Universal Naval Artificial Intelligence (AI) CORe eNvironment (UNACORN) Maritime Domain Awareness Cloud and Data Integration

This tasks the contractor to support the integration of the UNACORN Data Engineering pipeline, which uses open source data engineering software that will be composed into automated workflows to enable the ability to develop and integrate new and emerging technologies. These technologies will be used to extract, process, analyze, transform, secure, and preserve Naval information in the form of structured, unstructured, and streaming data sets into cloud environments. The contractor will support the identification of the critical data sets for execution of Maritime Operations Center (MOC) workflows and support the acquisition of these data sets to be processed through in the UNACORN Artificial Intelligence (AI) Pipeline. The contractor shall support the development of the appropriate architectures to deploy the UNACORN Naval data as well as the appropriate AI/Machine Learning (ML) algorithms and applications for use in accomplishing the MOC workflows that leverage fluid environments of cloud compute and storage, hardware, and cloud edge devices and be transferrable between these environments. The contractor shall have extensive knowledge in Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA) systems and applications used in the Naval Intelligence and battlespace awareness production cycle such as DCGS-N and DCGS-AF/IC, Fusion Analysis Development Effort (FADE), SmartSystems, and Surveillance, Persistent Observation, and Target Recognition Geo-Spatial Intelligence (SPOTR-GEO). This tasks the contractor to support the architecture and integration of the UNACORN data engineering pipeline, AI/ML algorithms, models, and applications in order to build the MOC and afloat MDA, Command and Control (C2), intelligence production cycle, and Integrated Fires (IF) orchestration functionalities capability.
