FORT HUACHUCA, Ariz. — Under the leadership of the Data Science Directorate’s director, Col. Michael Landin, the U.S. Army Network Enterprise Technology Command launched its new analytics environment, called Edge, on Oct. 16, 2024. Edge is the first government-owned artificial intelligence and machine-learning data science development platform to integrate state-of-the-art, open-source tools on the Department of Defense Information Network – Army, or DODIN-A.
The decision to implement Edge is inspired by rapid advances in AI capabilities, which continue to expand the potential use of cyber enterprise data. From emerging AI tools like large language models and deep-learning neural networks to classical machine-learning approaches such as K-means clustering and random forests, the use of cutting-edge data science techniques is enhancing decision-making, learning, and awareness across industry, academia, and defense.
