The USMC’s Wargaming Capability (WGC) program is interested in utilizing AI/ML and NLP to build a world-class wargaming center focused on executing strategic wargames that will inform force development and investment decisions. IBM was selected through an other transaction authority (OTA) acquisition to deliver a cognitive wargaming platform (CWP) prototype. The CWP prototype will serve as a Proof of Concept (POC) to introduce cognitive computing into the wargaming process. This provides the Marine Corps with an opportunity to validate the use of cognitive computing; review the outcomes at the strategic, operational, and tactical levels; and to appropriately plan for technology adoption and modernization.
