The patent was registered by First Principles, Inc. who according to reports, has Nancy Salzman as the president. Here's a website for a company of the same name: https://www.firstprinciples.biz/about.htm

First Principles Incorporated was founded in July 2004 by Lee Venturino. We are excited about the opportunity to serve our customers with senior systems engineering, test engineering and analysis support. Please contact us for more information to see how we can help your organization.

First Principles Incorporated has combined an eclectic mix of unique talent that can be found nowhere else in the Department of Defense. Our experience spans individually over 25 years and collectively over 100+. We have helped design and test unique air vehicles, cruise missiles, defense systems, surveillance platforms, missile seekers, other vehicles and systems such as jammers, measurement systems and supportable low observables.

There's no connection with NXIVM, right? Asking for a friend.

This Is The Most Important Technology On the F-35

Cognitive EW, today in its infancy, may one day help justify the Joint Strike Fighter’s enormous cost.

Patrick Tucker is technology editor for Defense One. He’s also the author of The Naked Future: What Happens in a World That Anticipates Your Every Move? (Current, 2014). Previously, Tucker was deputy editor for The Futurist for nine years. Tucker has written about emerging technology in Slate, The ... Full Bio

While the specifics of the jet’s electronic warfare, or EW, package remain opaque, scientists, program watchers and military leaders close to the program say it will be key to the jet’s evolution and its survival against the future’s most advanced airplane-killing technology. In short, cognitive EW is the most important feature on the world’s most sophisticated warplane. “There are small elements of cognitive EW right now on the F-35, but what we are really looking toward is the future,” Lee Venturino, president and CEO of First Principles, a company that is analyzing the F-35 for the Pentagon, said at a recent Association of Old Crows event in Washington, D.C.“Think of it as a stair-stepper approach. The first step is probably along the ESM [electronic support measures] side. How do I just identify the signals I’ve never seen before?” To understand what cognitive warfare is, you have to know what it isn’t. EW makes use of the invisible waves of energy that propagate through free space from the movement of electrons, the electromagnetic spectrum. Conventional radar systems generally use fixed waveforms, making them easy to spot, learn about, and develop tactics against. But newer digitally programmable radars can generate never-before-seen waveforms, making them harder to defeat.....

Applying the Brain Algorithm to EW Warfare

There could be no cognitive electromagnetic warfare without cognitive radar, a concept fathered by electronics researcher Simon Haykin in his prescient 2006 paper “Cognitive Radar: A Way Of the Future.”

..... But machine learning algorithms can’t learn without data, lots of it. While Facebook can access records from a billion-plus users, getting data from adversaries about the unique waveforms that they’re experimenting with is a more challenging task. The military can’t just ask China to opt-in to an information-sharing agreement.

.....If the United States, Russia, or China were ever stumble into a hot war, the F-35 and air defense systems like the Nebo-M would likely face off against one another. It’s yet more indication that EW, like cyber, is emerging as the next great arms race. But unlike previous arms competitions, adversary EW is advancing far faster than U.S. military acquisition programs can keep up. That explains, in part, why the Pentagon is interested in cognitive systems that can adapt and evolve on their own.

“Right now, we know that these machines are going to be able, through learning machines … to figure out how to take care of that waveform in the mission while it’s happening,” Work said at CNAS. The subject of his talk was the Third Offset Strategy, the Pentagon’s $13 billion moonshot program to re-secure its technological advantage. The fact that cognitive EW made its way into the speech says a lot about its importance to the Pentagon’s plans.

A cached pdf document mentioning both Keith Raniere and Simon Haykin but makes no sense to me : Odin Sphinx Keith Raniere https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:Kb4wl3ciy2IJ:https://ptest.adac-nrh.de/odin-sphinx-keith-raniere.pdf+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=ch

Apparently Raniere authored a book called Odin & the Sphinx https://www.abebooks.com/products/isbn/9780979873201?cm_sp=rec--vhr_1--plp&reftag=vhr_1

Also The Sphinx & Thelxiepeia by Keith Raniere and Ivy Nevares, HiS Holiness The Dalai Lama (Foreword) https://www.abebooks.com/servlet/SearchResults?an=keith%20raniere&cm_sp=det--plp--author

Cognitive Dynamic Systems: Perception-action Cycle, Radar and Radio By Simon Haykin

The new sciences of complexity (whose birth was assited by the Santa Fe Institute)...

See Jeffrey Epstein's charity "Gratitude America, Ltd." :::

Speaking of 'evolutionary dynamics' that reminds me of a technology-based post I still have to do which ties in Epstein and the Santa Fe Institute and the algorithms they are using to track, monitor and 'nudge' populations through the social media platforms... Gaarrrrr... not enough time for everything...

See: What about...Santa Fe? Epstein territory. Can anyone dig further?

........ Geoffrey West, Ph.D, was named to Time magazine's "100 Most Influential People in the World" in 2007, with his work selected as a “breakthrough idea” by Harvard Business Review in 2006. He is a theoretical physicist and Distinguished Professor and former President of the Santa Fe Institute, with primary interests in fundamental questions ranging from elemental particles to universal scaling laws in biology, while developing a quantitative science of cities, companies and global sustainability.....

The first link is not working.

Thank you.

Gaarr... I seem to be doing that a lot lately. Thanks for checking - again. It's fixed now.
