“Enabling machines to detect patterns and make determinations from complex sensor data is critical to achieving the goals of JADC2.”

According to the company, the software provided by Labelbox will process raw images, videos and text to ensure that the mission-critical AI applications are production-ready and reliable.

The USAF’s JADC2 effort aims to provide a cloud-like environment to allow the joint forces to share data across various networks and supply rapid decision-making capabilities.

The joint forces require the ability to quickly field battle-ready AI/ML applications to achieve this mission, and Labelbox’s software will provide the necessary workflows.

Sharma added: “We are excited to contribute Labelbox’s best-of-breed capabilities in support of our national security and defence.”

Earlier this year, the US Air Force Life Cycle Management Centre (AFLCMC) awarded a contract to SciTec to support the country’s JADC2 effort.
