SAN DIEGO — Naval Information Warfare Center (NIWC) Pacific’s Naval Artificial Intelligence Unity Training and Challenge team, which uses the anagram NAUTICA, recently released its beta challenge environment as part of its artificial intelligence (AI) workforce development project for U.S. DoD civilians, contractors, and uniformed personnel.
The NAUTICA project, funded through the Naval Innovative Science and Engineering (NISE) program, aligns with the DoD AI Education Strategy to improve AI capability within the DoD, and includes two parts: training — recorded lectures, slides, tutorial source code — and a first-person shooter challenge. Both are hosted through the Naval Leveraging Innovations, Frameworks and Technologies portal, though the unclassified and non-sensitive challenge environment code is also available to the public via another site.
The final NAUTICA challenge tournament begins Sept. 21, 2021.
Potential or existing NAUTICA challengers, and those interested in AI training, may reach out to Richmond Yen, NAUTICA principal investigator, at richmond.yen@niwc.navy.mil.
DoD affiliated members may go to https://portal.lift.mhpcc.hpc.mil/liftaccounts/logins/signup to register for a Naval LIFT account using a common access card as well as Yen’s name and email for the point of contact. Once registered, DoD users may access the training and challenge environment via https://wiki.lift.mhpcc.hpc.mil/confluence/display/NAUTICA/NAUTICA.
Members of the public may access unclassified and non-sensitive NAUTICA content for the challenge by visiting https://github.com/niwcpac-nautica/nautica-challenge-public.
