she hopes Army projects would be "born digital" within a few years.
A new “innovation exchange” is being stood up at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Md., for industry vendors to test solutions for the Army’s yet-to-be-released Unified Data Reference Architecture.
