Research abstract

Modern Intelligence has developed CUTLASS, a modular, all-sensor, all-platform maritime surveillance AI that classifies, tracks, and predicts objects of interest, their movement and activities over space and time, maintaining custody over distinct sensors and platforms. CUTLASS utilizes state of the art multimodal machine learning models to combine near-simultaneous data streams of separate modalities into a single multichannel tensor. What this means to our Air Force end users is any data stream that features sensors operating in separate spectrums from an ISR asset are combined into a single “image” CUTLASS uses to understand, classify, and track targets. Electro-optical, Full Motion Video, and infrared sensors provide valuable information on their own, but combined, our models are able to pull out more information on the targets than either sensor is on its own. Because CUTLASS is a pure AI model that is platform and sensor agnostic, the capability is deployable anywhere within the ISR environment, on premise, in the cloud, or at the edge, delivering a solution to the Air Force’s global persistent awareness challenges.
