DETECTING DECEPTION IN THE WILDERNESS: A PROPOSAL OF WARFARE INTEGRATED LIE DETECTION SYSTEM (WILDS)

Currently, the Marine Corps and the Department of Defense do not leverage human-machine team pairing during the collection of human intelligence. Consequently, they may miss or not exploit key information gained from human sources during times of both peace and war. This research aims to examine the viability of leveraging human-machine team pairing during intelligence gathering operations with particular focus on detecting human deception. It provides an in-depth overview of the current unclassified practices used to detect deception, evaluates the viability of incorporating emerging technologies, and proposes an operator function model and employment model for a human-machine team pair to improve deception detection performance during enemy prisoners of war interviews.Captain, United States Marine CorpsApproved for public release.
