Customer: Department of Defense (DoD)
Partner: data.world
Industry: Federal Defense | Public Health Intelligence
Mission Objective: Detect and respond to emerging biological threats faster using explainable AI, federated data access, and secure, scalable technology

The Challenge

The Department of Defense needed a biosurveillance platform capable of identifying and tracking emerging health threats across massive, multimodal datasets—including sensor data, intelligence reporting, and public health sources. Legacy tools were not agile or interoperable enough to support modern mission requirements. Analysts were overwhelmed, and time-to-insight was too slow for an effective response. Trust in AI insights was low due to limited explainability and auditability.

The Solution

Cyberhill Partners, in collaboration with data.world, developed a secure, modular, and AI-powered biosurveillance platform purpose-built for defense and intelligence operations.

Key Capabilities:

• Federated, Metadata-Driven Access: Unified ingestion of structured and unstructured data using data.world’s knowledge graph to enable context-rich discovery and analysis.
• Explainable, Auditable AI: Custom ML models generate traceable insights with clear provenance—satisfying CNSSI 1253 and DoD explainability requirements.
• Anomaly Detection Across Modalities: ML flags patterns across geospatial, temporal, and text inputs—accelerating biothreat detection.
• Modular Architecture: Built with open standards (RDF, OWL, PROV-O, OpenAPI) for scalable, secure DoD deployment and integration.

Impact Delivered

• Reduced cognitive burden on analysts through anomaly detection and automation
• Improved early warning and situational awareness through integrated views
• Designed for secure DoD deployment in highly regulated environments
• Delivered a fully auditable AI solution aligned to federal governance requirements

Why Cyberhill

• Extensive track record of secure, mission-aligned software deployments
• AI solutions engineered for transparency, traceability, and trust
• Expertise in IC/DoD data protection and system integration
• Strategic partner to data.world and leading AI innovators
