Vannevar Labs demonstrated AI agents at SOF Week that compress military planning, targeting, and intelligence analysis from days to minutes by automating staff-level work across existing data and tools without requiring platform migration. The company is fielding 'warfighting agents' across six US combatant commands and federal agencies through a partnership with SMX.
This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of AI Agents and Defense Tech.
◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
If you build targeting data, geospatial intelligence, or operational planning tools for defence, Vannevar just proved the buyer isn't the planner anymore—it's the AI control plane sitting on top of all of it. You're now a data source or a module, not the decision-maker.
