Artificial Intelligence Integration Center

The AI Integration Center plays a critical role in the U.S. Army's transformation process – it focuses on accelerating the development and delivery of high quality, AI solutions that are tailored to conform to Army requirements and integrates AI solutions into Army operations. This involves collaborating with stakeholders like defense contractors, academic institutions and military personnel, to ensure the solutions are scalable and meet specific user needs.

Our people and products provide technical skills, knowledge and capabilities that allow leaders to quickly understand the operational environment and improve decision-making. We execute this through three lines of effort that support the Army’s transformation efforts: Workforce Development; AI Integration Activities; and AI Product Development.

The AI Integration Center prioritizes building a technically capable workforce through the AI Scholar and AI Technician programs to develop data scientists, data engineers and AI cloud technicians for the Army. Additionally, it oversees the Data Driven Leadership course at Carnegie Mellon University and the AI 101 course to upskill leaders and everyday AI users.

PARTNER WITH US

Partnerships are essential to DEVCOM – they further strengthen our ability to deliver the Army’s Modernization priorities.

Collaboration

At DEVCOM, we believe in the power of collaborations and partnerships. Through these, DEVCOM expands the Army’s ability to experiment, evolve and deliver technologies to address critical capabilities.

DEVCOM also partners with the Army Small Business Innovation Research and Small Business Technology Transfer Programs, which give small businesses an opportunity to identify, develop and demonstrate highly innovative technologies for Army Soldiers.

Partnership Agreements

The two most common methods of partnering with DEVCOM are Cooperative Research and Development Agreements, and Patent License Agreements.

CRADAs allow one or more DEVCOM laboratories and one or more non-federal parties to enter into agreements to conduct specified research and development-related activities that are consistent with the laboratory’s mission.
PLAs are a method for private entities to license DEVCOM-patented intellectual property.

Synchronized Persistent Army Experimentation (SPARX)

SPARX facilitates persistent, coordinated, and streamlined experimentation for industry technologies entering Army experiments by enhancing coordination between experimentation stakeholders and improving the tracking of those technologies.

Industry partners are encouraged to submit technologies through SPARX for alignment with Army experimentation. The SPARX team of subject matter experts will review and refer technologies to the events that are best suited to demonstrate those capabilities.

Key features of the SPARX process include:

It is always open to new technology submissions.
Event leaders can search industry technology submissions to find technologies that meet their experimentation needs and can request participation in their events.
The result of industry technology submissions are continuously updated to better track the progress of technologies.

The end result is a streamlined process for experimentation with technologies that align with experimentation objectives. This includes a repository of technologies showing experimentation progress, results, requirements alignment, and transitions for further actions to a DEVCOM technological center or research laboratory, or other organizations.

To apply, industry partners should complete the SPARX Technology Overview Template found on SAM.gov, or copy this link onto your browser: https://sam.gov/workspace/contract/opp/46144b33ccaa476b8d55ebaa57af1061/view.

See the SPARX Industry Flyer: DEVCOM_0326_SPARXGateway_5x8.pdf.
