On April 21, Vannevar and SMX announced that they have entered into a strategic partnership to bring mission-specific warfighting agents to the Combatant Commands (COCOMs) and select federal agencies.
The partnership is designed to accelerate operational outcomes by combining Vannevar’s data, AI, and mission analytics capabilities with SMX’s enterprise-scale delivery, prime contract positions, and proven execution across all geographic Combatant Commands, select Service Components, and Federal Civilian Agencies. Together, Vannevar and SMX will oversee agent deployments with an AI-enabled services model, embedding mission and technical experts onsite to scale usage and mission outcomes.
Vannevar began working with SMX in 2021 to support Special Operations Command Pacific open source intelligence activities, and in 2025 expanded our work to provide agentic capabilities for interagency operations. Building on that work, the partnership expands joint delivery through deeper data integrations, mission-relevant datasets, and reasoning agents built for targeted use cases such as Western Hemisphere defense, counter-narcotics operations, and information dominance.
“Modern operations demand more than access to information. They demand the ability to turn disparate and complex data into timely insights that drive action at the speed of everything from competition to conflict,” said Erin Biggers, executive VP of mission at Vannevar. “This partnership is about rapidly fielding warfighting agents that fit how teams actually work, and delivering decision advantage that is measurable, repeatable, and ready to scale.”
“SMX brings a strong track record of delivering mission-critical capabilities at scale across the global operational landscape,” said Dana Dewey, president of global defense at SMX. “By combining our execution strength and mission footprint with Vannevar’s agentic capabilities, we can accelerate the transition from prototype to sustained operational- embedding mission-specific AI directly into end-user workflows and drive real-world outcomes.”
