Cognitive EW: Assuring In-Mission Learning for EW
Machine Learning (ML) can be relatively easy, if you have a server farm and humans in the loop. How do you make it happen when you have an isolated machine in arduous conditions?
This presentation will discuss the challenges for assuring the performance of a system that can learn from novel experiences in the field. Electronic Warfare (EW) systems operate at a timescale that means they cannot afford to learn post-mission, or with human supervision. EW systems must learn from a single observation, using self-supervised reinforcement feedback. The validation infrastructure must therefore support automated closed-loop, multi-resolution testing, and ways to test the effectiveness of actions. We must validate the learning process, rather than validating the learned model.
