The Defense Innovation Unit has awarded contracts to three commercial artificial intelligence providers to develop prototypes for advanced AI tools designed to streamline budget execution and project management.
DIU said Tuesday it selected CORAS, GovSignals and Pryzm Dynamics to develop the AI-powered platforms as part of the agency’s Enterprise Workflow and Reporting Platform, or eWARP, project, launched in February.
Utilizing AI to Streamline DIU Operations
The project is in response to the current issues experienced in integrating technologies into the Department of Defense. Existing systems don’t have the necessary integration and transparency for tracking milestones, managing contracts and monitoring performance.
To address these challenges, the agency aims to enhance the efficiency of its program and financial management tasks by optimizing its operations and minimizing the need to perform manual tasks. Furthermore, the project aims to boost leadership visibility and financial reporting.
The three companies chosen to proceed to the prototyping phase of the eWARP project will develop different AI-powered platforms. CORAS will focus on creating a centralized system with AI-driven, configurable no-code components for integrating financial tracking, milestone oversight and vendor management into a single financial management tool.
GovSignals will work with Unstructured to develop an intuitive platform designed to process diverse data formats, support different enterprise personas, enhance data-sharing and adapt to dynamic mission requirements. Pryzm Dynamics will develop an AI-enabled centralized platform to enhance financial, contract and project management while facilitating collaboration and providing project status updates.
Jaime Fitzgibbon, AI program manager and contractor, said, “The goal of this project is to transform insight gathering from manual spreadsheet drudgery into an intelligent, responsive system. By harnessing AI and large language models, we’re deploying a solution that not only accelerates the discovery of insights but also establishes accountability through automated precision.”
