Marine Mammals and the Navy: A Deep Dive into Data
/about-us/research/case-studies/a-deep-dive-into-data
Navy impacts on whales and marine mammals are the subject of more than 20 CNA research projects, examining correlations between sonar activity and strandings.
of agent-based modeling at CNA," Andrew Ilachinski, to develop more sophisticated models of ship-whale interactions. Those models of search helped inform a study that examined, among other questions ... sufficient for spotting whales and dolphins, while one boat could never cover enough water, and two boats might or might not, depending upon the size of the charge and other variables. Ilachinski and Filadelfo are just beginning to explore the possibilities of a new multi-agent model Ilachinski has dubbed "Whale Sim." By mimicking the decisions taken by animals individually and within pods
AI and Autonomy Opportunities and Challenges
/analyses/2017/ai-and-autonomy-opportunities-and-challenges
The military is on the cusp of a major technological revolution, in which warfare is conducted by unmanned and increasingly autonomous weapon systems. This exploratory study considers the state-of-the-art of artificial intelligence (AI), machine- learning, and robot technologies, and their potential future military implications for autonomous (and semi-autonomous) weapon systems. Although no one can predict how AI will evolve or how it will affect the development of military autonomous systems, we can anticipate many of the conceptual, technical, and operational challenges that DOD will face as it increasingly turns to AI-based technologies. We identified four key gaps facing DOD as the military evolves toward an “autonomy era”: (1) a mismatch of timescales between the pace of commercial innovation and DOD’s acquisition process; (2) an underappreciation of the fundamental unpredictability of autonomous systems; (3) a lack of a universally agreed upon conceptual framework for autonomy; and (4) a disconnect between the design of autonomous systems and CONOPS development. We examine these gaps, provide a roadmap of opportunities and challenges, and identify areas of future studies.

AI Robots and Swarms
/analyses/2017/ai-robots-and-swarms
The military is on the cusp of a major technological revolution, in which warfare is conducted by unmanned and increasingly autonomous weapon systems. However, unlike the last “sea change,” during the Cold War, when advanced technologies were developed primarily by the Department of Defense (DoD), the key technology enablers today are being developed mostly in the commercial world. This study looks at the state-of-the-art of AI, machine-learning, and robot technologies, and their potential future military implications for autonomous (and semi-autonomous) weapon systems. While no one can predict how AI will evolve or predict its impact on the development of military autonomous systems, it is possible to anticipate many of the conceptual, technical, and operational challenges that DoD will face as it increasingly turns to AI-based technologies. This study examines key issues, identifies analysis gaps, and provides a roadmap of opportunities and challenges. It concludes with a list of recommended future studies.

Leveraging AI to Mitigate Civilian Harm
/analyses/2022/02/leveraging-ai-to-mitigate-civilian-harm
We have found that AI can be used to help address patterns of harm and thus reduce the likelihood of harm. We discuss some areas of focus militaries could prioritize in order to reduce risks to civilians.
