C3.ai gets 1st three orders in five year $500M pact with U.S. MDA

C3 AI has received the first three orders in its five-year, $500M Production-Other Transaction Agreement sponsored by the U.S. Missile Defense Agency or MDA, which will be applicable across the Department of Defense . All three orders will leverage the C3 AI Platform to accelerate deployment of critical enterprise artificial intelligence capabilities across the MDA. "An enterprise AI platform that allows for credible assessment of combined kinetic and non-kinetic effects across domains is critical to optimize and correctly evaluate missile defense mission effectiveness," said Ed Abbo, C3 AI President and CTO. "We are thrilled to fulfill the MDA’s first three orders in our five-year partnership." "The insights extracted from large volumes of sensor, network, and weapon system test data are critical to analyzing the operational effectiveness, suitability, and survivability of the Missile Defense System," said Dr. Shari Feth, MDA Innovation Science and Technology Director. "The deployment of an enterprise AI platform has allowed MDA to demonstrate robust end-to-end capabilities for collaborating on AI model development and rapidly deploying insights into new production applications."
