Artificial Intelligence Systems Integration Support Innovative Technology at NSWCDD
May 5, 2021
IMAGE: Dr. Jeffrey Solka is the Senior Scientific and Technical Manager for Naval Data Sciences at Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD). He also serves as the Naval Sea Systems Command Knowledge Point Champion for artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) systems, quantum sciences and digital sciences. Solka oversees AI/ML integration for various projects and leads AI/ML science and technology efforts. As part of a Naval Innovative Science Engineering initiative, Solka, Igor Shtau, lead artificial intelligence and machine learning engineer and Dr. Chris Weiland, acting chief scientist, discuss the integration of a Nvidia Jetson and optical targeting payload onto a manufactured quadcopter at NSWCDD. “The project is examining the effects of machine learning techniques on the kill chain and how these algorithms can be effectively verified and validated,” said Solka.

IMAGE: KING GEORGE, Va. (July 30, 2019) – Navy engineer Page Wessel, left, briefs a local school teacher on the use of coding blocks to write a program for the Mindstorm EV3 robot at the Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) STEM Workshop for Educators at the University of Mary Washington Dahlgren campus. Wessel was among the NSWCDD scientists and engineers who joined university professors at the workshop to share best practices and ideas for project based learning in STEM with elementary, middle, and high school educators. The forum featured briefings and demonstrations while the educators participated in hands-on activities that they could pass on to other teachers and students at their respective schools. The activities included, “Straw Rockets and Mini-Railgun”, “Ozobots and Littlebits Engineering”, and “EV3 LEGO Robotics”.
