The Danti team has been busy on all fronts and we’re pleased to share two giant leaps in our execution and growth plan.
First up, Danti has been awarded a $1.2 Million contract from AFWERX
On October 18th, AFWERX the innovation arm of the Department of the Air Force and a directorate within the Air Force Research Laboratory announced that it has awarded Danti a $1.2 million Direct-to-Phase II contract. We’re proud to say we will be supporting the U.S. Space Force with AI-powered search capabilities while also expanding on our work with the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency (NGA).
Earlier this year, we won the gSEARCH Challenge, sponsored by NSIN and NGA. We secured our win because we were able to deliver increased decision superiority with rapid access to vast amounts of imagery and geospatial data at a scale ahead of any adversary. Our work has since expanded to include search technology with unclassified data systems and multiple Department of Defense partners, including the Army, Space Force, and other branches.
We are thrilled to expand our collaboration with the U.S. Defense and Intelligence communities. Danti’s cutting-edge natural language and AI-powered search capabilities will enable Guardians and Airman to easily search and discover imagery, analytics, reports, news, social media, and many other diverse data types across NGA, Space Force, and commercial data partner repositories. With a simple, intuitive interface, we empower expert and non-expert users to find the precise information they need to support quick and effective decision-making.
AFWERX brings cutting-edge American ingenuity from small businesses and start-ups to address the most pressing challenges of the DAF. AFWERX employs approximately 325 military, civilian, and contractor personnel at six hubs and sites executing an annual $1.4 billion budget. Since 2019, AFWERX has executed 4,671 contracts worth more than $2 billion to strengthen the U.S. defense industrial base and drive faster technology transition to operational capability.
