Enlighten Demos AI Capabilities at DoD AI Industry Day

MacAulay-Brown, Inc. (MacB), an Alion company, announced that representatives from its subsidiary, Enlighten IT Consulting, LLC, attended the Second Annual Department of Defense (DoD) Artificial Intelligence (AI)  Industry Day on Wednesday, November 28 in Silver Spring, Maryland. DoD AI Industry Day is sponsored by the U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL), together with the Joint Artificial Intelligence Center (JAIC). Enlighten’s team conducted a live demonstration of its Big Data Platform (BDP) AI capabilities, as well as enhancements to its proprietary Rapid Analytic Deployment Management Framework (RADMF^®) for government experts.

The BDP is a government-owned, cloud-based analytics platform originally developed by Enlighten for the Defense Information Services Agency(DISA). It can be deployed by a DoD mission partner or government contractor in any environment. The company has assisted several customers in deploying their own BDP instances, and worked with them to obtain accreditation for the platform. Enlighten developed RADMF^® five years ago as a host of enrichment services for the BDP, and as a way to help facilitate adoption of the BDP across the DoD community. RADMF^® significantly reduces the time, cost, and number of engineers required to install, optimize, and maintain a complex platform like the BDP.
