Shortening time from vision to reality

SAIC can help SOF organizations prove out a cloud solution — or any solution or capability — before fielding it. SAIC digital engineering is our unified suite of modeling, simulation, analytics, visualization and collaboration tools that ensures we and our customers make the best engineering decisions. 

Using advanced technologies to digitally generate, curate, analyze and share a design construction as computable data, we can visualize and test the solution against an extraordinary number of operational scenarios and mission factors, in days and weeks versus months or years. Digital engineering is cost effective because it reduces design iterations and physical prototyping, thereby cutting down acquisition cycle times while ensuring solution performance and mission success.

And, as system complexity and the need for systems of systems rise with the DOD's JADC2 (joint all-domain command and control) warfighting strategy, our digital engineering not only can deliver new SOCOM mission capabilities but also can ensure systems optimization with the greater defense ecosystem.

Getting smart with data and AI

All DOD organizations are trying to manage and analyze huge volumes of data from multiple domains. This data flood presents a great challenge on the battlefield, as special operations forces must focus on high-stakes tasks at hand and not be distracted by low-order data handling tasks.

SAIC is responding with our data management and AI solutions. The Koverse Data Platform (KDP), from leading intelligent data solutions company Koverse, which SAIC acquired, manages a wide variety of data sources and data types, and provides fine-grained access based on security classification and other controls. KDP's data fusion and organization abilities set up SAIC to integrate analytics and AI through our AI development environment, called Tenjin. We can therefore quickly operationalize an AI-driven, full data life-cycle solution for customers.

AI and machine learning can help humans profoundly, but in the end, humans cannot be replaced. We teach machines what to focus on and seek out for us, since we are bad at sifting through huge amounts of data and finding needles in haystacks. Our data scientists and engineers, working with SOF mission and domain experts, develop the right data strategies and algorithms so that AI cuts out the noise and exploits relevant data for SOCOM leaders to efficiently gain insights and make high-level decisions.

SAIC’s data scientists and engineers are also leveraging hyperautomation to rapidly automate repetitive data handling and management processes. Hyperautomation uses robotic process automation with AI to crunch data and output analytics, from which humans in the loop can glean trends and nuanced information that machines can’t.

Digital transformation is promising to evolve warfighting, and SAIC produces technology solutions that give SOCOM and SOF personnel advantages during conflicts. That means taking the pain out of IT and data, so instead of looking for communications access while on the move, or struggling with application services speed or waiting for data, warfighters have what they need to finish their missions. Together, SOCOM and SAIC can drive these innovations.
