NAVAIR NEXT GENERATION THREAT SYSTEM

Case Study

Problem:

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.


Solution:

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

  • Build an AI Taskable framework to:
    • 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.

Outcome:

  • 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.
