Big Data Solutions on Tactical Infrastructure

In this paper, we discuss the need for explainable artificial intelligence (AI) in defense systems. Further, we elaborate on the need for Big Data solutions to support AI on tactical infrastructure, and discuss an architectural approach to address this need. Finally, we present our proof of concept implementation of this architecture, instantiated to support the human concepts of fast and slow thinking. The proof of concept was built using free and open source software to allow the solution to be shared, and our approach to be repeatable for others.
