Husmann Technologies to Demonstrate Theia at Naval Postgraduate School JIFX 25-2
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MONTEREY, Calif. — February 2025 — Husmann Technologies, LLC announced today that it will participate in the Naval Postgraduate School’s (NPS) Joint Interagency Field Experimentation (JIFX) 25-2, taking place 3–7 February 2025, where the company will present and evaluate Theia, its advanced AI-driven diagnostic and optimization platform for critical infrastructure and power systems.
Hosted by the Naval Postgraduate School, JIFX 25-2 brings together government, industry, academia, and operational stakeholders to evaluate emerging technologies in realistic field conditions. The event is designed to accelerate the transition of innovative capabilities by enabling direct experimentation, data collection, and operator feedback.
At JIFX 25-2, Husmann Technologies will demonstrate Theia – More Effects, Less Complexity, an experiment focused on using AI, vision, and acoustic sensing as a passive “nervous system” to monitor complex equipment in an operationally relevant environment. Theia will be evaluated on a workover rig configured as an ersatz ship engine room, enabling real-time monitoring and analysis of mechanical systems using motion amplification, sound visualization, and multi-modal data fusion.
Theia is designed to support condition-based maintenance, early fault detection, and trend analysis across engines, aircraft, and shipborne systems. By processing discrete, ontological, and topological data in accordance with open and defense-relevant standards—including ISO 15143-3, SAE J1939, OPC-UA, and ISO 13374—Theia enables faster, more accurate diagnostics while reducing unplanned downtime and operational risk.
The platform integrates large language models (LLMs), custom transformers, topological analysis, and fuzzy logic to deliver actionable insights across dispersed assets. This approach supports proactive maintenance, improved coordination, and enhanced readiness while minimizing cognitive burden on operators and maintenance teams.
“Theia is built to help operators and decision-makers see emerging issues earlier and act with greater confidence,” said Darrin Husmann, Principal Investigator and Founder of Husmann Technologies. “JIFX provides an invaluable environment to test Theia alongside real-world systems, engage directly with stakeholders, and refine the platform based on operational feedback.”
Husmann Technologies’ participation in JIFX 25-2 aligns with ongoing Department of Defense efforts to modernize infrastructure, improve energy resilience, and advance data-driven maintenance and readiness initiatives. Theia is intended to support and complement current work associated with GENISYS, NPNM, and related Naval Surface Warfare Center Philadelphia Division (NSWCPD) initiatives.
