Army Announces Winners Of Electronic Warfare Challenge

By: Kelsey Atherton 
A platypus, several Australians too a thundering panda walk into an electromagnetic spectrum, too therefore leave of absence amongst $150,000. The upshot is, potentially, a technique too a tool that volition permit soldiers to uncovering what signals inwards a state of war zone are relevant to their mission too what are only noise. The Army Rapid Capabilities Office announced Aug. 27 the winners of the Army Signal Classification Challenge, a contest for artificial tidings too auto learning amongst the destination of creating a thinking auto that tin accurately kind out signals on the fly. Platypus Aerospace, a squad from the federally funded Aerospace Corporation, won the event, taking abode $100,000. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 grouping of information scientists from Commonwealth of Australia competing equally TeamAU won $30,000, too a squad from Motorola Solutions named THUNDERING PANDA placed third, winning $20,000.

These winners shell out a puddle of over 150 teams from universities, industry, laboratories too government. The challenge ran from Apr thirty through Aug. 13.

Participants had a 90-day menstruum to develop a model too prepare on information sets provided yesteryear the Rapid Capabilities Office. After that, the models were tested against 2 information sets ranging inwards complexity.

For the challenge, the Army component said that “the classic yell for detection procedure is no longer efficient inwards agreement the vast sum of information presented to electronic warfare officers on the battlefield” thank y'all to the multiplicity of satellite signals, radar signals, phones too other devices transmitting across the electromagnetic spectrum.

The understated destination is that the winners' creation is needed non exactly for a hypothetical time to come battlefield, or fifty-fifty whatever of the long-running active theaters where soldiers come across fight today. Instead, equally noted inwards the release, “this was the office’s kickoff competitive challenge, which grew from the fielding of electronic warfare prototypes to address operational needs inwards Europe before this year.”

That “operational withdraw inwards Europe” may refer to the electronic warfare taking identify inwards Ukraine, which has operate something of an opened upwards laboratory for both Russia too the United States. Or it mightiness hold out a broader acknowledgement of the potential threat moving painting inwards the portion generally.

In June, the Army conducted an electronic assail inside Latvia equally component of a NATO preparation exercise. The Rapid Capability Office already outfitted the Army amongst several novel electronic warfare tools for countering Russian electronic warfare inwards Europe, too inwards July announced that it was bringing those capabilities abode to champaign amongst a unit of measurement stateside.

Research into a versatile, flexible artificial tidings that tin uncovering electronic warfare specialists the interesting signals amidst the irrelevant dissonance is probable to continue. The Rapid Capabilities Office volition denote a Phase 2 for the programme afterward this year.
