The winners of the Artificial Intelligence (AI) Advanced Naval Technology Exercise (ANTX) Fiscal Year 2024 Challenge were recognized at a ceremony held at Naval Information Warfare Systems Command (NAVWAR) headquarters in San Diego, Oct. 29.

With a cash prize of $150,000 split between the first and second-place winners, the challenge sought innovative, data-driven, AI-enabled technologies to provide the warfighter with the ability to use unstructured language as means to gather information and more seamlessly interface with decision support systems.

The AI ANTX Prize Challenge was held in support of Project Overmatch, a high-priority Department of Navy initiative aimed at connected platforms, weapons and sensors together in a robust Naval Operational Architecture (NOA) that integrates with Joint All-Domain Command and Control for enhanced Distributed Maritime Operations. Critical to Project Overmatch is the development of networks, infrastructure, data architecture, tools and analytics that support the operational and developmental environment that will enable sustained maritime dominance for years to come.
