Opportunity: Implementing AI for Camouflage Evaluation

Opportunity Number:

DEVCOMSC-012

Opportunity Location:

Natick, MA

Opportunity Description:

DEVCOM SC is looking to modernize it Camouflage Evaluation Facility, implementing AI tools and other mechanical tools to develop a state of the art programmable evaluation facility to assess camouflage performance. The Camouflage Evaluation Facility will be used to recreate different operational environments and environmental conditions in which newly developed camouflage patterns need to perform. This opportunity will provide the selected intern with hands on experience not only with programming or writing code but it physical implementation into engineering tools to accomplish the evaluations. It will also help the selected candidate see how the work is used to develop new data sets to train AI Algorithms.

Opportunity Skill Set:

Computer Science Major with Python Programming, video and image processing, SQL, MS Database, JSON Libraries. Mechanical Engineering Major, knowledge of thermodinamics, CAD, Solid Works, Fluids Dynamics

Opportunity Host Facility

DEVCOM Soldier Center (DEVCOM SC)

Natick, MA and Orlando, FL

DEVCOM Soldier Center (SC) is located at the U.S. Army Natick Soldier Systems Center (NSSC) which was established in the 1950s in Natick, Massachusetts. Known locally as ‘Natick Labs’, it is deeply rooted in the area’s innovative academic and industrial Science & Technology (S&T) communities and is the lead organization for the Army’s Soldier Domain Technology. DEVCOM SC focuses on the Soldier and incorporates the latest innovations to maximize the Warfighter’s combat readiness, survivability, sustainability, mobility, combat effectiveness and field quality of life. Soldier Center is “The Science Behind the Soldier” as diverse groups of scientists and engineers provide the Army with innovative Science and Technology solutions to optimize the performance of our Soldiers. DEVCOM SC maintains and enhances core competencies such as Soldier Performance/Integration, Individual/Collective Protection, Material Science Fiber/Textile, Military Nutrition/Food Service Logistics, Aerial Delivery, and Army Training Technology that are relevant and critical to support the Soldier of today and tomorrow. We leverage cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence, quantum effects, autonomy, advanced energetics, and synthetic biology to give Soldiers the ability to see, sense, decide, and act faster than their adversaries. Our Simulation and Training Technology Division located in Orlando, FL continues the mission to develop, mature and transition innovative training and simulation technologies to maximize Soldier effectiveness and Warfighter readiness.
