Bae Systems Offers Groundbreaking Ai on the Amazon Web Services Marketplace for Govcloud (Us).

BAE Systems, Inc | February 09, 2021

BAE Systems announced today it is offering a suite of groundbreaking man-made consciousness capabilities and another information naming service offering on the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Marketplace for GovCloud (US) to support basic public security missions. As a trailblazer in man-made brainpower (AI), AI (ML), and information science services, the organization is making accessible to U.S. government agencies a suite of AI tools to assist analysts with sifting quantities of information, signals, and symbolism. Also, the organization is launching its Data Labeling as a Service (DLaaS) on the AWS Marketplace for GovCloud (US) to support those customers seeking a service to perform information planning applying structured information methodologies, automation, and AI tools.

“Those on the front lines protecting our nation need the latest AI-enhanced information technology and advanced analytics to enable data-driven decision-making,” said Peder Jungck, Vice President and General Manager of BAE Systems’ Intelligence Solutions business. “Our agile and accelerated go-to-market strategy enables our U.S. government customers to rapidly scale the employment of AI across a wide array of missions.”

BAE Systems built up this first suite of inventive AI products as an outgrowth of the organization's work on research and improvement programs across the U.S. Division of Defense. Offering these capabilities on the AWS Marketplace for GovCloud (US) forms the foundation expected to quicken the fast hosting of extra capabilities created by BAE Systems or its partners. The commercial center also affords customers a fast method to acquire and use AI capabilities adjusted to the volume and speed information scientists need to work.

“AWS is committed to providing our government customers with the most innovative, efficient, and effective AI solutions,” said Dave Levy, Vice President for U.S. Government, Nonprofit and Healthcare Businesses for AWS. “By making BAE Systems’ AI capabilities available on AWS Marketplace for GovCloud (US), government customers have increased access to on-demand, scalable data analysis to support their missions.”

Creating information pipelines to use new AI capabilities and applying the proper information marking can be trying for government agencies to establish at scale or costly to do at small scale. As a result, to supplement these ability offerings, BAE Systems is also offering Data Labeling as a Service (DLaaS), which delivers on-request information marking for preparing AI/ML algorithms for mission use cases.

“The AWS Marketplace is an essential element of our AI/ML transition framework to help our customers facilitate the adoption of emerging technologies from across BAE Systems and select partners,” said Dr. Don Widener, Director of BAE Systems’ Advanced Analytics Lab. “We’re accelerating technologies from the lab to operations and making our software available via the AWS Marketplace to assist our government customer’s developers and data scientists in meeting their mission needs.”
