Zapata AI, a leading provider of industrial-grade software for enterprise AI, has entered into a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement with the US Special Operations Command to enhance real-time intelligence and decision support for warfighters. The collaboration aims to empower USSOCOM’s Hyper-Enabled Operator and Force programs with state-of-the-art AI on the edge, enabling advanced situational awareness, real-time decision-making, and operational readiness in challenging environments.
Under the agreement, Zapata AI will leverage its Orquestra platform to speed up the model development lifecycle and create AI and ML applications that enhance mission performance for USSOCOM’s Hyper-Enabled Force initiatives. Christopher Savoie, CEO and co-founder of Zapata AI, expressed pride in supporting the brave men and women of USSOCOM in defending national security around the world. The partnership builds on Zapata AI’s success in supporting Andretti Global’s complex race intelligence and advanced analytics needs, and deepens its existing relationships across the US Department of Defense innovation ecosystem.
Enhancing Real-Time Intelligence for Warfighters through AI Collaboration
The U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) has entered a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with Zapata Computing Holdings Inc., a provider of industrial-grade software for enterprise AI, to enhance real-time intelligence and decision support for USSOCOM’s Hyper-Enabled Operator and Force programs. This collaboration aims to leverage state-of-the-art AI on the edge to improve situational awareness, real-time decision-making, and operational readiness in challenging environments and contested spaces.
The CRADA will enable USSOCOM to utilize advanced AI tools to accelerate planning, creation, and delivery of AI-driven advantages that align closely with specific mission objectives and parameters. Zapata AI’s Orquestra platform will be used to speed up the model development lifecycle (MDLC) and create AI and ML applications that enhance mission performance for USSOCOM’s Hyper-Enabled Force (HEF) initiatives. The decision-support capabilities developed by the partnership will run on ruggedized high-performance computing (HPC) hardware in low connectivity environments.
The collaboration builds upon Zapata AI’s success in supporting Andretti Global’s complex race intelligence and advanced analytics needs. In both cases, Zapata AI deploys an ensemble of small, specialized AI models at the edge, providing real-time analytics and decision support in environments with limited or unpredictable connectivity. This approach has proven to deliver superior performance for mission-critical applications where speed and accuracy are paramount.
Accelerating AI-Driven Advantage through Model Development Lifecycle
The CRADA will enable USSOCOM to accelerate its ability to plan, create, and deliver AI-driven advantages that align closely with specific mission objectives and parameters. Zapata AI’s Orquestra platform will be used to speed up the model development lifecycle (MDLC) and create AI and ML applications that enhance mission performance for USSOCOM’s Hyper-Enabled Force (HEF) initiatives.
The MDLC is a critical component of developing effective AI solutions, as it enables the rapid creation, testing, and deployment of AI models. By leveraging Zapata AI’s Orquestra platform, USSOCOM will be able to accelerate its MDLC, enabling faster development and deployment of AI-driven advantages.
Enhancing Operational Readiness through Edge AI
The CRADA aims to enhance operational readiness for USSOCOM’s Hyper-Enabled Force (HEF) initiatives by leveraging edge AI capabilities. Zapata AI’s Orquestra platform will be used to create AI and ML applications that run on ruggedized high-performance computing (HPC) hardware in low connectivity environments.
Edge AI is critical for mission-critical applications where speed and accuracy are paramount. By deploying an ensemble of small, specialized AI models at the edge, USSOCOM will be able to enhance its operational readiness by providing real-time analytics and decision support in environments with limited or unpredictable connectivity.
Deepening Relationships across the US Department of Defense
The CRADA deepens Zapata AI’s existing relationships across the United States Department of Defense landscape. As the only company participating across all tracks of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Quantum Benchmarking program, Zapata AI has led groundbreaking work to estimate the economic utility and resource requirements for high-value quantum computing applications.
Zapata AI’s participation in the DARPA Quantum Benchmarking program demonstrates its commitment to advancing the state-of-the-art in AI and quantum computing. The company’s success in supporting Andretti Global’s complex race intelligence and advanced analytics needs further highlights its capabilities in deploying AI solutions in challenging environments.
