NAWCTSD Tabletop Exchange: Accelerating the Acquisition Process with AI/ML

August 1st, 9:00 AM EDT

 

NAWCTSD seeks to accelerate the acquisition process of Modeling, Simulation, and Training technologies by leveraging Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning-based capabilities within government pre-award processes.  A tabletop exchange discussion will be conducted with technical experts from industry and academia to obtain input on feasible Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) tools that may help accelerate pre-award activities. Speed to contract is the goal.  

 

Leveraging AI-based tools may help alleviate many of the manpower-intensive tasks within various pre-contract award processes such as documentation and analysis tasks that currently require human validation and verification. Possible activity examples include automation of initial entry criteria on technical evaluations, automated research, and comparison of Independent government cost estimates, or automated/assisted translation of mission requirements into performance requirements.

 

The outcome of this exchange will be used by NAWCTSD to inform possible future initiatives for development and implementation of some of the potential applications.  

 

This is an in-person only event that will take place in the Central Florida Tech Grove located at 12809 Science Drive, Room 160, Orlando, FL.

I/ITSEC NBT AI Showcase 

Deadline to Apply: July 26th, 11:59 PM EDT

The recent proliferation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has created new possibilities for training data analysis, assessment, and adaptive learning. Combined with advances in cognitive science, AI enables sophisticated intelligent tutoring, the generation of tailored training content, and improved fidelity in training support agents. These capabilities form critical pillars for adaptive and personalized learning that can improve the ability of organizations to meet training requirements and develop technologies and strategies for using limited time and resources to meet the specific needs of individual military personnel and varying team structures.

We invite government, academic, and industry labs to participate in this technology showcase. We are looking for military relevant demonstrations that link adaptive learning functions and services across distributed, immersive, and live training and education contexts.

A program committee will be set up with members from the I/ITSEC Next Big Thing Committee. The committee will select proposals based upon relevance to the Exploratory Team’s goals and expected interest to the I/ITSEC community. Commercial products are eligible, but sales and marketing activities are not appropriate.

To be considered for participation, complete the form below by 11:59 PM EDT of Friday, 26th July 2024. If you have questions, please contact this year’s Showcase Chairs: Benjamin Goldberg (benjamin.s.goldberg.civ@army.mil) and Diana Teel (diana.c.teel.civ@us.navy.mil)
