The US Army has licensed Exiger’s AI software in order to accelerate its defence acquisition, reduce lead times, and enhance operational readiness. It’s part of a multi-million collar contract that’s been awarded to Exiger to provide end-to-end supply chain risk illumiation.
“This is a revolutionary capability that will transform the way the U.S. Army approaches sustainment,” said Exiger CEO Brandon Daniels. “Our software will help identify at-risk NIINs that may be subject to undue constraints from a variety of factors. It will unlock the organic and additive capabilities that the government has invested in. And it will monitor for severe risk hiding in the supply chain, identifying where natural and manmade disasters, supplier operational and reputational risk, and foreign adversary sourcing could create disruptions in the weapons systems our warfighters depend on. Together, these capabilities deliver a more predictive industrial base, capable of responding to evolving mission needs at speed.”
Exiger has also joined forces with Palantir as part of this project, combining Palantir’s operating system with its own mission-built supply chain AI.
“This partnership combines Palantir’s and Exiger’s world-class technologies to integrate production decisions with battlefield demands, ensuring the US Army can deliver faster and more reliably to those on the front lines,” said Mike Gallagher, Head of Defense, Palantir.
“AI and automation across the supply chain enable deeper visibility, faster risk surfacing, active and proactive mitigation, and accelerated supply movement, giving commanders and portfolio acquisition executives a level of foresight and speed never before possible,” Daniels added.
