The US Air Force Global Strike Command to Boost Aircraft Availability and Mission-Readiness with Virtualitics

Virtualitics AI Platform will provide commanders, airmen, and warfighters actionable data to predict  maintenance and manpower needs, optimize supply chain applications, and manage inventory. 

PASADENA, Calif., Nov. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Virtualitics, an Artificial Intelligence and Data Exploration company, today announced that Air Force Global Strike Command (AFGSC), a major command of the United States  Air Force, has expanded its partnership with Virtualitics to establish a Center of Excellence and deliver  AI-enabled software solutions for the bomber and missile weapon systems to increase aircraft  availability and mission readiness. With Virtualitics, AFGSC will benefit from industry-leading technology  to deliver predictive maintenance, inventory management, supply chain optimization, and manpower  resource allocation. Connecting these enterprise solutions ensures that not only are aircraft  maintenance needs identified, but they are also aligned with the exact resources and parts available.

The USAF has been working to improve Mission-Capable rates, the principle metric that indicates the  health and readiness of an aircraft fleet. AFGSC will deploy AI to predict aircraft failure and raise MC  rates with Virtualitics. Technicians are matched to the right job and can proactively address critical  issues during routine maintenance and avoid unplanned downtime while keeping mission-critical aircraft  airworthy. 

Virtualitics focuses on leveraging explainable AI techniques that foster a level of transparency that  enables stakeholders to clearly understand the "why" behind a prediction, and even drill deeper into the  raw data. Ultimately, the Virtualitics AI platform gives AFGSC improved decision-making across all  echelons, from the Commander's office to the wing and down to the warfighter. Virtualitics has worked  with AFGSC for three years, and these new use cases represent a significant expansion of the  partnership and AFGSC's dedication to bringing advanced AI capabilities to the battlefield.

"Predictive maintenance will absolutely change the game for commanders," said Maj. General Jeff  Taliaferro, U.S. Air Force (Ret), "Virtualitics makes it possible for not only improved day-to-day decisions  but even more importantly deployment decisions. Knowing in advance an aircraft will need a major  repair before deployment will enable much better decisions that could save missions and millions of  taxpayer dollars."

"We're extremely proud to grow our partnership with the United States Air Force to solve some of the  world's most complicated problems and support vital missions carried out across the globe," said  Michael Amori, CEO and co-founder of Virtualitics. "The partnership reiterates Virtualitics' momentum in

the Federal space. Gartner named us a 2022 Cool Vendor for analytics and data science, and that  recognition is only reaffirmed when we earn the trust of organizations as well-respected as AFGSC."

The partnership furthers the AFGSC mission which states, "We must continue to hone our ability to  compete strategically, modernize capabilities, and increase capacity to succeed in a high-intensity  conflict. In tomorrow's high-end operational environment, we as Strikers will be stressed and tested in  ways we have never seen. Our AFGSC Strategic Plan focusing on People, Mission, Modernize and Engage  will guide AFGSC to best prepare for tomorrow's challenges and win against our nation's adversaries." 

Virtualitics, Inc., the Intelligent Exploration company, harnesses the power of AI- and machine learning guided data exploration to transform organizations. Data exploration is the foundation of today's AI  initiatives, but traditional methods are shallow and incomplete and leave companies with a narrow and  biased understanding of their data. Virtualitics changes this, enabling data teams to quickly and  thoroughly explore all of their data by using AI and machine learning to automatically discover patterns  and meaning in their data. Rich 3D visuals and VR experiences enhance understanding, so teams and  stakeholders move forward strategically with a strong foundation that guides smarter business decisions  and AI initiatives. The company's patented technology is based on over 15 years of research at the  California Institute of Technology and tested, proven, and depended on by the Federal Government.
