The DHS Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction Office (CWMD) uses AI in its day-to-day activities to prevent attacks against the United States using weapons of mass destruction through timely, responsive support to operational partners.
Below is an overview of each AI use case within CWMD, as part of the Simplified DHS AI Use Case Inventory. More details about these use cases are available in the Full DHS AI Use Case Inventory on the DHS AI Use Case Inventory publication library.
AI use cases are listed below by deployment status.
Pre-Deployment
Use Case Name: Report Analysis and Archive Systems (RAAS)
Use Case ID: (DHS-406)
Use Case Summary: RAAS is an information management system for the retention and dissemination of test reports, test data, and evaluations of Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) detection equipment. RAAS simplifies the ability for human analysts to search for documents and phrases using natural language. RAAS is being developed to assist users of the Test and Evaluation document archive in locating documents and portions of document that are relevant to their needs. Users can specify individual queries as natural language questions and receive detailed answers. The system also facilitates the attainment of related or more precise information through follow-up questions. RAAS is funded by CWMD Test & Evaluation (T&E) and is developed and maintained by Argonne National Lab (ANL).
Intermediate outputs will include context summaries to facilitate indexing of document passages. Output to the user will include summarization of content relevant to the questions and interests indicated by the conversation with the user.
