The Agentic Era: Building the Foundation for Autonomous Mission Assurance

The transition from passive AI to Agentic AI represents a shift toward creating autonomous mission partners for defense and government agencies. This new paradigm utilizes a continuous cycle of planning, acting, observing, and reflecting to proactively achieve objectives, moving beyond reactive chatbots. Building this capability requires two foundational pillars: Agentic Execution for engineering resilient and interoperable agents, and Agentic Operations for securing and governing these autonomous systems. The strategic goal is to create a unified, standardized platform for AI that ensures interoperability, durability, and accountability in mission-critical environments.
