The artificial intelligence revolution comes with impacts and applications in many different fields. Cybersecurity, data management and customer service/experience are well-established as fertile ground for AI technologies, but the major players in the government contracting industry are now considering space as another ripe route for automation and unmanned systems.
“At Booz Allen, we are working at the intersection of space and AI,” Patrick Biltgen, principal at Booz Allen Hamilton, told ExecutiveGov in an exclusive comment.
Biltgen will be a panelist at next week’s Space Summit, from Potomac Officers Club. During his panel, he will converse with representatives from the Naval Research Laboratory, the Air Force Research Laboratory and Amazon Web Services about how to leverage AI to address and resolve threats in the space domain.

In Q4 2023, Booz Allen executives made clear their goal to secure $500 million to $700 million worth of government AI contracts in fiscal year 2024, according to Axios. They will use the funds to create products designed for defensive cybersecurity, computer vision that enables interpretation of images and videos and custom generative AI.
“We are examining ways to enhance mission functions like multi-sensor optimization, automated detection and characterization, and reimagining new user experiences that apply AI to human-machine teaming,” Biltgen revealed.
Biltgen’s colleague Steve Escaravage is helping to lead the charge of Booz Allen’s AI efforts and has been instrumental in shaping its AI program over the years. Read about why Executive Mosaic named Escaravage a 2024 Wash100 Award winner here.
