Industry Day for Basic Information Awareness Operations (BIAO)

The Department of War (DoW), Strategic Capabilities Office (SCO) is hosting an Industry Day for Project Basic Information Awareness Operations (BIAO). The project aims to create an enterprise technology stack to detect and counter adversary cognitive domain operations, mis/dis/mal information, and coordinated information operations (IO). The SCO is seeking industry partners with capabilities in areas such as IO detection, information generation, modeling and simulation of the information environment, and integration of toolsets into a single technology stack and user interface. • IO Detection: deepfake / generated data detection, social media monitoring tools, and coordinated inauthentic behavior detection and characterization • Information Generation: tools tailored to develop robust content for accurate information messaging across media platforms • Modeling and Simulation of the Information Environment: population models, quantitative measures of effectiveness, and model validation and verification approaches • Digital and physical measures of effectiveness for information operations • Integration of toolsets into a single technology stack and user interface • Evaluation of toolsets for benchmarking, comparing, and relevance to the latest technology advancements
