USAF certification underscores the value federal agencies place
on being able to use near real-time and consistent data from
systems of record
C3 AI (NYSE:AI), the Enterprise AI software company, today
announced that the United States Air Force granted the Rapid
Sustainment Office's (RSO) Condition Based Maintenance Plus (CBM+)
program with a continuous Authority to Operate (ATO) at impact
level 5 (IL5).
A federal ATO is a security authorization process, and operating
at IL5 means the CBM+ program is processing data in a National
Security System (NSS), high Controlled Unclassified Information
(CUI) environment. Enabled by the C3 AI Suite and the C3 AI
Readiness application called the Predictive Analytics and Decision
Assistant (PANDA), the CBM+ program is the solution used by the Air
Force to optimize fleet maintenance, increase aircraft
availability, and minimize aircraft downtime.
By having a C3 AI–enabled program granted this authorization, C3
AI can operate in a USAF production environment and deploy
enterprise AI/ML capabilities across a range of Air Force use
cases. The ATO will also reduce the time it takes to stand up
applications for future government customers. C3 AI applications
can help federal agencies use real-time and consistent data from
systems of record.
“Achievement of ATO enables the RSO and C3 AI to utilize near
real time data and increase data automation, while ensuring proper
safeguards are in place,” said Chris Damani, RSO CBM+ Program
Office Chief. “The accomplishment will result in more accurate
predictions and enable better decision making, increasing fleet
readiness and give the USAF a decision advantage over its
adversaries.”
C3 AI is the first application in the USAF Cloud One to use
Amazon Web Services (AWS) Elastic Kubernetes Services (EKS) in a
production application at the IL5 level. Working together with the
RSO to earn this certification since September 2020, the
authorization permits C3 AI to directly ingest terabytes of
historical and incremental data from USAF systems of record at an
enterprise scale, including logistics, supply, maintenance, and
telemetry.
Additionally, the ATO permits C3 AI to:
- Ingest and utilize USAF supply, maintenance, status, and
utilization data across 22+ aircraft platforms to enable the
forecasting and predictive removal of components — ultimately
enabling higher levels of aircraft readiness and availability.
- Establish direct data connections to USAF systems of record to
receive both historical and incremental data feeds from national
security systems.
”We are excited to continue our work with the USAF and help
modernize their technology infrastructure,” said Ed Abbo‚ President
and CTO of C3 AI. “Following C3 AI’s expansion of its agreement
with the United States Air Force Rapid Sustainment Office last
year, C3 AI has supported the expansion of predictive analytics and
maintenance across the Air Force enterprise, as well as enhanced
RSO’s overall AI and machine learning capabilities. This
authorization recognizes C3 AI’s commitment to security and is a
critical milestone for our Air Force partnership which allows them
to innovate at scale.”
