Enabling the Digital Thread - Incorporating the mission throughout engineering disciplines

Shipboard fundamental electricity, powering electronic equipment in a dense electrical environment.

Naval Research and Development Establishment (NR&DE) Cloud

Applying DOD Security Principles to Generative AI

“Don't believe everything you read on the internet" is a common saying, and yet in low stakes situations we've come to trust a quick web search or even an interaction with ChatGPT. It knows so much about the world! Using generative AI for mission critical knowledge retrieval has an all new set of challenges. In this talk you'll learn concepts and considerations for AI in the terminology DOD Information security.

We'll cover:

What is a Large Language Model?
How private is a private LLM?
Security concerns of Training vs. Prompting
Fighting Hallucinations
Poisoned LLMs and continuous validation

Tech Talk in September 2023 with Eddie Storm

This presentation addresses three primary methods for geolocating RF signals, including Time Difference of Arrival (TDoA), Power of Arrival (PoA), and Angle of Arrival (AoA). It describes how each technique works, illustrates the unique advantages and disadvantages of each method, and identifies which techniques are best for different types of signals. It also examines new methodologies, including synthetic bearings for airborne targets, and how to understand the elevation of targets over vast areas.

Geolocating RF Signals

When a Systems Integrator qualifies a large opportunity that requires a technology solution, questions arise:

1) How do we go to market with a software vendor? 
2) What does our offer look like? 
3) Are we meeting customer understanding/expectation? 
4) Do we have the staff to sustain and do we have the experience to implement? 
5) How does it fit into our existing offerings and capabilities? 
6) What is the impact to the total evaluated price? 
7) What is the proper course of action from customer engagement to compelling technology solution?

Tech Talk April 2024

Arganteal’s Adaptive Deployment Tool (ADepT) provides a single platform for deploying any technology. Our versatile tool streamlines and standardizes deployments, supporting full-stack deployments in any scripting language while remaining adaptable to any target or platform.

Manual scripting remains a formidable obstacle to rapid, repeatable deployments. This labor-intensive approach is time-consuming and prone to errors, and while other automation platforms can be effective in their niches, they can hinder collaboration by failing to seamlessly integrate with others. This results in an annual expenditure of over 100 million hours on manual scripting, and a profusion of non-standardized and non-reusable scripts.

* **Lack of Standardization**: Frequent script rewrites prevent consistent automation solutions.
* **Intellectual Property Leakage:** Scripts are not effectively captured by organizations.
* **Time Costs:** The need for manual script editing causes delays and inefficiency.

Arganteal ADepT elevates automation capabilities by integrating legacy tools and scripting
languages into a highly adaptable framework. This not only eliminates the hurdles associated with manual scripting but empowers organizations to streamline and standardize deployment
processes while preserving and leveraging valuable script Intellectual Property (IP).

**‘Golden Copy' Workflows:** Create standardized deployment processes that serve as the gold standard for your organization.
* **IP Reusability:** Make valuable intellectual property reusable across teams and projects.
* **Centralized Interface:** Reduce friction between teams handling large-scale deployments by centralizing scripts in a unified interface.
* **Multi-Language Workflows:** Develop versatile workflows that can automate complex deployments, accommodating various languages and tools.

Tech Talk May 2024

Plug into the event and listen in on how Google AI offers a transformative suite of technologies poised to revolutionize the way the Navy operates and maintains its strategic edge, as the modern naval landscape demands adaptability, rapid decision-making, and superior intelligence in the face of complex threats.

Tech Talk June: Jeff Withington 

**Historical Perspectives on Transitioning Machine Learning Research**

Meet our very special guest, Dr. Katie Rainey, Director of Science and Technology for Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance at Naval Information Warfare Center (NiWC Pacific).

Tech Talk July: Dr. Katie Rainey

The Department of the Navy Information Superiority Vision includes three core efforts to Modernize, Innovate, and Defend. The capstone design concept is defined by the goal to "Securely move information from anywhere to anywhere" with key criteria to field supporting capabilities that are Customer-Focused, Best-value Cost, Dynamic, and Confidence-Inspiring. The top-level supporting objectives are Optimize the DON Information Environment for Cloud, Adopt Enterprise Services, and Implement Zero Trust. The outcomes have improved Customer Experience and Operational Resilience; resulting in Information Superiority that continues to evolve to win the global naval fight.
