AI Dominance

Chief Digital & Artificial Intelligence Office

The mission

Accelerating DoW adoption of data, analytics, and artificial intelligence from the boardroom to the battlefield to enable decision advantage.

Our priorities

Advancing deterrence by ensuring our warfighters have the best digital capabilities.

Beating bureaucracy by ensuring our critical business functions have the digital solutions to deliver for warfighters and taxpayers.

Achieving an “AI-first” warfighting force by executing a set of “Pace-Setting Projects” (PSP) that will demonstrate the accelerated pace of execution, focus, and ethos we need to stay ahead.
