KBR, Adarga form AI partnership

Global technology firm KBR has formed a partnership with artificial intelligence (AI) analytics software developer Adarga as a means of bolstering defense and national security initiatives, officials said.

Authorities indicated the collaboration would result in the integration of Adarga’s AI software platform into a number of large-scale programs spanning defense and national security sectors.

“This partnership is an exciting step to enhance our innovative and highly dependable solutions focused approach across key markets, with a shared ethos to help our customers resolve their most complex challenges,” Andrew Barrie, KBR president, Government Solutions EMEA, said.

Adarga’s Knowledge Platform enables rapid integration with partner programs and presently provides insights for the UK Ministry of Defence — producing faster, better and more informed decisions.

“Adarga is pleased to be partnering with KBR to expand the AI capabilities of customers across defense and national security,” Adarga CEO Robert Bassett Cross said. “Together we will be able to provide customers with a transformational ability to leverage data as a strategic asset — a vital element of modern defense capability.”

Officials maintain the partnership would accelerate the speed and scale at which organizations can adopt next generation AI analytics as a means of resolving complex data challenges while also allowing clients to garner foresight and understanding of information buried across expanding data sets.
