On April 14, Accrete, Inc., a New York-based AI company that builds Knowledge Engines, announced that the U.S. Air Force has selected the company’s platform to help reduce foreign ownership, control, or influence (FOCI) risk in international investments and real estate acquisitions.

The U.S. Air Force is one of the military branches that participates in the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), an interagency committee that reviews transactions involving foreign investment in the United States to assess their potential impact on national security.

Accrete’s Knowledge Engine Platform, which powers Argus, enables AI agents to capture tacit domain knowledge, reason across information silos, and identify vulnerabilities too complex for humans to uncover with traditional analytical software.

“FOCI can be a complex and often opaque network. Adversaries frequently conceal activities through multilayered corporations and front businesses, which regularly change names, countries of registry, and ownership, making detection difficult. This vulnerability poses a significant risk to national security. Argus highlights detailed information and reveals FOCI threats quickly,” said Bill Wall, CEO of Accrete AI Government LLC, the federal subsidiary of Accrete, Inc.

Argus provides a rapid and accurate picture of risk and influence significantly accelerating decision-making. Customers select Argus because it enables them to quickly process and contextualize overwhelming amounts of complex information that previously prevented timely determinations. Analysts can conduct due diligence and identify gaps in CFIUS filings using trustworthy agents that reason from ground truth rooted in institutional knowledge, judgment, and experience.

“The Air Force’s selection of Accrete’s Knowledge Engine Platform and the deployment of its Argus agent reflects a shift in how national security threats are identified and addressed. We are proud to provide the Air Force with AI infrastructure that enables more proactive decisions. Argus enables the United States to gain a decision edge while strengthening national security,” said Prashant Bhuyan, founder, CEO, and chairman of Accrete, Inc.

On March 11, Leidos announced that it will modernize the U.S. Air Force’s Cloud One platform to accelerate the secure deployment of cloud capabilities. This program is designed to create a vehicle for modernization that can be deployed across the Department of War to help safeguard mission-critical systems and data and drive broader, faster adoption of cloud capabilities across the Air Force.

Under the $454.9 million contract, Leidos will work with Amazon Web Services, Azure, Google Cloud Platform, and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure to transform the Air Force’s multi-cloud environment. The improvements are designed to boost security, increase automation and simplify day-to-day operations, all while helping reduce costs and enabling Air Force teams to manage cloud operations faster and with greater confidence, making it easier for more units to adopt and scale cloud services.

“Modernizing Cloud One helps the Air Force deploy mission-critical operations faster and defend them more effectively,” said Steve Hull, president of Leidos’ digital modernization. “It also creates a secure, repeatable cloud foundation that other Department of War organizations can adopt, helping to remove barriers to cloud adoption and enabling teams to move faster and more securely to help meet mission demands and maintain a strategic edge.”

By streamlining cloud processes and reducing complexity, the program is intended to accelerate cloud adoption across Air Force units worldwide, making it easier for them to move applications to the cloud, while strengthening cyber defenses and enhancing mission readiness.

On December 10, Voyager Technologies, Inc. announced that it has secured a contract with the Air Force Research Laboratory under a $21 million contract to develop AI-enabled next-generation intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance systems.

“Today’s threats change fast, so our systems must adapt faster than the threats they counter,” said Matt Magaña, president of space, defense and national security at Voyager. “By combining next-generation sensor architectures with open designs and built-in AI, we’re creating agile surveillance solutions ready for platforms across ground, air, surface, space and cyber.”

The effort focuses on the development of digital signal processing capabilities for multi-domain operations and delivery of situational awareness tools. These tools fuse information from multiple sources into a single, clear picture, helping decision-makers act faster and stay ahead in fast-moving situations.

To address emerging ISR and cyber operations, Voyager is developing GPU-based surveillance systems enabled by AI to support irregular warfare in near-peer engagements, tracking threats in real-time, as they operate in both military and civilian RF infrastructures.

On December 4, the U.S. Air Force posted a request for information (RFI) for Data at Rest capabilities. Responses are due by 12:00 p.m. Eastern on January 5.

The USAF Life Cycle Management Center, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance & Special Operations Forces (ISR & SOF) Directorate, Tactical Air Control Party Modernization (TACP-M) Program Office (AFLCMC/WISN) is conducting market research to identify possible sources capable of enabling TACP Core Computers with Commercial Solutions for Classified (CSfC) Dual Data at Rest (DAR) capabilities.

Currently, TACP Core Computers that have accessed classified networks retain a classified status, creating logistical and operational security concerns during travel and field operations. This modification will allow these computers to ensure classified Data at Rest is properly sanitized, enabling the computers to be considered unclassified when powered off or logged out, mitigating these risks and enhancing operational security. This will be achieved through a minimum hardware update to the hard drives (to support full disk encryption) and a software update.
