Acquisition and Production

Move critical capabilities from requirement to fielding and production

The U.S. federal government and defense sector companies invest billions in cutting-edge research and development, then depend on a fragmented industrial base to produce mission-critical assets at scale. Capabilities stall in bureaucratic silos, sub-tier risks and sole-source dependencies hide in fragmented data, and critical weapon systems fall behind schedule.

Air Enterprise Readiness platform identifies, evaluates, and accelerates next-generation capabilities and coordinates resilient industrial capacity and scaled production. By unifying the technology development pipeline and industrial base into a single, AI-native platform, Air strengthens the defense industrial base and reduces the time and cost required to produce mission-critical assets in the quantities and timelines the mission demands.

Proven Impact: 
U.S. Army Modernization

Problem

The Army’s modernization program fields cutting-edge equipment to the warfighter. The Materiel Release review is the hurdle every program must clear before capabilities can reach the warfighter. Fragmented data and siloed operations slowed risk identification and created cost and schedule pressure.

Solution

Air consolidated fragmented data and siloed operations into one coordinated environment. The Army can now streamline workflows, automate routines, and gain a real-time view of the modernization portfolio.

Impact

Air enabled the Army to compress Materiel Release timelines by more than two-thirds, from 15 months to three months, so capabilities reach the warfighter faster.

80%

Faster materiel release

Delivering new capabilities to the warfighter in months instead of years.
