New blog post analyzing the DoD's budget and contracting data for AI and autonomous systems. I pulled data from linkedin.com/company/ob…to analyze:

🔴 Overall DoD budget allocated to AI and autonomous systems

⚪ DoD budget allocated to AI and autonomous systems by service

🔵 Major AI / ML and autonomous systems related programs and which vendors win those prime contracts

🔴 Prime contract value related to AI and autonomous systems by vendor

🔵 AI / ML related contract value by service

I also offer recommendations on how the DoD and startups can work together to accelerate the speed of AI and autonomous systems adoption.

Huge thank you to the Obviant team (particularly linkedin.com/company/ob… and linkedin.com/company/ob…) who helped me make sense of this data and thank you to Chris Berardi who allowed me to use some previous data analysis he'd done on the subject.
