The company will develop AI algorithms using Iceye\u2019s synthetic aperture radar imagery. SAR satellites generate high-resolution images regardless of weather conditions or time of day,&nbsp;<\/p><p>The technology will support Finland\u2019s F-35 tactical aviation program by delivering space-based intelligence and analytics. Lockheed Martin, which manufactures the F-35 fighter jet, has also developed ATR algorithms using <a href=\"https:\/\/spacenews.com\/maxar-inks-agreement-with-lockheed-martin-to-supply-imagery-for-f-35-training-simulators\/\">Maxar\u2019s electro-optical<\/a> satellite imagery.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p><p>The Finnish military will integrate the ATR algorithms into mobile intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) systems, said Jonathon Brant, Lockheed Martin fellow for artificial intelligence.\u00a0<\/p><p>Speaking at a Lockheed Martin news conference, Brant added that the next evolution of ATR will involve multi-modal data fusion, allowing intelligence analysts to cross-reference and verify targets using both radar and optical imagery.<\/p><p>Brant said the goal is to expedite decision making by providing actionable intelligence in near real-time.\u00a0\u201cOperators need to increase their speed to decision, and this means delivering information faster,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/p><p>Lockheed Martin\u2019s work with ATR systems highlights the emerging cybersecurity challenges of AI, Brant noted. Image recognition algorithms are susceptible to cyber attacks, particularly adversarial machine learning, he explained. This tactic involves manipulating AI models through deceptive inputs that appear normal to human observers but mislead the system.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p><p>Lockheed Martin is working with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to develop standards for measuring and certifying AI system resilience, Brant said. Even minute alterations in imagery \u2014 such as a single misplaced pixel \u2014 could potentially compromise image recognition models.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The collaboration focuses on automated target recognition (ATR) technologies that leverage AI and radar satellite imagery to identify and classify objects<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10999,"featured_media":506634,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"newspack_ads_suppress_ads":false,"newspack_popups_has_disabled_popups":false,"newspack_sponsor_sponsorship_scope":"","newspack_sponsor_native_byline_display":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_native_category_display":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_underwriter_style":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_underwriter_placement":"inherit","_EventAllDay":false,"_EventTimezone":"","_EventStartDate":"","_EventEndDate":"","_EventStartDateUTC":"","_EventEndDateUTC":"","_EventShowMap":false,"_EventShowMapLink":false,"_EventURL":"","_EventCost":"","_EventCostDescription":"","_EventCurrencySymbol":"","_EventCurrencyCode":"","_EventCurrencyPosition":"","_EventDateTimeSeparator":"","_EventTimeRangeSeparator":"","_EventOrganizerID":[],"_EventVenueID":[],"_OrganizerEmail":"","_OrganizerPhone":"","_OrganizerWebsite":"","_VenueAddress":"","_VenueCity":"","_VenueCountry":"","_VenueProvince":"","_VenueState":"","_VenueZip":"","_VenuePhone":"","_VenueURL":"","_VenueStateProvince":"","_VenueLat":"","_VenueLng":"","_VenueShowMap":false,"_VenueShowMapLink":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"mc4wp_mailchimp_campaign":[],"newspack_featured_image_position":"","newspack_post_subtitle":"The collaboration focuses on automated target recognition (ATR) technologies that leverage AI and radar satellite imagery to identify and classify objects","newspack_article_summary_title":"Overview:","newspack_article_summary":"","newspack_hide_updated_date":false,"newspack_show_updated_date":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5680,4148,4149,4161],"tags":[2215,792,12234],"newspack_spnsrs_tax":[],"coauthors":[2242],"class_list":["post-509192","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ai","category-commercial-archive","category-militaryspace-archive","category-news-archive","tag-iceye","tag-lockheed-martin","tag-synthetic-aperature-radar","entry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v20.6 (Yoast SEO v23.9) -
