Smarter Networks, Stronger Missions: Enabling DoD Operations with AI and Secure, Adaptive Networks

The Modern Battlefield Demands a New Kind of Network

The Department of Defense operates in an era defined by near-peer threats, persistent cyber warfare, and the growing complexity of joint and coalition operations. As the battlespace expands into cyberspace and multi-domain environments, legacy infrastructure and conventional network strategies are no longer sufficient.

To maintain strategic and tactical superiority, DoD leaders are rethinking how networks are architected, secured and operated—especially under denied, degraded, intermittent or limited (DDIL) conditions.

Key Federal Challenges:

• Cyber Dominance: Ensuring freedom of maneuver in cyberspace while denying it to adversaries.
• Joint and Coalition Interoperability: Networks must securely interconnect across branches, partners and domains.
• Operational Agility: Communications and application delivery must persist, even during degraded connectivity or cyber disruption.
• Contested Environments: Warfighters need a network that is resilient by design and intelligent by default.
