Description

The Strategic Capabilities Office of OSD is seeking to use machine learning to produce a robust classification capability using ISAR for a relevant radar sensor system. Areté Associates proposes an advanced machine learning approach to perform robust classification with a path towards real-time classification performance. The proposed approach employs a robust method to generate a valid, balanced and proper training set for the classification network processor. The method uses deep learning with a flexible infrastructure to update target database, resolve salient features and directly addresses weaknesses of many machine learning applications.
