Attachment 02 Epic Statement (AIML Enabled Gridded Reference Graphic (GRG)).docx

This document is an Epic Statement for an AI/ML Enabled Gridded Reference Graphic (GRG) solution targeting Special Operations Forces (SOF) Tactical Operators. The proposed innovation aims to automate the manual process of creating reference graphics by leveraging artificial intelligence and machine learning to detect, identify, confirm, and label buildings within the TAK Suite of Software. Key business outcomes include streamlining mission planning processes and creating a more efficient graphic coordination tool.

The solution has specific non-functional requirements (NFRs) focused on maintainability and usability, including maintaining continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) capabilities for SOCOM, ensuring minimal new user training is required, and implementing a Modular Open Systems Architecture (MOSA) that allows for easy replacement of AI/ML models. This aligns with the United States Special Operations Command's (USSOCOM) broader initiative to enhance collaborative Tactical Assault Kit (TAK) software through innovative commercial solutions that can be demonstrated within an estimated 8-week period using agile development practices.
