Lockheed Martin has introduced AI Fight Club, an artificial intelligence proving ground where teams of industry experts can compete to demonstrate AI-powered capabilities designed to support the Department of Defense in protecting national security.
AI Fight Club, which will use a synthetic environment that simulates realistic air, land, sea and space domain scenarios, will be completed in the third quarter of 2025, with the first competition scheduled for the fourth quarter, Lockheed said Tuesday.
Modern Warfare Simulation
With the Lockheed-developed synthetic environment, companies and teams could test how AI models would operate in airborne operations in a contested environment, layered homeland defense, coastal defense against amphibious assault, and space-based surveillance and reconnaissance missions, among other military operations, to improve their AI systems further and ensure their solutions meet the DOD requirements and standards.
“AI Fight Club uses advanced simulation and visualization to evaluate AI in realistic and complex scenarios that mimic the challenges of modern warfare,” said John Clark, Lockheed Martin’s senior vice president of technology and strategic innovation. “Teams with the best AI will battle each other to determine the most robust, reliable and effective models.”
AI Fight Club allows companies and teams to publish and present their research and test results to showcase their innovations and advancements in AI.
