How might we apply Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML) to automate the Tasking, Collection, Processing, Exploitation, and Dissemination (TCPED) cycle, turning data into predictive insights that help Space Delta 7 outpace adversaries and enable Joint leaders to act with confidence?
Tasking, Collection, Processing, Exploitation, and Dissemination (TCPED) describe the phases of the execution of an intelligence requirement. The Space Delta 7 (DEL 7) architecture was built to execute the production line with each squadron focused on a specialization in the process. Today, the requirement is primarily manually acted upon, with some automation inserted along the TCPED production line.
DEL 7 requires an Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning (AI/ML) Orchestrator to automate the activities throughout the enterprise from tasking the appropriate collection entities to providing customers with the final reports. The Orchestrator will apply AI/ML, in concert with operator’s and analyst’s expertise and tradecraft, transform data into predictive insights, informing decision-making through modeling, simulation, and visualization. Further application of AI/ML and Tradecraft will enable tipping and queuing internally to DEL 7 and other organizations and agencies.
This will enable Joint leaders to anticipate responses and enable future decisions and actions with a higher degree of confidence. By transitioning to a “man on the loop” approach, we will accelerate decision cycles and close the kill chain/web more effectively.
