"The goal is to create a complete and efficient AI and ML development and delivery operational pipeline (AI/MLOps) with supporting services for sensor programs within PEO IEW&S while managing cost, schedule, risk and performance," according to a request for information.
What is Project Linchpin?
Project Linchpin is the Army's first program of record aimed at developing a trusted artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) pipeline. Its primary goal is to create a comprehensive and efficient AI/MLOps operational pipeline for sensor programs within the Program Executive Office for Intelligence, Electronic Warfare, and Sensors (PEO IEW&S), while effectively managing cost, schedule, risk, and performance.
What is an AI Bill of Materials (BOM)?
The AI Bill of Materials (BOM) is a critical component of Project Linchpin that will include details about the components used to build and validate AI models, including training data and data lineage. It aims to secure the AI supply chain and will consist of at least three components, including a software BOM (S-BOM) to ensure transparency and integrity in the AI development process.
How can industry contribute to Project Linchpin?
Industry partners are invited to provide feedback on their approaches to training AI models, the necessary skillsets and team structures, and the costs associated with delivering trained models. The Army has set a deadline of December 1 for industry responses to their requests for information, which will help shape the development of the AI/ML operational environment.
