Abstract
Commanders must remain agile and adaptive in the future Artificial Intelligence (AI)-enabled multi-domain battlespace, where critical decisions are made at the tactical edge. Over-reliance on static, cloud-centric approaches to Machine Learning Operations (MLOps) compromises such agility and adaptability. These systems must operate in a dynamic threat environment, and learn to detect novel threats during operation. They must be able to perform this learning through the execution of tactical MLOps under austere and degraded conditions, especially limited wireless network bandwidth. In response to these requirements, this paper describes Hawk, a system that leverages edge proximity for rapid and iterative execution of the Observe stage of the Observe-Orient-Decide-Act loop. Central to this architecture is the use of tactical cloudlets. These mini data centers provide cloud-like computing resources without the communication latency to exascale data centers. Hawk enables a human to guide MLOps at low cognitive load, thus enabling an operational objective to be achieved at speed and scale while remaining usable and explainable.
