Data is revolutionizing the way we do business. It should be no different for the military.
In 2018, then-Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis articulated the need for the armed forces to “pursue urgent change at significant scale.” We are “emerging from a period of strategic atrophy,” he wrote in the National Defense Strategy, and he identified readiness as a priority for the military to achieve its objectives in the face of heightened geopolitical competition and technological advancement.

Silicon Valley should fight its stigma against military work
Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM) has long been the dominant paradigm for realizing the full life span of any major piece of equipment, system, or other assets — even our bodies. We rely on metrics-based schedules to conduct routine checks, clean components, make repairs, and replace parts. But with recent advances in machine learning and artificial intelligence — the technologies at the core of the Sparta Science System — we can move toward a whole new, more efficient paradigm that is individualized to the asset in question and how it is being used.
Artificial intelligence (AI) has many different military applications — from cybersecurity to combat training. It provides the ability to intake, process, categorize, and derive insights from copious amounts of data in short amounts of time. This has significant uses for everything from identifying a T-90 main battle tank in a satellite image, identifying high-value targets in a crowd using facial recognition, translating text for open-source intelligence, and generating text for use in information operations.
Advancements in machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) have allowed the military to adapt and make more cost-effective decisions. While the military has embraced the use of these technologies with machines, there remains untapped potential when it comes to the military’s most important weapon — the warfighter.
Political debate at work was not encouraged when I was training to be a doctor at the LAC+USC Medical Center in the early 2000s.
On the 13th-floor jail ward, we had a professional duty to care for drunk drivers and thieves just like any other patient and leave any opinions about criminal justice policy for their appropriate venues.
