Chronos Operations Participates in NAVWAR’s RAITE 2025 AI Evaluation Event
Chronos Operations, a small business specializing in IT services and owned by an Alaska Native Corporation, is set to take part in the Department of Defense’s Robust Artificial Intelligence Test and Evaluation (RAITE) 2025 event. This initiative, hosted by the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division, focuses on testing large language models (LLMs) against cyber threats within defense applications.
What RAITE 2025 Covers
RAITE 2025 will present participants with various AI models in scenarios involving unmanned systems collaboration, cyber-enabled AI networks, and interactions with multimodal data and environments. The event’s primary goal is to enhance AI safety, trustworthiness, and readiness for defense operations.
Chronos Operations will specifically examine AI use in operations characterized by limited communications and autonomous environments. Their contributions include supporting Purple Team scenarios, delivering post-processing analytics to identify technology gaps, and defending LLMs in Blue Team scenario 4, which involves protecting a large language model deployed on an edge device.
Chronos Operations’ Role and Outlook
Heather Lacroix, President of Chronos Operations, expressed enthusiasm about the opportunity: “We are elated to be selected. Future U.S. naval operations will depend on a strong understanding of AI to ensure our sailors maintain a strategic edge over adversaries.”
This participation underscores the increasing importance of AI in operational contexts where security and autonomy are critical. For operations professionals, this highlights the growing need to engage with AI technologies that can operate reliably in complex and constrained environments.
For those interested in expanding their AI skills relevant to operations and defense, exploring specialized training programs can be valuable. Resources like Complete AI Training’s courses by job offer practical learning paths tailored to operational roles.
