The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has embarked on a project for the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) it calls the "LogX program" that aims to develop and demonstrate software for real-time logistics and supply-chain system situational awareness (diagnosis), future state prediction (prognosis), and resilience at unprecedented scale and speed.).

Officials from the U.S. Department of Defense’s (DOD) Joint Artificial Intelligence Center (JAIC) and Singapore’s Defence Science and Technology Agency (DSTA) got together for a a multi-day technology exchange to promote collaboration efforts involving artificial intelligence (AI), focusing on humanitarian assistance/disaster relief (HA/DR) applications. The meeting happened just prior to the Singapore Defence Technology Summit.

The Department of Defense (DoD) often relies on complex software systems. The rapid pace of software innovation, requirements, and system security, however, requires continual updating. The Intent-Defined Adaptive Software (IDAS) aims to shift system costs and developer focus from maintenance to design and development.

Unmanned vehicles are ideal for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) missions due to the amount of data a vehicle can gather without the risk to human life. As they are increasingly being used to gather large amounts of different types of data, the need for data storage versatility and data security rises. However, the risk of data loss or corruption grows as the number of systems using different protocols connecting to the device rises. Additionally, as the use of unmanned vehicles for deployed applications increases, so does the risk of highly sensitive data being lost or captured in hostile territory. Through disk partitioning and commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) data-at-rest (DAR) encryption, this paper proposes a solution that reduces risk of data loss, corruption, and accessibility if intercepted.
