Description
By combining modern ML statistical processing frameworks and with scalable secure communications DCTER provides a foundation for heterogenous sensor reasoning while leveraging advances in edge AI. This open source-driven processing foundation and standards based communication enables DTRA to leverage the rapidly evolving commercial edge AI/ML advancements while avoiding vendor lock-in (i.e., consistent with Modular Open Systems Architecture) and proprietary communications schemes only found on particular vendor hardware. Instead DCTER users can rapidly incorporate new ML models, fine-tune them on edge processors, and switch communications based on available technology that is evolving to include drone and vehicle links.
