Booz Allen Maps the Next Wave of Tech for USG in 2025

New insights offer actionable strategies to harness AI, cybersecurity, and data for mission impact

MCLEAN, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Booz Allen Hamilton today released its third edition of Velocity, the advanced technology company’s annual publication that provides a forward-looking analysis of emerging technologies and innovation trends poised to transform federal operations in the coming years..

This edition of the magazine explores how federal agencies can accelerate mission impact by harnessing AI-driven ecosystems, reimagining cybersecurity resilience standards, and optimizing data-driven decision-making across critical domains. As the leading provider of both AI and cybersecurity services with more than 110 years supporting the federal government through 20 presidential transitions, Booz Allen remains uniquely positioned to support missions of national importance via next wave tech.

“We’re at a crucial inflection point where the right tech investment strategy will influence our nation’s ability to adapt to emerging threats, scale services to meet citizen needs, and evolve to meet the global challenges of tomorrow,” said Bill Vass, chief technology officer at Booz Allen. “To maintain technological superiority in a world increasingly saturated with new threats, federal agencies must shift their focus from single-use solutions that address a specific mission need, to embrace a more interconnected strategy that harnesses the power of data, software, and intelligent automation. Realizing this approach will increase efficiency and deliver long term versatility and adaptability in the government tech stack, resulting in positive outcomes for the nation.”

Preview of key takeaways from this year’s edition of Velocity:

• The concept of the modern flywheel, developed by Booz Allen’s new CTO Bill Vass, takes center stage, emphasizing the interconnected nature of the critical innovations that will shape much of the geopolitical landscape in the coming years, including AI, cybersecurity, digital twins, and quantum information science & technology (QIST).
• Catalyzing America's Innovation Power: Early adoption within the federal government allows the U.S. to maintain our position as the world's leading technology power. A crucial part of this equation will be the creation of a new model for public-private collaboration.
• The Evolution of AI: AI is shifting from narrowly defined applications to sophisticated agent-based systems capable of autonomous decision-making and collaboration. This transformation requires a foundation of interoperability and accountability to ensure alignment with mission objectives and ethical standards.
• Cyber Resilience in a Complex Threat Landscape: Federal agencies must adopt proactive, real-time defense mechanisms to counter increasingly sophisticated cyber threats. Emerging solutions include AI-driven threat detection, adaptive response strategies, and the integration of post-quantum cryptographic techniques to safeguard critical systems.
• Decision Advantage for Defense and Beyond – Advanced analytics and intelligent systems are revolutionizing decision-making in defense and civilian operations. From reconstructing tactical mission lifecycles by leveraging digital twins to deploying AI at the edge and even in space, agencies can achieve enhanced situational awareness and operational efficiency.
• Unlocking the Power of Data – Data-centric technologies are transforming mission execution by providing actionable insights through advanced analytics, enhanced situational awareness, automation, and cloud-based platforms. Innovations in space-based systems and next-generation sensemaking capabilities are empowering federal agencies to operate with greater agility and precision.
