The company revealed its Missionforce program will now be partnering with OpenAI and Nvidia to bring in the former's frontier models, and also adding the latter's models and accelerated computing capabilities.

Missionforce gets smarter

“Government agencies want tailored AI that runs everywhere they operate while staying within the secure environments their missions demand.” said Kendall Collins, CEO of Missionforce & Government Cloud.

“Missionforce enables this at scale, with purpose-built AI that executes the mission and enables agencies to solve their hardest problems while maintaining operational control.”

This includes Operations capabilities such as turning manual, paper-bound processes such as procurement, supplier management, and invoice audits into digital workflows in just a few minutes, with specialized AI agents automatically running tasks, track status, and flagging exceptions in real time, all running entirely within private cloud or air-gapped environments.

Elsewhere, the company's Missionforce Field Operations & Asset Management tool means government agencies can now use AI agents to automate scheduling, work orders, and asset maintenance — all supported by native offline mobile capabilities for remote environments.
