The Pentagon is searching for vendors to stand up the hybrid cloud platform its Joint Artificial Intelligence Center will use to build AI applications for the military.
The Defense Information Systems Agency on Friday published a pair of solicitations looking for both small and large businesses to provide “system engineering and third party system integration services” for the JAIC’s cloud-based development environment. The platform, called the Joint Common Foundation, or JCF, will serve as the main building and proving ground for the JAIC’s forthcoming AI tools.
Selected vendors would “support the procurement, implementation and operation of a hybrid and multi-cloud deployable development and production platform for artificial intelligence and machine learning solutions,” Pentagon officials said.
