The Department of Defense’s Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office, or CDAO, has released a commercial solutions opening seeking technologies designed to enable and maintain computer vision capabilities for U.S. Central Command.
The CENTCOM Desert Sentry solicitation is looking for commercial platforms capable of ingesting data from local or cloud data storage, preparing videos and images for labeling, ingesting existing labeled data sets and conducting single- and multi-class object detection and instance segmentation for imagery and video, according to a notice posted on DOD’s Tradewinds AI platform.
CDAO also requires that the selected commercial technologies support functions such as automated label augmentation, automated model training and scoring, labeling and model containerization.
Responses to the CSO are due June 30. CDAO anticipates selecting participants for the pitch round from Aug. 5 to 16 and making pilot project awards from Sept. 16 to Oct. 4.
