Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division (NAWCTSD)

Acquisition Process Improvement Using Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML)

PRIZE CHALLENGE Information Session

3:00 pm-4:30 pm EDT * September 11, 2024

FULL INFORMATION ABOUT THE CHALLENGE CAN BE FOUND HERE.

The Central Florida Tech Grove, in partnership with the Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division (NAWCTSD) is executing a prize challenge to identify solutions that accelerate the acquisition process of Modeling, Simulation, and Training technologies by leveraging Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning-based capabilities within government pre-award processes. The specific objective of this challenge is to identify feasible Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) solutions that may help accelerate the technical evaluation of a proposal for a sole source solicitation and result in faster and consistent quality of proposal evaluations.

Join us to learn more about the Challenge from NAWCTSD personnel. This is your opportunity to ask questions and gain information to help determine if you want to register to participate in the Challenge.

Proposed solutions submitted by qualified, registered participants will be evaluated by subject matter experts (SMEs) from the Navy with backgrounds in acquisition, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and engineering. Up to 10 semi-finalists will be selected to participate in a Demo Day on November 18.

Three finalists will be selected from the Demo Day and will present in the final round at I/ITSEC 2024 on Tuesday, December 3, in the Central Florida Tech Grove booth. On December 4, the winners will be announced at the Navy booth at I/ITSEC. The first-place submission will be awarded $50,000 in prize money with $30,000 and $20,000 awards to the second and third-place participants.

Central Florida Tech Grove

The Central Florida Tech Grove is a hub for accelerating collaboration and innovation in defense modeling, simulation, training, and human performance. Tech Grove is located in the Central Florida Research Park in Orlando, Florida which is the epicenter of the nation's largest cluster of government, industry, academic, and industry organizations developing and delivering training and simulation products for our nation's military. Tech Grove was established in 2020 through a Partnership Intermediary Agreement (PIA) between the Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division (NAWCTSD) and the University of Central Florida Research Foundation. Ten other Department of Defense entities are Tech Grove members with NAWCTSD: US Army Program Executive Office for Simulation Training and Instrumentation (PEO STRI), US Air Force Agency for Modeling & Simulation (AFAMS), US Marine Corps Program Manager for Training Systems (PM TRASYS), US Army Simulation & Training Technology Center (STTC), US Army Futures Command Synthetic Training Environment Cross-Functional Team (STE CFT), Defense Health Agency (DHA), U.S. Space Force Space Training and Readiness Command (STARCOM), Strategic Environmental Research and Development (SERDP), Army Modeling Simulation Office (AMSO), and the Office of Naval Research through the NavalX Central Florida Tech Bridge.
