The Dept. of Defense released a draft solicitation for what may be the largest AI-related contract in government history, up to $15b over the next decade. AI companies would be smart to contribute responses that: 1. Showcase diverse capabilities and unique applicability to DoD's missions. 2. Shape and inform this expansive requirement. 3. Enhance your business's visibility to the government. Responses due Dec. 20, 2024.

The federal govt's demand for AI capabilities is growing rapidly and dramatically. Alongside that growth is the immediate need to shepherd AI innovations into the federal market. AI solutions face unique challenges navigating the complex govt contracting landscape: not only are they relatively new businesses, but the govt is still refining its definition of new, mission-specific AI requirements. Enabling the strongest solutions to make it to govt requires more targeted support to this sector than ever before.

#STEMSaturday The dashboard data tool that NAVWAR #NIWCAtlantic scientists have created will help to ensure that our US Navy leadership stays informed of where we are in critical aspects of the Navy. These metrics ensure that we have a common understanding of my Navigation Plan project 33 targets. This vital information will help us save time, become more efficient and become more lethal to maintain our #warfighting advantage. https://lnkd.in/g8xmNYKC

"They have refined a large language model (LLM) with over 600 authoritative texts on topics ranging from military history and international relations theory to competitive strategy and deterrence into nine datasets to explore alternative blueprints for the U.S. military.[2] Two insights have emerged." "First, the tendency to create new commands may have reached its limit and potentially undermines calls for integrated deterrence and better synchronization of effects across domains, the U.S. government, and the U.S. network of partners and allies." "Second, the current U.S. blueprint for projecting power and influence struggles in day-to-day competition and integrating development assistance, security cooperation, and economic measures in a holistic manner. The LLM consistently generated alternative UCP designs organized around this central idea." https://lnkd.in/eys_-7P3

Here are some great tips on how to request military service records for our citizen archivists!

Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS): Using Artificial Intelligence to Rethink the Unified Command Plan Using AI to rethink the Unified Command Plan (UCP) can significantly enhance the U.S. military's integration of cyber, space, and electronic warfare. Three key policy options are proposed: first, improving the command structure for global engagement and competition by better organizing the United States Department of Defense (DOD) and other national security agencies; second, merging space, cyber, and information effects commands to streamline functions and enhance deterrence capabilities; and third, realigning geographic combatant command boundaries to reflect modern global competition. These changes would improve interagency coordination, potentially reduce costs, and prepare the military for modern warfare and geopolitical challenges. The authors suggest creating interagency joint task forces and reconsidering the need for multiple service components, advocating for a comprehensive reevaluation of the national security framework.
