BIAO will create an enterprise technology stack to detect and counter adversary cognitive domain operations, mis/dis/mal information, and coordinated information operations (IO).

DoW seeks industry partners with capabilities in the following areas:

• IO Detection: to include deepfake / generated data detection, social media monitoring tools, and coordinated inauthentic behavior detection and characterization;
• Information Generation: to include tools tailored to develop robust content for accurate information messaging across media platforms;
• Modeling and Simulation of the Information Environment: to include population models, quantitative measures of effectiveness, and model validation and verification approaches;
• Digital and physical measures of effectiveness for information operations;
• Integration of toolsets of this type into a single technology stack and user interface; and,
• Evaluation of toolsets of this type for benchmarking, comparing, and relevance to the latest technology advancements.

The intent of this Industry Day is to provide further information on program specifics and how to engage with SCO moving forward.
