Two SBIR Awards Accelerate Deployment of AI/ML for Situational Awareness and Warfighter Decision Support
VIENNA, Va., May 29, 2025 -- Seekr, the trusted AI company for government, announced today that it has been awarded two U.S. Army SBIR contracts focused on Generative AI (GenAI), Large Language Models (LLMs), and Machine Learning for military applications and mission-critical use cases. Both awards fall within the Office of the Undersecretary of Defense (OUSD) Research & Engineering Critical Technology Area of "Trusted AI and Autonomy."
Seekr has secured two SBIR contracts to advance military-grade AI. In a Direct to Phase II award, Seekr is partnering with Project Linchpin— the Army's initiative to shape future AI/MLOps capabilities—for rapid development and deployment of advanced analytics across PEO IEW&S sensor modernization. Seekr will develop enhanced LLMs to detect bias, correct inaccuracies, fuse multimodal data, and distill complex inputs into actionable intelligence across Acquisition, Intelligence, Operations, and Logistics. In a Phase I award, Seekr will develop cutting-edge AI/ML for edge and austere environments, leveraging its expertise in translation, summarization, Q&A, and synthetic data generation—while pushing the frontier in Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), adversarial validation, compute optimization, and collaborative AI for autonomous systems.
Project Linchpin provides the U.S. Army's standardized process for demonstrating and testing AI and machine learning operations, aimed at building a trusted AI pipeline for AI-enabled systems by delivering secure, reliable, and trustworthy AI capabilities through an operations and services ecosystem that facilitates the accelerated adoption of AI technologies.
"These awards are a powerful validation of Seekr's mission to strengthen U.S. defense with trusted, mission-ready AI for military use," said Rob Clark, President of Seekr. "Trustworthy, accurate and explainable AI at the tactical edge will transform how the Army makes real-time, high-stakes decisions on the battlefield. These SBIRs fast-track the military's ability to operationalize commercial, dual-use AI in the most demanding environments—to quickly and safely modernize warfighting, improve efficiencies, and most importantly, increase lethality."
These SBIR wins recognize the role of applying commercially proven AI technology to transform and modernize the U.S. Army, providing trustworthy and transparent AI to decision makers.
