Google is partnering with the United States Department of Defense [...] to identify objects in drone footage. [...] The project is called "Project Maven," also known as the "Algorithmic Warfare Cross-Functional Team (AWCFT)." The project started in April of last year with a mission to “accelerate DoD’s integration of big data and machine learning.”

A DoD press release on Project Maven says the project aims to help deal with the "millions of hours of video" the military collects. [...] initial focus was to detect "38 classes of objects that represent the kinds of things the department needs to detect, especially in the fight against the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria." Gizmodo claims it now provides the military with "the ability to track individuals as they come and go from different locations."
