Artificial Intelligence
While others talk of AI, we build technology that helps our clients focus on what matters most: the mission.
We are a leader in the federal market in deployed AI solutions, with over 50 solutions in production today. We help each of our clients maximize efficiency by leveraging AI, while ensuring its safe and responsible use.
Accelerated Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) Threat Detection
Our AF Joint Command client requires support in effective intelligence operations for warfighters and planners. OSINT gathering and processing is imperative to national security, but the sheer volume of information overwhelms analysts. There is a shortage of translators and analysis is time-intensive, leaving actionable intel unseen when it matters most.
We worked with Joint Command to automate and optimize intelligence operations by automatically collecting and translating OSINT in real-time and prioritizing the most important threats for analyst review. This eliminates weeks-long delay in threat review.
Improved Warfighter Situational Awareness
We provide real time analytics across numerous sources, including National, Tactical, Full Motion Video, Imagery, geographic data, and EO/IR sensors; we use cutting-edge technologies to analyze data in real time, relieving the huge data burden on analysts and increasing mission efficiency and effectiveness.
We provide solutions to ingest, fuse, analyze, and disseminate information and leverage AI/ML algorithms to discover new information by performing deep-learning object detection and imagery-to-text captioning from multidomain ISR data sources. We support multiple visualization services, metadata broker services, and deployment of a variety of AI models.
Enhanced Insider Threat Detection
System complexity, dispersed user bases, and secret information make insider threat detection imperative. SIEMs collect tons of network data, but it is not actionable – the data sits across numerous applications, users are across different networks, and legacy systems and complex IT infrastructure make integration difficult.
We work with a 4th Estate agency to enable faster detection of potential risks and proactively respond to threats by identifying new network and user anomalies while supporting 99.99% uptime. We build data mesh architecture to track user and network activity and employ Pattern-of-Life AI models to identify anomalies that deviate from baseline activity. Our solution lies alongside and integrates with existing infrastructure. This frees analysts to focus on high-impact activities and processing potential threats.
Supply Chain Fraud Management
Fraudulent activities and supply chain vulnerabilities pose significant risks, resulting in compliance issues and financial losses. Identifying these issues in high volumes of transaction data requires sophisticated tools for accurate detection and analysis.
Our solution leverages AI to detect anomalies and ensure vendor compliance, including identifying banned products, identifying outliers, and automatically validating supplier catalogs in real time. Our system analyzes more than 8 billion transactions, 80 million products, and 200K new items daily, cutting costs by over $3M. We also forecast supplier vulnerabilities, model vendor risk, and continuously track emerging threats in the supply chain. Our dashboards help business owners better understand anomalies and threats, and we assist in response.
Efficient Processes to Reduce Workload
Our customers struggle with efficiently managing and retrieving critical information from large volumes of unstructured documents, such as ICAs, leading to delays and errors. Traditional methods of document handling are time-consuming, requiring manual effort to search, generate, and update documents.
We utilize AI to automate document searches using unstructured queries and streamline the creation and renewal process with AI-driven document generation. By integrating knowledge graphs, we consolidate data and enable intuitive search functionality, significantly improving efficiency and reducing manual workload.
Optimized Flight Scheduling
Flight scheduling for aircrew training is a labor-intensive process that creates instructor pilot burnout and is under-optimized when done manually due to real-time changes in instructor availability. We automate this previously time and labor-intensive process by forecasting real time long and short-range flying schedules while coordinating with squadron leaders to ensure 100% coverage of all flight, ground, and academic training events.
Proactive Infrastructure Management
We build AIOps architecture that provides predictive analysis of resource usage, reducing costs by ~40% year over year, eliminating unplanned downtime, and maximizing resource utilization over hundreds of GovCloud-hosted applications. The system determines whether current or predicted resource usage warrants action and takes appropriate action, including alerting administrators or automatically reprovisioning resources.
By automating resource management and alerting administrators when necessary, we free up IT teams to focus on higher-priority tasks while ensuring efficient and cost-effective infrastructure management.
Enhanced Knowledge Management
Our customers need a strong real-time understanding of their internal resources to allocate staff and other resources efficiently during crises. We monitor and report on thousands of program, financial, and contracting actions in real-time, consolidating hundreds of sources and better informing workforce and resource utilization. Our custom LLMs put this information at clients’ fingertips, so they can make decisions in minutes vs. days.
We also utilize RPA to automate routine tasks, reducing manual effort and allowing professionals to focus on more strategic activities. This includes governance, infrastructure, and security for RPA processes.
Workforce Transformation and Preparedness
Our customers need workforces that are prepared for disasters, yet traditional training methods often fall short in preparing employees for disasters and evolving missions.
We build agile learning management systems powered by AI that cover the full employee life cycle to develop an agile workforce adapted to future challenges. We use predictive analytics to determine both future mission challenges programs will likely face and what training would best prepare our program’s workforce for these challenges. We infuse data and automations like RPA to optimize and inform recruiting, staffing, finances, and program management.
Minimizing Contract Losses
Compliance checks and fraud prevention in contracting and ordering are currently manual, leading to non-compliance, slow procurement, delays, and ultimately, waste.
We detect contract discrepancies and conduct automatic compliance analysis, streamlining key processes. Additionally, automation extends to critical areas like contract modification analysis, accounting comparisons, and certificate of conformance validation, improving accuracy and efficiency across contracting functions.
AI Sandbox
We developed an AI sandbox for Air Force that centralized all mission-critical data into one platform, providing the necessary infrastructure, including data pipelines, dockerized containers, hosting, and APIs, to deploy any AI tools required by the client. This sandbox, supporting TS-level information, has been successfully used for weapons and battle management systems, enabling seamless integration and enhancing mission effectiveness. We are vendor agnostic and equip our clients with the tools that will benefit the mission the most.
