BAE Systems will be responsible for the integration of advanced technologies into the prototype, such as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and predictive data analytics.

These are expected to offer improved metrics and training on different wargaming processes.

BAE Systems has worked with the Marine Corps Warfighting Laboratory Wargaming Division since 2010 with wargame planning, preparation, execution, and assessment.

The understanding of the mission of the Marine Corps has helped BAE Systems to support the wargaming processes and to identify ways where technology will benefit marines to boost capabilities.
