The Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California is utilizing artificial intelligence to solve operational challenges and educate future leaders in AI skills, with support from NVIDIA. The school is receiving a NVIDIA DGX GB300 system and NVIDIA Mission Control software to support over 1,500 students, 600 faculty, and external partners.

MITRE has shared its Advanced Simulation for Planning and Enhanced Navigation (ASPEN) simulation framework with NPS, developed on the NVIDIA Omniverse platform. ASPEN provides a digital twin environment for simulating unmanned underwater vehicle navigation, obstacle avoidance, and decision-making under uncertain conditions.

NPS is using the NVIDIA DGX GB300 system to accelerate weather and environmental modeling, crucial for effective naval planning and readiness. The system allows for simulations using NVIDIA Isaac Sim to understand naval operational environments and enhance training in ASPEN for mission effectiveness and crew safety.

The NVIDIA fVDB framework is being used to build high-fidelity digital twins of various environments, enabling generative physical AI by accelerating 3D machine learning tasks. This technology helps NPS detect anomalies in environments such as the ocean floor, water column, atmosphere, and space to predict potential risks.

AI is integrated into the curricula at NPS, allowing military students to conduct hands-on research and develop real-world applications benefiting the Naval and Joint Force. NVIDIA’s resources, including the Deep Learning Institute and the NVIDIA AI Technology Center at NPS, enhance the institution’s defense-focused graduate education and research initiatives.
