Saab has secured a contract to deliver Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) models to ECS Federal as part of the US Department of Defense's (DoD) Maven Program. The company's Near Real Time (NRT) AI/ML models will be used by the US National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency and the DoD to support live missions and augment human analysis.

Saab's models will deliver maximum performance in accuracy and flexibility with minimal processing delay. The contract will be executed by Saab's new technology accelerator, Skapa by Saab.

Saab is rapidly expanding its presence and expertise in the AI and ML space, helping accelerate the development and deployment of technologies and solutions for a wide range of stakeholders. The company is thrilled to be the first new computer vision vendor brought on for the Maven Program, which will enable Saab to move at pace to solve global challenges and deliver needed capabilities to its customers.

The DoD's Maven Program is an AI system designed to process imagery and full-motion video from drones and automatically detect potential targets. The program uses machine learning to identify personnel and equipment, streamlining a process once carried out only by human analysts.

Saab has a strong track record of delivering AI/ML solutions, including contracts with the California Air National Guard for wildfire tracking, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to modernize the stability and control of surface vessels, and the Office of Naval Research (ONR) to increase battlespace situational awareness by automatically detecting and characterizing threats in complex environments.
