Description

Arete proposes “Cormorant”, an Artifical Intelligence (AI)-enabled algorithm and software suite to fingerprint objects in a cluttered radio frequency (RF) data stream. Cormorant will use an adaptable and extensible algorithm framework with the ability to detect a wide range of relevant airborne and sea based threat signals directly from RF data streams. At the successful completion of Phase I, Areté will deliver an initial algorithm feasibility assessment, proof of principal risk reduction testing, preliminary system architecture and concept of operations, documenting outstanding technology risks and challenges. This will lead directly to a Phase II which will develop prototype Cormorant software and demonstrate on publicly available data streams. Approved for Public Release | 22-MDA-11215 (27 Jul 22)
