Navy posts RAITE 2025 RFI

On March 5, the U.S. Navy posted a request for information (RFI) for the Robust Artificial Intelligence Test Event (RAITE) 2025. Responses are due by 12:00 p.m. Eastern on April 4.

This Special Notice is being issued by Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division (NSWC Crane), in support of the Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office (CDAO) and other entities within the Department of Defense (DoD). This Special Notice is intended to be a Request for Information/Submissions with relevant details outlined below for participation consideration in RAITE 25.

RAITE is structured as a red/blue team test event focusing on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and autonomy technologies on a cyber-physical range. The mission of RAITE is to provide academia, industry, and government a unique environment to holistically test AI capabilities. The collaborative, real-time, representative test pushes AI capabilities in terms of attacks and defenses to address critical technology gaps.

Given the extraordinary reliance of the DoD on commercial vendors (small and large) and private sector solution providers, NSWC Crane will require a combined effort of industry, academia, and government experts to bring innovative initiatives into the experimentation event to achieve definable specific outcomes.

The Government is not responsible and will not reimburse any costs associated to this announcement.  The Government will not reimburse costs for responses to this announcement nor participation in the RAITE event.

RAITE started in 2023 and has evolved each year. The 2025 event is continuing to support scenarios in the areas of multimodal data (computer vision, radar, e.g.), cyber-enabled AI networks (such as critical infrastructure), UxV collaboration and environment interaction. In addition, RAITE 2025 will add LLM (Large Language Model) Test & Evaluation as a dedicated scenario.
