Welcome to the Lockheed Artificial Intelligence Center
The Lockheed Artificial Intelligence Center (AI Center) has over 45
professionals performing research, producing applications, and
providing training in AI-based technology. Although it serves as a
center for AI research and development for the entire Lockheed
Corporation and its subsidiaries, the AI Center is part of the
Research and Development Division of Lockheed Missiles & Space
Company, Inc. (LMSC), and is located in Palo Alto, California. The AI
Center works on both internally and externally funded projects and
collaborates on large-scale projects with institutions such as Stanford
University, NASA Ames Research Center, and the Information Sciences
Institute, as well as various organizations within the Lockheed
Corporation.
The AI Center's work currently emphasizes three themes:
- Computational Work Environments
- Workplaces consisting of people and computational tools
interoperating in terms of shared knowledge about hardware and software
artifacts
- Data Comprehension
- Interactive tools aiding analysis and discovery in massive
amounts of data, based on deductive databases, learning,
visualization, and parallel computation technology. This effort
has resulted in the
Recon system.
- Autonomy
- Integrated systems for physical and computational reasoning
environments where human presence is infeasible or undesirable.
The following projects are under way at the AI Center:
- SHADE
- SHADE is working to define and prototype technology for agent-based
collaborative engineering.
- KCD
- The Knowledge-Centered Design project is working on intelligent
design and engineering systems.
- SBD
- The Simulation Based Design project is developing open, scalable
architectures to support concurrent engineering.
- DICE
- Dice is implementing multimedia technology for collaborative engineering.
- ACaPS
- The Agile Cable Production Service (ACaPS) is Lockheed's
experimental foray into internet commerce, providing an on-line agile cable
manufacturing service.
- COSMOS
- The COSMOS project involves development of a engineering CASE tool to
aid in transfer of data from application to application.
- Integrated Weapons System DataBase(IWSDB) Phase 6
- The goal of this project is to develop information access and
dissemination aids for F-22 design engineers.
- Joint Task Force Advanced Technology Demonstration (JTF/ATD)
- The AI Center is working to develop joint planning and decision aids
for the Air Force. This project
is pushing the CORBA distributed objects specification to its
outer limits.
