The Navy is taking proactive steps to adopt and implement data science, machine learning, and artificial intelligence into its programs and systems. Within the PEO C4I, PMW 160 Tactical Networks Program Office Program Manager, Captain Katy Boehme, is not only looking at how these advanced analytics can help her organization perform faster, more efficiently, and with more agility – but she is also embracing organizational change by implementing tailored agile constructs across the PMW and advanced engineering capabilities, such as MBSE. This will help her organization “lead from the front” in support of the warfighter.

PMW 160, the Tactical Networks program office, plays a pivotal role in developing, producing, and deploying the LAN and WAN infrastructures that empower Navy leadership and its Warfighters to make data-driven decisions. During this month’s Tech Talk Charlie Suggs (former PEO C4I Technical Director) will interview CAPT Katy Boehme and discuss her efforts to champion these critical capabilities in PMW 160. Hear first-hand about how PMW 160 is “leading from the front” – by encouraging learning and development through initiatives, such as data science week, and championing DevSecOps &amp; agile training. Discover how one program office wanted to foster a work environment to improve decision making and did so by adopting organizational changes – changes that provide the workforce with the tools that support intuitive visualization techniques and machine learning. In essence, CAPT Boehme is enabling the continual evolution into an algorithm-driven program management office (Algo-PMO).

The goals of NAML are:

* To spread awareness of current machine learning research relevant to Naval applications
* To connect machine learning researchers with experts in military requirements
* To build and strengthen collaborations within the defense research community

#### *"What we do as a Navy is a human business. Don’t pass up an opportunity to come together as a team. Don’t pass up leadership opportunities, and don’t outsource them to a PowerPoint. If you have an opportunity to come together as a team, to increase belonging, do it."*
Admiral John M. Richardson, 31st Chief of Naval Operations

NAML 2026

The 10th Annual Workshop on Naval Applications of Machine Learning (NAML 2026) was held in San Diego, California, March 2-5, 2026. NAML is a forum for interdisciplinary experts from government, industry, and academia to discuss results of ongoing research on theory and applications of machine learning to address some of the most challenging problems faced by our naval forces.

Disinfection and cleaning routines have always been apart of standard operating procedure in commercial scopes and within the armed services. All organizations have stepped up oversight and frequency in these areas as part of continuous improvement and for the safety of all in the workplace. These new health-conscious normalcies are here to stay, but need improvement to fit within the rapidly evolving and complicated environments we all work in. This means improvements in methods and technology that delivers a safer, cleaner environment for all with a less complicated and labor-intensive procedure.

Business and Force Support – Bringing technical excellence to bear for the Warfighter

As Admiral Stavridis has said, “Humans striving to be tireless are no longer enough” and artificial intelligence (AI) offers transformational capabilities in unmanned/robotic systems and decision aids designed to augment, improve and speed human decision-making. Navy industry partners see AI as an evolving technology that will progressively integrate into more ship systems, command and control, and weapons over time as processing speeds increase and new algorithms increase their reliability. Dataiku, the global leader AI Business Exploration and Augmented Data Science, believes this will be a watershed year for AI adoption across the Navy.

Why 2023 will be the year of largescale Artificial Intelligence adoption?

Enjoy watching April Tech Talk as we are rebroadcasted our “Best of AFCEA San Diego Tech Talks” a special encore presentation of an interview last year with Mr. Jim Rodman, Chairman and Founder of XSITE by Ms. Jara Tripiano, Director of Systems Engineering and Integration at NIWC-PAC discussing the importance of DevSecOps, Model Based Systems Engineering, and Modeling & Simulation in the digital space.

A Special Encore Presentation! Tech Talk: Jara Tripiano and Jim Rodman

Please enjoy watching May Tech Talk with our guest speakers Ms. Jen Arnold, Professional Visualization Executive, OMNIVERSE | METAVERSE | Digital Twins & AI Industries and Mr. Tim Woodward, Sr. Solutions Architect | Federal Pro Viz | Real-time Graphics | Metaverse | AI/ML/DL at NVIDIA discussing the importance of modern digital future of Universal Scene Description (USD) in Teams.

As a core contributor to open source across many applications such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, and robotics, NVIDIA is investing in the future of Universal Scene Description (USD) along with its ecosystem of partners. This will help USD evolve to make the ecosystem more powerful and ensure the metaverse won’t be built by one organization or company.

The modern, digital future is here. Our DoD and Navy must have industry partners and access to innovation today to protect our Nation. NVIDIA plays a critical role in the digital transformation. To accelerate USD’s evolution to be performant for use cases beyond visual effects (VFX), NVIDIA continues to test the limits of the USD ecosystem through industrial, robotics, and AI applications. Professional Visualization Executive and Sr. Solutions Architect for NVIDIA took us through the Metaverse and shared how they are contributing to the AI and Digital Twin industries through innovative solutions, such as NVIDIA’s Omniverse.

Tech Talk August 2023 with Justin Wilkins 

Applying DOD Security Principles to Generative AI

“Don't believe everything you read on the internet" is a common saying, and yet in low stakes situations we've come to trust a quick web search or even an interaction with ChatGPT. It knows so much about the world! Using generative AI for mission critical knowledge retrieval has an all new set of challenges. In this talk you'll learn concepts and considerations for AI in the terminology DOD Information security.

We'll cover:

What is a Large Language Model?
How private is a private LLM?
Security concerns of Training vs. Prompting
Fighting Hallucinations
Poisoned LLMs and continuous validation

Tech Talk in September 2023 with Eddie Storm

This presentation addresses three primary methods for geolocating RF signals, including Time Difference of Arrival (TDoA), Power of Arrival (PoA), and Angle of Arrival (AoA). It describes how each technique works, illustrates the unique advantages and disadvantages of each method, and identifies which techniques are best for different types of signals. It also examines new methodologies, including synthetic bearings for airborne targets, and how to understand the elevation of targets over vast areas.
