Full Story
Raft, a leading defense technology company, has introduced a new platform called AIMS, short for AI Mission System. This innovative platform addresses decision-making challenges faced by various user personas, including acquisitions professionals, warfighters, policymakers and military decision-makers. That’s why it’s the weapon of the week.
Shubhi Mishra, Raft’s founder and CEO, highlighted the platform’s focus.
“Our platform is dedicated to helping users make more accurate and faster decisions,” Mishra said. “It is specifically trained on the doctrine and data that make these services possible, ensuring relevance and precision.”
What makes AIMS unique?
The U.S. military’s ability to collect and compile vast amounts of information is both a strength and a potential weakness. If crucial data fails to reach the right people, it can hinder decision-making processes. Mishra emphasized that AIMS is designed to bridge this gap.
“Unlike large language models trained on internet data, our platform is trained on military-specific data,” Mishra said. “It is tailored to the needs of pilots, soldiers, and other service members, making it highly effective for military applications.”
AIMS can integrate legacy systems with newly developed ones, providing streamlined solutions at speed, cost and scale and enabling users to make quick and informed decisions.
Before its public launch, Raft tested AIMS with acquisitions and contracting professionals.
“We found that the system increased their accuracy by 45% and improved their speed by 30 times,” Mishra said. “This demonstrates the platform’s potential to enhance efficiency and effectiveness in critical operations.”
What does AIMS do?
AIMS aggregates military data collected from various sources worldwide and delivers it to those who need it most.
“Users can ask questions and receive answers quickly,” Mishra said. “The platform is intuitive, similar to using ChatGPT or other large language models, but it is trained on their specific data and doctrine.”
While Mishra did not disclose specific deals, she mentioned that AIMS is generating significant interest.
“We are seeing a lot of potential users looking to onboard the platform soon,” she said. “This interest underscores the value and impact of AIMS in the defense sector.”
Raft’s commitment to empowering the U.S. military and government agencies with cutting-edge AI, machine learning, and data solutions is evident in the development of AIMS. As the platform continues to gain traction, it promises to revolutionize decision-making processes and enhance operational efficiency across various military and government applications.
