Air Unveils Powerful New Capabilities to Fuel Continuous Mission Readiness and Lethality, Bridging the Factory Floor to the Fight

ARLINGTON, Va., Oct. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- With new platform enhancements released today, Air is advancing Enterprise Readiness from intelligence to execution across the national security enterprise—driving the transition from static visibility to autonomous, mission-driven action.

"Lethality is ephemeral, and maintaining it requires a continuous state of enterprise readiness rather than static metrics," said Tara Murphy Dougherty, CEO of Air. "Our latest platform enhancements leverage AI-native orchestration to streamline complex workflows across suppliers and operators, directly connecting the factory floor to the fight. By replacing manual processes with agentic execution, this release empowers the defense enterprise to close the Readiness Gap and sustain a ready, lethal force."

Air will demonstrate todayʼs platform enhancements at an event featuring a U.S. Army senior leader customer at the Association of the United States Army (AUSA) Annual Meeting & Exposition 2026. Air will host the event from 3:00 – 3:45 PM today in Room 147A at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, DC.

The Readiness Gap

In the modern theater of operations, readiness is too often treated as a set of metrics to be monitored. A production delay at a manufacturing plant results in a manual status report; that report is followed by a series of emails, calls, and meetings; and by the time the coordination catches up to the reality on the ground, a combat brigade has missed its critical training window or a deployed unit finds itself operating with non-mission-capable equipment.

As military leaders have highlighted, Americaʼs ability to achieve speed to the battlefield is hindered by fragmented data, manual handoffs, and silos that separate the acquisition community from the operators in the field. Readiness, in this environment, is observed, measured, and reported—but rarely executed in real-time.

Today, there is a chasm between what the front line demands and what the enterprise is delivering. This chasm is the Readiness Gap, and it is growing.

Although the defense enterprise spends nearly $700 million daily maintaining and recapitalizing an arsenal valued at over $1.4 trillion, decision latency remains a primary constraint. An August 2026 research report from Oliver Wyman, a global management consulting firm specializing in aerospace, defense, risk management, and operational transformation, demonstrates that recovering just 30 additional "ready days" across the force would unlock approximately $20 billion in annual value.

Air exists to close the gap. Our AI-native agentic platform, Air Enterprise Readiness, is purpose-built to close the Readiness Gap and is today helping organizations spanning the U.S. federal government, allied and partner countries, and the industrial base achieve continuous Enterprise Readiness. More than $140 billion worth of national security assets are maintained ready in Air.

Air works by unifying the acquisition lifecycle—development, production, delivery, and sustainment—to treat readiness as a continuous execution loop. By integrating fragmented data into a single, authoritative readiness picture, Air transforms static, siloed reporting into dynamic orchestration, allowing the enterprise to identify risks, calculate trade-offs, and execute resolutions in real-time before critical windows are missed.

New Platform Enhancements

Todayʼs platform enhancements build on these capabilities, placing agentic execution directly in the hands of the customer to accelerate mission outcomes.

When a production slippage occurs, Air doesn't just surface the risk; it initiates the resolution. With its new agentic enhancements, Air coordinates work across teams by automating key processes, calculating trade-off spaces, reallocating components to priority units, and dynamically updating training schedules. Whether it is identifying 3D-printing capabilities at a nearby command post to bypass supply chain bottlenecks, or taking static assets and incorporating them into operational orders, Air moves the enterprise to a state of autonomous, mission-driven action.

"Delivering continuous readiness requires an AI-native system that moves beyond isolated tools available to warfighters today. Air provides an agentic platform driving mission outcomes day one," said Andrej Danko, Chief Product and Technology Officer of Air. "We are architecting our platform to automate complex workflows and ensure operators have instant access to critical insights actioned immediately when every second counts."

Todayʼs release introduces state-of-the-art capabilities designed to streamline how the defense enterprise coordinates complex work.

• User-Controlled Data Activation: Air is empowering the enterprise to bring its own operational reality into the platform. Users can now securely ingest, structure, and extract entities from their own data sources—automatically fusing them with Airʼs proprietary commercial data and purpose-built ontologies on the industrial base (market signals, suppliers, parts, and contracts) that internal systems often miss—making this comprehensive, integrated picture instantly queryable and actionable within the platformʼs Orchestration decision-support layer.
• Flow Orchestration: This capability moves beyond individual productivity to achieve team-level outcomes. Airʼs new "Flows" capability allows users to coordinate work across the enterprise, ensuring that dependencies between primes, program offices, and operators are managed systematically rather than manually.
• Action-Oriented User Experience: Airʼs new user experience is built to drive mission outcomes. The platform prioritizes clear calls to action—guiding users to the specific decision points and actions required to move the mission forward.
• Mission-specific Execution Centers: These centers align development, production, delivery, and sustainment into one coordinated execution system, with Air's capabilities packaged for each mission area into the Execution Centers.

Mission in Motion: A Scenario from the Field

Consider the high-stakes reality on the ground: an upcoming operational deployment relies on the synchronized fielding and training of the Mobile Brigade Combat Team (MBCT), combining Infantry Squad Vehicles with next-generation mobile counter-Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) interceptor systems. Managed across separate Portfolio Acquisition Executives (PAEs), these capabilities must function as a single, lethal formation. In the legacy world, tracking cross-program dependencies and resolving schedule friction required weeks of frantic phone calls, reply-all email threads, static slide updates, and disconnected spreadsheets.

Air completely transforms this paradigm across every phase of the lifecycle. Through Flow orchestration, Air instantly identifies readiness gaps, automates delivery and inventory reallocation workflows when production slips occur, and dynamically realigns training schedules in minutes rather than weeks. In the field, Air ingests raw operations orders to automatically populate Brigade Sync Matrices and builds real-time Digital Twins from vehicle telemetry. When a component fails in combat, Air identifies local additive manufacturing (3D printing) capabilities to bypass supply bottlenecks in hours. Finally, tactical maintenance data flows back to the PAE for automated failure analysis, closing the feedback loop to optimize acquisition before the next unit steps onto the battlefield.
