Mission Readiness

Balancing the Readiness Equation

Mission readiness is the critical enabler of our national security strategy. Avathon ensures that military personnel, assets, and systems are fully prepared today to meet the dynamic demands of assigned missions tomorrow.

Defense assets and systems are insufficiently ready to win the next war.

As recently as May 2023, GAO testimony to Congress reported that mission capability has declined since 2017 and spotlighted challenges the Department of Defense faces in rebuilding, restoring, and modernizing the military.

The DoD needs a commercially proven and scalable solution to mitigate the recruiting, retention, and effectiveness challenges in maintenance that compromise asset availability—a full spectrum readiness platform delivering efficiency and proficiency gains across maintenance, supply, and logistics.

Avathon's Industrial AI platform focuses on critical challenges facing warfighters and planners:

  • Skilled labor shortages and high operational tempo are compounding maintenance issues and delays.
  • Parts shortages, obsolescence, and poor supply planning are increasing lifecycle costs and decreasing aircraft availability rates.
  • Increased maintenance spending is crowding out investments in personnel and new capabilities.

How AI Enhances Mission Readiness

Maximizing Domain Awareness

AI enables predictive analysis and efficient problem-solving to address issues effectively and proactively.

  • Analyze decades of data in seconds
  • Predict causal factors
  • Fix it right the first time

Augmenting Skilled Workforce

Investing in machine learning and data analytics education, training, and implementation fosters the next generation of digital-native workforce.
  • Streamline workflows
  • Reduce time loss
  • Accelerate resolution for junior maintainers

Accelerating OODA Loops

Mission readiness anticipates the threat of peer conflict intensifying strains on sustainment systems. AI supports “fast and lethal” decision-making.
  • Reduced cognitive load
  • Tailored trend analysis
  • Actions informed by real-time insights

Solving the Problem

Addressing key challenges with AI solutions maintainers want to use, Industrial AI enables personnel to rapidly and effectively troubleshoot maintenance issues in complex weapons systems—leading to improved fleet availability and mission-capable rates, enhanced maintainer quality of life and retention, and improved overall force readiness.
