The 3.5-year timeframe provides revenue stability while the company continues to expand its defense footprint. The ORION platform's demonstrated ability to reduce analysis time from weeks to hours showcases the tangible operational benefits BigBear.ai's technology brings to defense operations.
BigBear.ai's ORION Decision Support Platform for the DoD represents a sophisticated application of AI in a mission-critical environment. Force management requires processing vast amounts of disparate data from each Armed Service, visualizing complex global operations, and supporting rapid course of action development.
The system's reported ability to compress analysis from weeks to hours demonstrates significant computational efficiency. This capability is essential for modern defense operations where situational awareness and rapid decision-making can have strategic implications. The integration of data from various Armed Services suggests robust data handling capabilities and likely sophisticated data normalization techniques.
The platform's application for contingency planning and crisis analysis indicates it must handle complex scenario modeling with high reliability standards. Securing this contract suggests BigBear.ai's AI solutions have demonstrated value in actual operational use at the highest levels of defense leadership. This practical validation in high-stakes environments is significant in an AI market often criticized for theoretical capabilities that don't translate to real-world value.
“We are honored to support the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff’s Office,” said Kevin McAleenan, CEO of BigBear.ai. “Winning this contract demonstrates BigBear.ai’s ability to deliver modern, AI-powered solutions that enable data-driven decision-making at the highest levels of defense leadership. ORION DSP plays a pivotal role in optimizing force structure, and we look forward to bringing our expertise in AI, data analytics, and software development to ensure mission success.”
The Directorate for Force Management oversees the structure, policies, and resources for the United States Armed Forces to maintain optimal force readiness and integrate its global operations. As the DoD continues to navigate evolving threats and operational demands, BigBear.ai’s modernization efforts will enhance ORION DSP’s scalability, adaptability, and analytical capabilities to support force planning. The contract will combine BigBear.ai’s deep subject matter expertise and advanced technical skills to continue development of the cutting-edge and mission-critical solution for DoD’s JPEC.
ORION DSP integrates data from each of the Armed Services, provides global visualization of forces in motion, and facilitates Course of Action (COA) development, refinement, and analysis to provide validated military advice to senior DoD decision makers. ORION DSP is used today to conduct strategic analysis of contingency, crisis, and major plans to inform operational, tactical, and strategic decision-making across the department. Additionally, ORION DSP has enabled analysis that previously took weeks or months to now be conducted in minutes and hours.
This contract was awarded through the Tradewinds Marketplace, the DoD’s premier platform for AI/ML procurement, and marks BigBear.ai’s second award through this contract vehicle following VANE’s awardable status.
