We’re pleased to announce our partnership with the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command (DEVCOM). This dynamic collaboration will enable us to support the screening of breakthrough technologies using our operating system, Collective, powered by the latest innovations in generative AI.
Collective will empower the team to identify groundbreaking scientific and technological innovations worldwide, seamlessly integrating them into the Army's Science and Technology (S&T) ecosystem. Their mission is to strengthen military capabilities while driving societal progress through strategic partnerships and fostering transformative innovations.
Traditionally, these processes were handled manually by dedicated internal DEVCOM teams, which was both time-consuming and limited in scope. By incorporating AI agent technology, we dramatically increase the efficiency of these efforts.
Collective streamlines repetitive tasks like reviewing lengthy application forms, allowing human teams to focus on strategic decision-making by delivering curated shortlists of promising innovations.
Additionally, in support of the Department of Defence Small Business Strategy, which emphasises the under-utilisation of small businesses in defence missions, our involvement as a Small and Medium-sized Enterprise (SME) reflects our dedication to promoting greater inclusion of small businesses in defence contracting.
Our selection for this partnership also highlights the distinctive strengths of our Collective platform, especially its commitment to privacy and transparency, made possible by our proprietary air-gapped AI system.
Together with the US Army DEVCOM, we are committed to remaining at the forefront of technological innovation, ensuring military preparedness and national security through continuous advancements and strategic foresight. We are excited to embark on this journey, advancing our shared goals and safeguarding against potential adversarial threats.
“We are excited to work with Whitespace to develop tools to automate and expand our science and technology scouting processes – supporting and reducing the administrative burden and allowing us to focus our time and energy on the critical opportunities to connect within and expand our partnership networks” - Jonathon Brame, Basic and Applied Research Team Lead at US Army DEVCOM
