DEFCON AI

We are happy to announce that the United States Department of the Air Force has exercised a second option year on our previous Phase III Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract! “AMC’s decision to exercise this second option year not only demonstrates its confidence in our ability to deliver cutting-edge, mission-critical technology to the Air Force, it also speaks to DEFCON AI’s progress as a company and our staying power within the defense industry. The award enables DEFCON AI to continue advancing next-generation logistics planning tools and building on our existing optimization and intelligent capabilities. More importantly, it enables AMC planners to cut planning time from days to minutes and to optimize plans for efficiency, effectiveness, and resilience.” - Yisroel Brumer, Co-Founder and CEO at DEFCON AI https://lnkd.in/eWVGAghs #airforce #sbir #dod #logistics #mobility #defensetech

The successful deployment of DEFCON AI's ARTIV prototype to DoD IL6 through Second Front Systems' Game Warden means that planners can now operate ARTIV securely in a Secret environment while training for or executing real-world scenarios and enhancing military readiness and mobility. Congratulations to all who enabled this to come to fruition Yisroel Brumer Paul Selva Matt Isler Walter "Dan" Daniels, Colonel USAF (ret), MBA, ICP TJ Rowe Grant Verstandig Jeff Grobman Suzanne Cox PhD Stephen Malone, Ph.D. Red Cell Partners https://lnkd.in/ejjbUAh8

DEFCON AI was born in 2022 when the Air Mobility Commander, Gen. Mike Minihan approached former Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and DEFCON AI co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer, Gen. Paul Selva, looking for next-generation tools to rapidly plan for and make informed decisions in contested logistics environments. Today we are thrilled to announce that we have delivered a gov-cloud based version of ARTIV ™, our combinatorial optimization and reinforcement learning-based advanced modeling simulation and analytics tool for the modern military logistics environment, to Air Mobility Command. ARTIV puts technology directly in the hands of logistics planners to automate the joint planning process with an intuitive user interface, streamline business processes, and reduce planning time.
