Generative AI Wargaming Promises to Accelerate Mission Analysis
A team at APL is creating an artificial intelligence-driven capability that automates much of the work that goes into designing, setting up, developing and running wargames. The effort holds promise to dramatically amplify the impact and value of wargames and similar exercises for the military and other government agencies.
Game-Changing Impact
We solve complex research, engineering, and analytical problems that present critical challenges to our nation.
By combining creativity and technical expertise with a culture of risk-taking, we tackle increasingly difficult challenges with impacts across multiple domains.
Steven Storck Chief Scientist, Additive ManufacturingA unique aspect of working at APL is the ability to leverage technology from seemingly unrelated areas. For example, we can take knowledge we apply to missile defense鈥攔esponding to measurement inputs very quickly and making adjustments even faster鈥攁nd apply it to additive manufacturing.
