- I will take a stab at a couple of your questions.
-
- Neural nets are used in various military applications. Automatic target
- recognition, or automatic waveform recognition are two obvious uses.
-
- Some uses are purely R&D. Others are in working prototypes, i.e. one-of-a
- kind (or very few) devices that are not in full scale production for one
- reason or another.
-
- I am not aware of any mil standard for neural nets as such. With projects
- I am familiar with, the statement of work specifies what is needed to be
- done and the contractor proceeds to implement the bottom line performance
- desired. This however is in the R&D arena, though again the prototypes
- may be useful.
-
- Hope that helps.
