Solutions
From MilcordWiki
- Milcord has developed knowledge powered solution templates for semantic wiki for complex operations, decision models for alternative courses of action, data marts for strategic and tactical human terrain data sets, mobile decision aid apps, botnet threat intelligence and insider threat detection.
Social Behavior Solutions
While conventional warfare is about destroying the enemy’s military capabilities, complex operations require a focus on the human dimensions of conflict. It is simply not possible to win the hearts and minds of the local population without an understanding of the human terrain. Understanding the complexities of the local environment and adopting a geospatial analytical reasoning approach to monitor and analyze these population dynamics aids in the development and management of a campaign focusing on a mix of non-lethal and lethal activities. In multiple social science research projects, we have developed human, social, culture and behavior models from reference, historical, current and doctrine knowledge for use in decision aids, forecasting, risk assessment and training.
Knowledge Management Solutions
Knowledge management is a set of practices employed by organizations to generate value from what employees, partners and customers know, and share that information within the organization and its partners in an effort to develop best practices, generate new knowledge, and increase productivity. Knowledge management processes facilitate a collaborative partnership to capture, develop, organize and disseminate knowledge. Organization involves defining, categorizing, indexing, and linking knowledge objects. Ontologies serve as the explicit specification of shared domain objects and their relationships that are essential in interpreting the accumulated content. We are pioneering the use of semantic knowledge representation and reasoning, and machine learning technologies to solve knowledge management challenges.
Cyber Security Solutions
Cyber security is the protection of digital information by preventing, detecting, and responding to attacks. We are researching and developing solutions for emerging cyber threats. Adversary use of fast-flux botnets and dynamic DNS gives attackers an asymmetric advantage and complicates trace-back and attribution. We are building a semantic knowledge base and monitoring infrastructure to detect and classify advanced persistent threats exploiting the relationships among the DNS and IP namespace entities shared by the adversary.
Geospatial Intelligence Solutions
Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT) is the exploitation and analysis of imagery and geospatial information to describe, assess, and visually depict physical features and geographically referenced activities on the Earth. The GEOINT discipline encompasses all activities involved in the planning, collection, processing, analysis, exploitation, and dissemination of spatial information in order to gain intelligence about the national security or operational environment, visually depict this knowledge, and fuse the acquired knowledge with other information through analysis and visualization processes. Geospatial Intelligence is at the core of our work at Milcord.
