The U.S. Navy’s SCOUT Experimentation aims to develop automated and emerging technologies into targeted problem areas among warfighters.
The United States Navy is experimenting with a new program to help mitigate and streamline operational governance among its warfighters, emphasizing the integration of automated and artificial intelligence technologies into its standard processes.
Following an Industry Day on Nov. 22, Navy officials published a special notice soliciting vendors to help conduct research campaigns spearheaded by the Office of Naval Research. The goal of the program, called SCOUT Experimentation, is to dissect operational problems and develop technologies that will both improve warfighters’ capabilities and expedite decision making.
Some of the technologies Navy researchers anticipate as potential solutions include artificial intelligence and automation, machine learning algorithms specifically for target recognition, natural language processors, sensor fusion capabilities and decision-making aides.
SCOUT “is problem-driven with warfighter partnership and teamwork to explore, discover, learn and deliver faster decision points,” Daniel Cabel, ONR’s SCOUT lead, told Nextgov.
