ARLINGTON, Va. \u2013<\/strong> U.S. military researchers needed new ways of assessing the vulnerabilities of military artificial intelligence (AI) to enemy cyber attack. They found a solution from The BAE Systems Electronic Systems segment in Merrimack, N.H.<\/p>\n

Officials of the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) in Arlington, Va., announced a $3.9 million contract to BAE Systems earlier this month for the Securing Artificial Intelligence for Battlefield Effective Robustness (SABER) project.<\/p>\n

Today there are no ways to assesses deployed military AI-enabled systems for their vulnerabilities to cyber attack, DARPA officials warn; the security risks of AI-enabled battlefield systems remain unknown.<\/p>\n

Assessing battlefield AI<\/h3>\n

To rectify this, BAE Systems engineers will develop counter-AI techniques, tools, and technical competency to assess AI-enabled battlefield systems.<\/p>\n

AI technology has reached a level of maturity sufficient to integrate the technology into U.S. military systems, and could give battlefield advantage by helping improve the speed, quality, and accuracy of decision-making while enabling machine autonomy and automation.<\/p>\n

Yet AI has been shown a vulnerability to an adversary’s taking control of its data input, which can lead to data poisoning, physically constrained adversarial patches for evasion, and model stealing attacks.<\/p>\n

Potential vulnerabilities<\/h3>\n

For the SABER project, BAE Systems will assess the potential vulnerabilities of AI-enabled autonomous ground and aerial systems that could be deployed within the next one to three years.<\/p>\n

DARPA experts want BAE Systems to develop physical, adversarial AI, cyber security, and electronic warfare (EW) techniques to perform these AI cyber vulnerability assessments. More SABER contracts may be awarded.<\/p>\n
