Our Customer strives to reduce their burden by replacing manual methods with technology enabled automated processes. So, as our customer becomes an even more "source rich" entity, the key to retaining the intelligence and operational advantage for the US and its allies is to leverage Machine/Deep Learning (ML/DL) and Computer Vision (CV) in the analytic environment. The entity who most effectively and quickly converts data into actionable intelligence has the advantage. The SAFFIRE effort enables our customer to define and establish workflows and methodologies which fully leverage investments already made in Activity Based Intelligence (ABI) and Structured Object Management (SOM) to maximize the analytic impact of applying CV for Automation, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Augmentation (AAA).
