SHARK BAIT - Shared Historical Anti-Submarine-Warfare Reachback Knowledge Built on Artificial Intelligence Technology

THOR Solutions, in partnership with Colvin Run Networks Inc., is spearheading a critical initiative titled SHARK BAIT – CE (Shared Reachback Knowledge Build on Artificial Intelligence Technology for Chaos Engineering). This project enhances the Navy’s Integrated Combat System (ICS), focusing on bolstering the resilience of computing infrastructures against escalating threats that undermine mission-critical capabilities.Originating from a successful Phase I feasibility study of an AI/ML suite designed for military software applications, SHARK BAIT – CE progresses these developments into Phase II with enhanced user-centered design and innovative Chaos Engineering tools. Chaos Engineering is a methodical approach that employs controlled environments to test system robustness by introducing chaos variables—simulated disruptions—to assess and improve system response and adaptability.Phase II prototypes will be developed in the context of the PEO IWS Forge Software Factory ecosystem, employing a strategic implementation that includes comprehensive stakeholder engagement, iterative testing, and strict alignment with Navy protocols. The aim is a smooth transition to Phase III, where THOR Solutions, alongside Colvin Run Networks, will oversee the development, integration, maintenance, and training for the SHARK BAIT – CE tools, training, and sustaining procedures. This collaboration ensures the Navy benefits from improved warfighter readiness and fortified system resilience.
