Research abstract

STARBOARD (Semantic Transformations and AI-powered Reasoning for Battle-ready Ontologies, Architectures in Relevant Domains) is an AI-powered solution designed to automate Domain-Specific Model (DSM) and ontology generation for the Navyís Integrated Combat System (ICS). By leveraging natural language processing (NLP), large language models (LLMs), and AI-driven data extraction, among the Colvin Run Curated Intelligence toolkit , STARBOARD transforms unstructured technical documentation into machine-readable formats, enabling seamless sensor, weapon, and communication system interoperability.ÝThis innovation addresses a critical challenge in naval combat system integrationóthe time-intensive, manual effort required to reconcile disparate data models. STARBOARD eliminates these inefficiencies by automating data normalization, significantly reducing integration timelines, software rework, and operational delays. Designed for scalability and secure deployment, STARBOARD ensures real-time adaptability, AI/ML compatibility, and long-term sustainment within evolving naval architectures.ÝAs the DOD expands its investment in AI-driven automation, STARBOARD aligns with key defense modernization efforts, enhancing mission readiness and operational effectiveness. With a focus on trusted AI, cybersecurity, and seamless deployment, STARBOARD is positioned as a high-impact technology for future fleet operations.
