Description

Portsmouth Naval Shipyard Life Threatening Situations Extended Reality Trainer Demo Day

1:00 pm-4:00 pm EDT * February 27, 2025

 

The Central Florida Tech Grove, in partnership with Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, the Office of Naval Research (ONR), NavalX, and the Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division (NAWCTSD), is executing a prize challenge to identify solutions that provide a thorough and realistic virtual reality training solution for life-threatening situation refresher training.  Naval mechanics are required to meet training criteria for initial qualification and requalification to ensure they can quickly and accurately respond to life-threatening situations encountered onboard ships.  The guidelines and grading criteria for the training are laid out in the Navy’s 6010 training course manual.

Prototypes submitted by all participants will be evaluated by subject matter experts (SMEs) from the supporting DOD entities listed above with backgrounds in training and evaluation.  Rating will be done by technical personnel experienced in conducting PNS training and analysis. Three finalists will be selected based on the evaluation of qualified submissions of prototypes and participation in the Prize Challenge Demo Day. The top performing participant will be awarded $75,000 in prize money with $55,000 and $40,000 awards to the second and third-ranked participants.
