据C4ISRNET网4月6日报道

美国防部国防情报局（DIA）在研的“机器辅助分析快速存储数据库系统”（MARS）完成了第二个里程碑标志性成果，在3月31日发布了第二个最小化可行性产品，作为初始作战能力采办的内容，该产品将基于外军对手军队部署的地理方位及其配属装备，推理判断出该部队的层级与兵力结构。第一个最小化可行性产品于2020年发布，重点是基础设施，未来，该系统将逐步递增能力。MARS是针对外军情报收集处理的一种云数据管理系统，可以连接不同情报渠道并从海量信息中提取数据，利用云计算和机器学习能力进行自动分析。DIA局长斯科特·贝瑞中将在4月5日称，MARS以实例说明，美军在搜集分析外军对手一切可能的军事情报上，无所不用其极，目的是为军事规划者、实施者和决策者提供支撑。MARS已成为国防部与国家情报总监确定的主要采办计划。

Defense Intelligence Agency continues progress on MARS database

The Machine-Assisted Analytic Rapid-Repository System (MARS) is being designed to ingest the massive amount of data collected by the intelligence community.

The Defense Intelligence Agency completed another milestone in the development of its new cloud-based data management system, successfully releasing its second minimum viable product recently.

The Machine-Assisted Analytic Rapid-Repository System (MARS) is being designed to ingest the massive amount of data collected by the intelligence community, using cloud processing and machine learning to analyze it. As the agency charged with informing war fighters and policymakers on the military capabilities of foreign nations, DIA wants MARS to make connections between different pieces of intelligence that aren’t being made today.

“MARS is another example of how DIA relentlessly pursues every means to gather and analyze all possible information on foreign militaries in support of our military planners, operators and policymakers,” DIA Director Lt. Gen. Scott Berrier said in an April 5 statement.

DIA announced MARS released its second minimum viable product on March 31 for initial order-of-battle capability, which “depicts foreign military unit hierarchy in the context of units’ geographic location, along with the equipment assigned to them.” MARS released its first minimum viable product — focused on infrastructure — in 2020. DIA said future MARS releases will continue the development of incremental capabilities.

Last year marked a number of mileposts for the program, which is meant to replace two-decades-old Modern Integrated Database. In August,  DIA awarded Northrop Grumman $690 million for the Transforming All-Source Analysis with Location-Based Object Services (TALOS) contract, which will help the agency build systems for big data. MARS is part of the contract, with Northrop Grumman serving as the program’s enterprise modular integrator. Also in 2020, MARS completed its rapid prototyping phase, and the Pentagon and Director of National Intelligence designated it as a major acquisition program.
