Joint Common Foundation (JCF)
The DoD’s Cloud-Based AI Development and Experimentation Platform
The Joint Common Foundation (JCF) is a secure cloud-based AI development and experimentation environment that delivers critical tools and capabilities to support the DoD’s pursuit of an AI-ready force... Think of it as the DoD’s AI App Store Purpose-built for AI development at scale:
- We’re the “Dev” in AI DevSecOps – we provide services, capabilities, and resources to build AI models
- Offers both cloud-native (AWS/Azure) and cloud-agnostic (open source) AI/Machine Learning (ML) tool sets up to Information Level (IL) 4. We are on a path to provide AI development capabilities at IL6 later in FY22.
- Provides tools and frameworks necessary to develop AI solutions tailored to the needs of the operational commanders
- Enables users at multiple levels of AI and data science readiness to experiment with and develop AI
- Partners across military service branches, combat support agencies, and the Intelligence Community to build technical support capabilities
- Cultivates DoD’s AI expertise and innovation through continuous development of instructional materials, AI blueprints, tutorials, and sharing of code
