Defcon AI builds software to plan, simulate and optimize complex military logistics operations from airlifts to multi-modal transport. Its system combines machine learning and mathematical optimization (initially using reinforcement learning) to generate plans that include cost tables, resource requirements and schedules based on operator-set parameters. Operators can ask the software to simulate adversary disruption and to optimize for different variables such as speed versus cost effectiveness. The company has earned around $15 million in government contracts and delivered a production deployment with Air Mobility Command less than two years after founding. Defcon is certifying its software to handle classified (secret) information to broaden DOD use and ingest more data. It is expanding capabilities to include trucks, trains and ships and reports growing interest from private-sector customers as well.
