01 / Customer Challenge

The challenge our customer brought us.

The Navy’s Next-Generation Threat System requires the integration and evaluation of AI models to improve the capability of simulated AI “attackers” to better train pilots in simulation scenarios.

02 / Knexus Approach

What we designed and delivered.

Build an AI Taskable Framework to integrate AI learning to continuously improve AI, in Navy training simulations.

Record: Log the performance of AI in simulations with appropriate critical indicators to enable effective AI reasoning.
Reason: Understand underlying AI reasoning in battle scenarios.
Evaluate: Score the quality of the decisions made.
Design the AI Taskable framework to have plug-and-play components that allow users to easily create scenarios.
03 / Mission Impact

The difference it made.

NGTS scenarios better train pilots to learn how to beat a scenario rather than beating a behavior graph.
AI “attackers” utilize the AI Taskable framework to make more complex and unpredictable decisions in simulated scenarios without the restraints of a preestablished behavior graph.
AI attackers are also more complex due to their ability to continuously learn from past simulations and continuously present a challenge for users.
