Accelerating Defense Mission Autonomy

The Imperative for Autonomous Advantage

As the defense community faces an increasingly complex global security environment, the integration of autonomous systems has shifted from a futuristic concept to a near-term operational necessity. The Department is at a strategic crossroads: while interest and investment are at an all-time high, infrastructure challenges and legacy constraints threaten to stall the transition from pilot projects to battlefield-ready capabilities. By modernizing the underlying cloud-to-edge architecture, defense agencies can unlock the true potential of autonomy—ensuring faster decision-making, increased mission persistence, and a decisive edge in contested environments.
