BigBear.ai, U.S. Navy Exercising Maritime Domain AI Orchestration at Mission Autonomy Proving Ground (MAPG)

COLUMBIA, Md. — October 31, 2024 — BigBear.ai (NYSE: BBAI), a premier technology provider of AI for defense and national security, today announced its participation in the U.S. Navy’s Mission Autonomy Proving Ground (MAPG) series of exercises in the second half of 2024, providing maritime domain awareness and AI orchestration. In collaboration with the U.S. Navy, BigBear.ai is showcasing ConductorOS, the company’s AI, data and sensor orchestration platform to demonstrate multi-vendor interoperability and AI deployment for the maritime domain.

MAPG is the Navy’s play in the Pentagon-wide Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2) initiative, which seeks to unite sensors, AI models, and hardware from across the military into one network, using artificial intelligence to enhance the efficacy of missions. The overall goal of MAPG is to advance cutting-edge capabilities to be used in the U.S. Navy and DoD-wide systems for counter near-peer adversary threats as rapidly as possible.

The MAPG exercises provide a proving ground for industry partners to demonstrate their capabilities, enabling the government to assess their performance at a series of field exercises with real-world, scaled battlespace operations. Proven capabilities can then be integrated into the fleet at echelon and scale.

BigBear.ai’s participation with ConductorOS aims to showcase expertise in deployment of AI algorithms in real-time using edge-deployed route forecasting for adversary vessels (both manned and unmanned), as well as third party vendor algorithms.

“BigBear.ai is honored to participate in the U.S. Navy’s MAPG, as this event is a pivotal moment to demonstrate the power of AI orchestration for interoperability in maritime domains at the edge,” said Robert Wedertz, Senior Vice President, Federal at BigBear.ai. “Our real-time route forecasting for adversarial vessels provides the Navy with a critical advantage, and by unifying sensors, drones, and AI models in action across the domain, we’re paving the way for a battlefield of seamless technological collaboration.”
