Decision-Support Tool Enables Military
Personnel to Rapidly and Securely Coordinate Operations in
Contested Mobility Environments
DEFCON AI, an insights company that is building a
next-generation modeling, simulation, and analysis (MS&A)
toolset for the modern military environment, today announced that
it has formally delivered its advanced MS&A tool, ARTIV, to the
Air Force’s Air Mobility Command. The decision-support platform
allows planners working in contested mobility settings to design
optimized transportation and logistics networks while ensuring
resilience.
The on-budget delivery of ARTIV comes two years after DEFCON AI
was first awarded a Department of the Air Force Phase II Small
Business Innovation Research contract to develop operational-level
logistics training software that could support mission planning in
the face of disruption and just six months after the ARTIV
prototype was deployed to DoD Impact Level 5.
ARTIV allows planners to test and optimize operational logistics
and transportation concepts in advance of crises – such as an
attack on an airport or a storm causing severe disruptions at a
major port. The cloud-native tool enables planners to train under
various real-world scenarios so they can minimize interruptions to
ensure the fast mobilization of resources regardless of the
operational disruption. Among the notable features of ARTIV is its
Resiliency Setting involving an intelligent Red Agent that looks
for vulnerabilities in plans that adversaries could exploit,
allowing logistics and transportation planners to strategize and
optimize responses to potential disruptions. In addition, ARTIV
allows the user to balance cost and effectiveness by selecting
across the spectrum of settings from maximally effective to
maximally efficient. This critical capability will provide DoD the
flexibility to enhance outcomes in wartime and cost-effectiveness,
when appropriate.
“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,” said Yisroel Brumer, DEFCON
AI’s Co-Founder and CEO. “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.”
“At DEFCON AI, our goal is to give the warfighter enhanced
logistics and transportation planning capabilities,” said retired
Gen. Paul Selva, DEFCON AI’s Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer.
“With the delivery of ARTIV, we are accomplishing that by putting
technology directly into the hands of planners to automate the
joint-planning process with an intuitive user interface. Our
approach reduces costs, decreases operational risk to deployed
units in the field, and helps Services and Combatant Commands push
the right commodity at the right time through the right
channel.”
