NOT A CASTLE IN THE SKY


PEO C3T’s pathfinder project will pave the way for future AI enablers.

We also know there are known unknowns. Tat is to say, we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns, the ones we don’t know we don’t know.” Te best way to reduce the risk of “unknowns unknowns” is by exploring the domain in a purposeful way. You’re sure to encoun- ter both the expected and the unexpected, and along the way, leave in place a path for others to follow. It’s only by facing those unknowns head-on and finding a path through them that you can make your vision a reality and not just a castle in the sky.


As the materiel developer for the tactical network and the mission command and fires control applications that run on the network, the Program Executive Office for Command, Control and Communications – Tactical (PEO C3T) has a particular niche to scratch when it comes to artificial intelli- gence (AI). For example, most out-of-the-box AI solutions assume seamless connectivity between data input, data analysis and model output to point of use. In a tactical environment, we must compensate for denied, degraded, intermittent or limited
