Use of Simulation for AI Training in Underwater Swarm Behavior

This technical report discusses the use of simulation to train artificial intelligence (AI) for swarm-based underwater behavior, focusing on lessons learned from the Talisman Sabre 2025 exercise. The report outlines the need for collaborative unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs) to enhance maritime operations against adversarial capabilities. It details the integration of the Resilient and Autonomous Artificial Intelligence Technology (RAAIT) initiative within the Talisman Sabre 2025 framework, which aims to develop an AI ecosystem for operational success in contested environments. The experimentation involved deploying UUVs to autonomously detect and track enemy underwater vehicles, utilizing advanced simulation techniques and AI-driven behaviors. The report emphasizes the significance of modeling and simulation in reducing the time required to create and deploy effective behaviors in live scenarios. It also highlights the operational concepts and collaborative strategies employed during the exercise, demonstrating the potential of AI and simulation in enhancing military capabilities in underwater warfare.
