Topic:

Cognitive EW: Using AI to Solve EW problems

This presentation will introduce a broad overview of how artificial intelligence (AI) can be used in electronic warfare (EW). AI enables EW systems to respond more quickly and effectively to battlefield conditions with complex and novel emitters. I will illustrate where the AI techniques of situation assessment, decision making, and machine learning can function in an EW system. I will describe how to handle real-time in-mission learning, motivate why this capability is crucial, and present ideas on how to implement these capabilities on embedded devices. The presentation is based on the book "Cognitive Electronic Warfare: An Artificial Intelligence Approach."

Biography:

Dr. Karen Haigh is an expert and consultant in Cognitive EW and embedded AI. Her focus is on physical systems with limited communications and limited computation resources that must perform under fast hard-real-time requirements. She recently wrote the book "Cognitive EW: An AI Approach" with Julia Andrusenko. She was a pioneer in three fields now common across the globe: (1) closed-loop planning and machine learning for autonomous robots, (2) smart homes for elder care, and (3) cognitive RF systems. Dr. Haigh is a regular presenter to both academic and military communities around the world, and has created a variety of online content discussing embedded AI for mission-critical systems, supporting rapid real-time in-mission learning, and assuring AI in the field. Her course on Cognitive EW is available through the Association of Old Crows. Dr. Haigh has over 30 years of experience in the aerospace industry, working for Honeywell, BBN Technologies, L3, and Mercury Systems. She received her PhD in from Carnegie Mellon University in Computer Science with a focus on AI and Robotics, and her undergraduate from the University of Ottawa in Honours Computer Science (summa cum laude). She is a Fellow of the AsiaPacific AI Association for contributions to smart homes, and an IEEE Fellow for closed-loop control of embedded systems.
