Virginia-based DEFCON AI has delivered a modeling, simulation, and analysis system to the US Air Force – Air Mobility Command as part of a project to amplify the service’s logistics planning capabilities.
Artiv is software built to support decision-making in complex mobility operations. It assists teams in rehearsing transportation concepts ahead of implementation, alleviating or preventing the effects of crises such as airport attacks as well as austere environmental conditions.
The cloud-based solution incorporates a specialized “Resiliency Setting” which identifies vulnerabilities in strategies and suggests response enhancement against potential disruptions.
Moreover, the technology features “maximally effective” and “maximally efficient” configurations to balance the user’s logistics resources for a given mission.
“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 Co-Founder and 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.”
Improving Automated Planning
DEFCON AI received a $1.2-million contract in October 2022 to produce logistics training and simulation software for the Air Mobility Command.
In December 2023, the company launched the Artiv platform for military use and made it available under the US Department of Defense’s Impact Level 5 information classification system.
“At DEFCON AI, our goal is to give the warfighter enhanced logistics and transportation planning capabilities,” DEFCON AI Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer Paul Selva commented on Artiv’s delivery.
“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.”
