"According to the Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth's memorandum on the Strategy, this AI-first status is to be achieved through four broad aims: Incentivizing internal DOD experimentation with AI models. Identifying and eliminating bureaucratic obstacles in the way of model integration. Focusing the U.S.'s military investment to shore up the U.S.'s "asymmetric advantages" in areas including AI computing, model innovation, entrepreneurial dynamism, capital markets, and operational data."
"The initial set of seven PSPs will coalesce around seven specific mission areas grouped into three categories: Warfighting Swarm Forge: a "competitive mechanism" between U.S. forces and elite tech innovators. Agent Network: Development and experimentation with AI Agents for battle management and decision-support. Ender's Foundry: AI-enabled simulation capabilities, including simulation-development (sim-dev) and simulation-operations (sim-ops) feedback loops. Intelligence Open Arsenal: Technical Intelligence (TechINT)-to-capability development pipeline acceleration. Project Grant: Transforming deterrence from "static postures" to "dynamic pressure with interpretable results.""
The Department of Defense aims to become AI-first through four broad aims: incentivizing internal DOD experimentation with AI models, removing bureaucratic obstacles to model integration, focusing military investment to preserve asymmetric AI-related advantages, and initiating Pace-Setting Projects (PSPs). The PSPs will address infrastructure, data, models, policies, and talent with tangible, outcome-oriented efforts. The initial seven PSPs span warfighting, intelligence, and enterprise mission areas. Warfighting projects include Swarm Forge, Agent Network, and Ender's Foundry. Intelligence projects include Open Arsenal and Project Grant. Enterprise projects include GenAI.mil and Enterprise Agents. PSPs will have program leaders and must demonstrate progress.
