The Data Science Futures hackathon provides the opportunity to discover insights into military data and use these insights to save lives and improve mission operations.
Under a tight timeline, participants will band together to arrive at new discoveries and ways in which our military can make better decisions with the Mad Scientist data provided by the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC). The Mad Scientist initiative focuses on disruptive technologies (sentient data, internet of sustainable energy, platform mergers, autonomous vs. unmanned, etc.), human dimension (cognitive potential, man-machine interface, genome sequencing, wearables, continuous diagnostics, performance enhancers), and megacities and dense urban areas (population-centric intelligence, invisible geography, hot zone robotics, avatars in the field, and the role of augmented and virtual reality in training).
