The document discusses the need for automated tools to help analysts process the massive amounts of video and other data being collected for surveillance and intelligence purposes. It describes a solution called CIDS that can automatically search across different data types like video, text, images and more. CIDS uses machine learning to detect objects, activities and patterns in order to help analysts find critical information more quickly and link together related data from multiple sources. The system is designed to be scalable, easy to use and deployable at the tactical edge.

2. “ Between 2001 and 2015 we will see a 70,000% increase in the areas under surveillance—all captured in motion video intelligence—yielding Yottabytes of video data.” - The Economist, 27 Feb 2010 NGA is currently storing over 20 million minutes of motion imagery

3. The Need Cognika Provides “Automated” PED Now! "The Army's ability to collect information far outpaces its ability to use the information collected" --‐ Lt Gen Richard P. Zahner "We don't have enough time to discover data anymore. Especially when we are putting wide-area surveillance into country rapidly right now. We have to increase discover ability. We have to allow that analyst sitting on the ground looking at this massive amount of data, he or she does not have time to sift through all this stuff." --‐ Gen. Koziol "Today an analyst sits there and stares at Death TV for hours on end trying to find the single target or see something move or see something do something that makes it a valid target. It is just a waste of manpower. It is inefficient." --‐ Gen. Cartwright "Analysts spend 80% of their time researching, and only 20% of their time actually thinking about what that research means. Analysts need more time thinking and less time sifting" --‐ Gen. Vincent Stewart "We're not going to manpower our way out of this, we desperately need more automated tools." --‐ Maj Gen James Poss “ Not Enough Eyeballs, Not Enough Pipes, Not Enough Disks”
