Project Name
D4D PACAF Team Project
Project Background
- CHALLENGE: Pacific Air Forces logistics managers need an effective way to conduct cost-benefit analysis for potential logistics solutions in order to execute successful logistics maneuvers across the Indo-Pacific.
- RELEVANT CONTEXT:
- PACAF operates in environments spanning vast spaces with few landmasses and carries out maneuvers such as moving people and materiel across island chains, providing logistics support for sorties, and providing power to rapidly-assembled structures.
- PACAF relies on a concept called Agile Combat Employment (ACE) to provide decentralized logistics solutions that can disperse, recover, and resume operations in contested environments.
- Logistics managers leverage ACE to manage PACAF’s sprawling logistics network, but the concept does not provide tools to analyze the cost-benefit of investing in different solutions.
- Planners would like to determine optimal solutions for managing logistics problems – commercial solutions, designing technologies in-house, “Swiss Army Knife” solutions, etc.
- IMPACT: Developing a solution that will allow logistics managers to evaluate different available solutions, specifically for fuel support and runway repair. The Air Force needs to adapt its equipment and deliverable capabilities to match the ACE doctrine in order to effectively operate in the Pacific.
Project Description
The needs for our project can be broken down into four segments.
- Data Cleaning and Organization: Through the semester, our team has collected datasets from two main sources. The first of which is a “cadillac” list of all available fuel and runway repair materials that the Air Force could deploy to ACE bases in the event of a conflict. It contains information about equipment cost, size, and weight. Our other data set consists of available runway locations and their respective infrastructure, offensive, and defensive capabilities.
Goal: Our team needs help collecting, cleaning, and distilling our data into a usable database (~10% of work, to be completed by the end of March).
- Optimization: The thinking behind ACE is to disperse Air Force capabilities and maintain agility without sacrificing combat capability. The proposed strategy would establish small bases in austere island environments that operate for short time periods. Given these geographical, chronological, and logistical constraints, our goal is to optimize the amount and type of materials from the cadillac list that would be sent to each base. These requirements will change based on the mission and other requirements.
Goal: Develop optimization/cost-benefit analysis tool for analyzing equipment loadouts in changing environments (~50% of work, to be completed early to mid April).
- As our goal is to provide the structure of a usable tool for the Air Force, we would like to design a basic UI for accessing and visualizing this data. Furthermore, our team could use help adding more functionality and visuals to our existing website, although this need is secondary to our main goal of developing the tool.
Goal: Build basic UI for the operation of said tool that can find the optimal equipment output given a set of variables and constraints. Have a minimum viable product for delivery to sponsors. (~30% of work, to be completed by mid to late April).
- We are currently constrained to using unclassified data. Eventually, we would like to incorporate our tool into existing Air Force data and logistics management systems. In the short-run, that means building from a “sandbox” scenario to map out the most effective bases and what materials/equipment should be deployed to each one.
Goal: Conduct several case study scenarios within the tool to work into our strategic proposal report. Eventually collect and build in larger amounts of data (~10% of work, to be completed by late April, with the possibility of extension into summer term).
Project Duration
Through the end of the semester (~7 weeks), but could be slightly longer or shorter depending on needs of the project.
Number of Hours
Our team will need outside support in the range of 10 to 15 hours per week. We are open to dividing this work among multiple students from the CS department.
Technical Skills Required
- Data Cleaning and Organization
- Linear Programming and Optimization
- Predictive Analytics
- Database Management
Other Desired Skills
- Network Integration
- Basic UI Design
- Website Design
Pay Rate
The position will pay $20 per hour.

Project Name
National Security Agency (NSA) D4D Project.
Project Background
NSA researchers need to identify and analyze foreign disinformation campaigns in order to inform cybersecurity priorities.
Project Description
- Detecting foreign misinformation is a large and technically challenging undertaking. Data scientists need to determine if they can even identify the degree of "foreignness" related to online information and then diagnose if the information is false or not. Identifying the source of disinformation can improve U.S. counter-disinformation operations.
- The NSA has launched campaigns to identify disinformation stemming from specific adversarial entities. Now, the NSA needs to determine if open source-driven analysis on platforms leveraged by foreign entities for these disinformation campaigns is possible.
- The NSA is even interested in understanding if open source analysis on platforms used most often by foreign entities for disinformation campaigns is not possible. If it is not possible, the government can proceed with other, more useful counter-disinformation operations.
The D4D student team is looking for technical help that can assist them with coding their potential solutions.
Project Duration
A maximum of 8 weeks (Subject to change.) It may be less than 8 weeks or a little longer].
Number of Hours
The expected amount of time required for this position is approximately 5 – 10 hours per week. The D4D student team also requires that the applicant be able to meet with the team once a week for approximately 1 hour over Zoom. The applicant must possess strong communication skills.
Technical Skills Required

Project Name
US Army Space Missile Defense Command (USASMDC) D4D Project.
Project Background
USASMDC ground station operators need a way to efficiently evaluate anomalies identified in their mesh satellite network in order to better manage and secure it from threats and system failures.
Project Description
- Practical experience with applying Machine learning (Supervised & Unsupervised learning algorithms) to datasets related to any domain (preferably satellite systems data)
- Be able to extract features, suggest and apply models on large datasets and interpret results for a non-technical audience.
- ML Programming experience using R/Python/Matlab

Project Name
D4D SPACECOM Team Project
Project Background
Sponsoring Organization
US Space Command (USSPACECOM)
Challenge
USSPACECOM leaders/decision makers need to be able to accurately determine the intent of others’ actions.
Relevant Context
- Due to the uncertainty of human psychology, determining intent of actions is very difficult.
- Due to the myriad entities involved in the Space Enterprise (e.g., commercial, civil, military), dual use technology, and the great observational distances involved, it is possibly more difficult to determine intent of actions in space than in other domains. It is thus extremely difficult to determine appropriate responses to these actions.
- USSPACECOM is interested in examining how hostile intent has been/is determined for other domains and what systems and/or processes might be incorporated/changed to improve the accuracy and timeliness of determining hostile intent for space operations.
Project Description
The project you would be working on is a data aggregation system that pulls satellite positioning data (Radar, TLE sets, etc.) from disparate public databases and deposits them into an SAP HANA database. These various data sources would be polled regularly and queue work to HANA compute clusters which will handle various processing/data fusion tasks.
Built on top of this system would be various analytics systems designed to detect significant changes in data/ suspicious satellite behavior.
