Smack Prepares For Next Phase of Contract to Advance Navy’s Maritime Decision-Support Modernization

Today's warfighters are drowning in data. 

Modern military operations generate more of it than command staffs can realistically process, and as sensors improve and scale across domains, the challenge has moved from simply collecting information to helping commanders rapidly understand and use it to make better decisions.

This is why Smack was awarded a competitive prototype agreement to support maritime operational planning and decision-making. Smack's Omega decision platform leverages our proprietary AI models to assist commanders in analyzing complex data to support campaign and mission planning.

The Smack team is currently preparing to demonstrate the prototype's capabilities during upcoming operational evaluations. The award builds on Smack's portfolio of supporting defense prototyping and technology modernization efforts.

Programs like these demonstrate the growing importance of acquisition pathways such as Commercial Solutions Openings (CSOs) and Other Transaction Authorities (OTAs), which help connect emerging technology companies with critical defense challenges more quickly than traditional procurement pathways.

We're grateful for the opportunity to work alongside the operators, engineers, and acquisition professionals modernizing military decision-making, and proud to build together toward a future of Decision Dominance.
