About

Vision

This school aims to equip professionals in the defense sector with the latest knowledge in AI and big data technologies, particularly in the fields of autonomous systems and computer vision. In addition to theoretical information, this course emphasizes practical applications, enabling participants to reinforce how they can apply what they have learned to real-world defense projects. By the end of the course, participants will have the necessary knowledge and skills to effectively develop and implement AI-based solutions.

Methodology & Infrastructure

A portion of the training will be conducted in the classroom, covering theoretical knowledge and scenario-based examples tailored to the topic. During the practical application phase, the following activities will be carried out:

  • Algorithm implementations and simulations will be conducted for autonomous systems and computer vision applications.
  • AI models will be created and trained on defense sector-specific datasets. (Model selection and training duration will be adjusted according to the course timeframe.)
Target Groups

The trainings within the scope of the school are designed for a wide audience aiming to gain knowledge and skills in the use of artificial intelligence in the defense industry and to enhance their expertise in this field. Our target audience includes employees of project-executing institutions and organizations, professionals working within the Defense Industry Agency (SSB) as the procurement authority, experts from public institutions and organizations acting as the requirement authority, industry professionals, and young talents who are new to the sector and eager to direct their careers in this field.

Program Design&Instructors

Trainings are designed and realized with the support of industry professionals and academicians with industry experience. Expert Advisory Board (EAB) established in this context sets out the vision of the AI SCHOOL and regularly provides feedback on course contents. Program Coordinators periodically revise the AI School courses and course contents in line with the EAB and participants’ feedbacks.

Expert Advisory Board

Expert Advisory Board (EAB) within the AI School provides feedback and gives recommendations on the following topics:

  • Proficiency of the program content
  • Development of new training content and revision of existing ones in line with the existing and emerging competencies required in the defense industry
  • Instructor competencies and potential instructor candidates
  • Potential collaborations regarding the program
  • Shaping of potential real-life scenarios to be covered during the training
Training Coordinators

Coordinators within the AI School perform the following activities based on the needs of the Defense Industry:

  • Conducting training needs analysis
  • Preparing training catalogs
  • Creating the content of the courses
  • Choosing and evaluation of the trainers
  • Customization of the course contents according to the demands and needs
  • Coordination of EAB meetings and take actions accordingly
