How AI Accelerates Unstructured Data Analysis & Empowers Defense Organizations

CAHIR Blog Post | Linda McQ

 

AI technologies rely on data, algorithms, computing power, and networking activities to maintain military readiness. AI can extract insights from unstructured ISR data in the form of photos, text, and full-motion video data to support rapid field decisions by enabling analysts to categorize, search, sort, and filter their data.

 

 

Some of the key services provided by AI include:

 

1. Classification: AI can analyze and classify unstructured data streams in near real-time using concepts that are understandable by humans. Classification algorithms can be used to classify an image, video, text, and audio data. Analysts simply enter the data type they want into a classification algorithm, and AI categorizes the data based on predefined criteria.

 

2. Object detection: AI is similar to classification in that it can recognize any visually distinct object in images and videos.

 

3. Object tracking: When using video data items, AI can follow certain objects over time.

 

4. Reverse image search: Images can now be used as search inputs thanks to AI. Analysts can search for images using visual similarity rather than keywords.

 

5. Sentiment analysis: AI can instantly provide high-level summaries of text passages and analyze sentiment across multiple languages.

 

6. Data preparation: AI learns from data, and it can even help with the pre-processing of the data from which it learns. AI-powered tools are essential for cleaning, labeling, and organizing data, which is then used to train models to achieve specific mission objectives.

 

7. Enhanced military readiness: By leveraging data, algorithms, computing power, and networking capabilities, AI technologies contribute to maintaining and improving military preparedness.

 

8. Efficient data management: AI-powered tools enable analysts to effectively categorize, search, sort, and filter large volumes of unstructured data, streamlining the analysis process.

 

By accelerating the processing and analysis of unstructured data, AI empowers military and intelligence personnel within defense agencies and ISR systems to make more informed decisions quickly, ultimately enhancing operational effectiveness and strategic planning.
