FAQ
About DefenseLogic AI
What does DefenseLogic AI do?
We help DoD teams—especially in the Air Force and Space Force—translate commercial innovation into fieldable, secure, and Software Acquisition Pathway (SWP)-aligned capabilities. From MLOps design to acquisition fusion strategy, we deliver the systems, tools, and integration support that get AI to the edge faster.
Who are your primary customers?
We work with U.S. Department of Defense program offices, prime contractors, and SBIR/SpaceWERX-funded innovators who need to integrate AI and advanced software systems into operational environments. See our Capabilities Statement.
Where is DefenseLogic AI based?
We are based in Colorado and support defense innovation programs nationwide. Our founder and team have experience working across classified and unclassified environments, both on-site and remotely.
Capabilities and Services
What is AI systems engineering?
AI systems engineering integrates AI/ML models into full mission-ready systems, including data pipelines, MLOps, security, and compliance—ensuring they work reliably in DoD operational environments.
What is Fusion Strategy?
Fusion Strategy bridges the gap between commercial trailblazers and defense titans, enabling modular integration, risk reduction, and successful transition of emerging tech into major DoD programs.
What is Decision Intelligence?
Decision Intelligence is the discipline of designing systems and workflows to improve decision-making. We apply it to defense programs to align data, AI, and human expertise for faster, more informed mission outcomes.
Do you help with the Software Acquisition Pathway?
Yes. We align AI and software delivery to SWP requirements, helping teams accelerate compliance and deployment while avoiding common transition delays.
Programs & Partnerships
Do you work with SBIR and SpaceWERX awardees?
Yes—we help SBIR and SpaceWERX teams align their innovations with DoD program needs, secure transition partners, and prepare for Phase II/III success.
Do you subcontract with primes?
Absolutely. We partner with prime contractors to provide specialized AI systems engineering, acquisition strategy, and technical capture support.
What NAICS and PSC codes does DefenseLogic AI use?
Our core NAICS codes include 541715 (R&D in Physical/Engineering Sciences), 541330 (Engineering Services), 541512 (Computer Systems Design), and 541611 (Management Consulting). Our key PSC codes include R425 (Engineering/Technical), R408 (Program Management), D399 (IT Services), and AJ13 (AI R&D).
Process & Engagement
How do you start working with a new client?
We begin with a mission strategy session to understand your goals, identify barriers to fielding, and design a thin-slice delivery plan to prove value fast.
What is a thin-slice delivery?
Thin-slice delivery means delivering a small, functional capability first—rather than a full system—so teams can test, refine, and deploy faster while reducing risk. Each slice demonstrates feasibility and deployment through production, because nothing is delivered until it is in production.
How does DefenseLogic AI accelerate prototype-to-production timelines?
We integrate engineering best practices, acquisition alignment, and rapid iteration techniques to reduce delays, streamline compliance, and get solutions into the hands of operators faster.
What makes you different from other contractors?
We combine deep DoD acquisition expertise with commercial AI delivery practices. We’re small enough to move fast, experienced enough to navigate SWP compliance, and focused on bridging innovators with mission owners.
Do you only work with AI projects?
While AI and decision intelligence are our core focus, we also work on software modernization, DevSecOps adoption, data architecture, and other digital transformation projects.
How do you measure success?
Success means operational capability in the hands of users—delivered faster, with fewer integration challenges, and with measurable mission impact.
Can you help with proposal development?
Yes. Our Capture Copilot™ tool and strategic capture services help primes and innovators produce compliant, compelling proposals aligned with DoD acquisition priorities.
