## Abstract (arXiv)

AI development requires high fidelity testing environments to effectively transition from the laboratory to operations. The flexibility offered by cyber arenas presents a novel opportunity to test new artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities with users. Cyber arenas are designed to expose end-users to real-world situations and must rapidly incorporate evolving capabilities to meet their core objectives. To explore this concept the MIT/IEEE/Amazon Graph Challenge Anonymized Network Sensor was deployed in a cyber arena during a National Guard exercise.
