Enterprise AI applications ordered under $500M
MDA Production Agreement
C3 AI (NYSE: AI), the Enterprise AI software company, has
received the first three orders in its five-year, $500 million
Production-Other Transaction Agreement sponsored by the U.S.
Missile Defense Agency (MDA), which will be applicable across the
Department of Defense (DoD). All three orders will leverage the C3
AI Platform to accelerate deployment of critical enterprise
artificial intelligence capabilities across the MDA.
“An enterprise AI platform that allows for credible assessment
of combined kinetic and non-kinetic effects across domains is
critical to optimize and correctly evaluate missile defense mission
effectiveness,” said Ed Abbo, C3 AI President and CTO. “We are
thrilled to fulfill the MDA’s first three orders in our five-year
partnership.”
The first order will support efforts to rapidly produce accurate
representations of advanced threats using generative machine
learning models. As MDA develops the next generation of missile
defense interceptor systems, massive data sets are required to
capture the total view of potential threats. These data sets can
then be used for a variety of analyses and simulations. C3 AI will
provide an enterprise AI application enabling MDA users to:
- Unify large data sets across the agency from physics-model
outputs and intelligence sources.
- Manage machine learning generative model pipelines.
- Accurately generate novel threat signatures in a fraction of
the time of the agency’s current methods.
- Export data in MDA standard or compressed formats compatible
with a growing ecosystem of engineering applications.
The second order will equip the agency’s test programs with an
AI application to plan, analyze, and execute Missile Defense System
flight/ground test events, such as pre- and post-test efforts
including hardware-in-the-loop system tests and post-flight
reconstruction. The solution, initially deployed to an Impact Level
6 (IL6) classified cloud environment, will be capable of:
- Integrating disparate flight and ground test data into a
unified, federated data model.
- Configuring pipelines to automatically generate test
analyses.
- Launching AI-backed exploration of new insights.
The third order will further accelerate the agency’s Ground Test
process by optimizing and automating key facets of the process,
consolidating and unifying test requirements from multiple
stakeholders, and ingesting, unifying, and analyzing engineering
data at enterprise scale.
“The insights extracted from large volumes of sensor, network,
and weapon system test data are critical to analyzing the
operational effectiveness, suitability, and survivability of the
Missile Defense System,” said Dr. Shari Feth, MDA Innovation
Science and Technology Director. “The deployment of an enterprise
AI platform has allowed MDA to demonstrate robust end-to-end
capabilities for collaborating on AI model development and rapidly
deploying insights into new production applications.”
