Thank you again to The Defense Post for sharing the news! This is only the beginning. 🚀 #nationalsecurity #airforce #defensetech #logistics
✈️📊 DEFCON AI has delivered a modeling, simulation, and analysis system to the Air Mobility Command as part of a project to amplify the service’s logistics planning capabilities. “ARTIV enables logistics and transportation planners to plan for and stay ahead of crises by helping them to formulate, visualize, analyze, and compare courses of action against an intelligent Red Agent or a war-gamed threat scenario,” DEFCON AI CEO Yisroel Brumer explained. “These features are critical for today’s planner, allowing them to do their jobs faster than ever before – reducing planning time from weeks and months to days – and to develop plans with resiliency already baked in to minimize risk.” #military #army #defense #defence #defenseindustry #defenceindustry #defensetech #defencetech #militarytech #technology #innovation #usairforce #usaf #logistics

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.
