Powering decision advantage with AI

Today’s national security organizations are compelled to leverage multiple data sources in real time to enhance human decision-making. Responsible AI solutions can bolster defense, intelligence and military operations by processing and analyzing large amounts of information at high speed. They can also provide an unprecedented tactical and operational advantage. For decades, IBM has earned our clients' trust by responsibly deploying new technologies with a clear purpose, and meeting strict security and data management requirements.

 

Our mission: Powering decision advantage

Learn how IBM can get you and your team the right data, at the right time, in the right way.

Solutions

AI requires trusted data. By understanding your mission, we can help design a data architecture to power decision advantage.
Mission planning

Defense Simulation Analystical Service (DSaS) is a real-time mission planning environment that expands the commander’s decision space with situational awareness and course of action analysis to improve trusted decision-making across domains.

Quantum safe

Quantum-safe encryption is key to addressing the quantum-based cybersecurity threats of the future. Defense organizations are well advised to get ahead of the quantum-safe encryption curve, starting with understanding what data might be at risk from future threats.

AI and edge autonomous

Act on insights closer to where data is created. How do you manage and promote security across thousands of edge servers and hundreds of thousands of edge devices cost-effectively? The answer: IBM Edge Application Manager.

Modernization

Accelerating the modernization of applications for rapid cloud migration is an effective way in which defense agencies can implement digital transformation and address business imperatives. See how Red Hat’s open and flexible hybrid approach can help the DoD connect clouds, teams and processes.

Asset maintenance

AI-based predictive maintenance solutions go beyond time-scheduled maintenance to condition-based action to predict the likelihood of future failures, improving asset reliability and enabling cost reduction.

Defense transformation consulting

Get transformative solutions that enable government and defense agencies to modernize faster and enhance mission readiness and decision advantage.
