Today, the U.S. Department of Defense faces a critical inflection point: evolve with speed or risk falling behind. Adversaries are developing sophisticated tools to degrade communications, disrupt logistics, and outmaneuver traditional command-and-control models. In response, the DoD must rethink its operational doctrine to embrace a new strategic asset: autonomous AI.
At Seekr, we believe that autonomous AI agents—AI systems capable of perceiving, deciding, and acting independently in complex environments—are no longer a futuristic concept. They are a battlefield necessity. Our new eBook, Outpacing the Adversary: How Autonomous AI Will Define the Future of Modern Warfare, explores how the DoD can harness agentic AI to deliver tactical and strategic advantage across the multi-domain battlespace.
From advantage to necessity
During the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts, U.S. forces benefited from permissive environments and unparalleled access to centralized intelligence. But future operations won’t afford those luxuries. In contested, degraded, and disconnected environments, the ability to push decision-making to the edge becomes essential. Human-led command structures alone cannot match the pace or complexity of tomorrow’s threats.
Agentic AI enables the DoD to distribute intelligence and decision-making to the tactical edge—where warfighters need it most. Through modular, autonomous agents trained for specific tasks—from ISR tasking to predictive analytics—warfighters gain real-time, mission-critical insights even in disconnected scenarios.
Meet the moment with Project Thunderforge and Seekr
The DoD is already signaling the future. Project Thunderforge, led by the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU), is a major step forward in integrating AI-driven planning, simulation, and decision support into operational workflows. At Seekr, we’re aligned with this mission, delivering an AI agent orchestration platform purpose-built for mission-critical use.
What sets Seekr apart is our agent-first architecture. We’ve built a platform where autonomy is not bolted on—it’s foundational. Our autonomous agents operate seamlessly at the tactical edge, enabling warfighters to act faster, with greater confidence, even in DDIL (Denied, Degraded, Intermittent, Limited) environments. Whether it’s answering dynamic mission queries, guiding strategic resource allocation, or executing autonomous ISR operations, Seekr agents bring scalable autonomy to the fight.
Empowering the DoD through democratized autonomy
One of the biggest barriers to AI adoption in the military is usability. Seekr addresses this head-on with a no-code/low-code interface that democratizes AI. Analysts, operators, and mission planners can build, modify, and deploy AI workflows without needing advanced technical training. This enables faster iteration, greater flexibility, and more operational relevance—without waiting on a centralized data science team.
Our platform also prioritizes trust by design. Transparency, explainability, and human-in-the-loop control are baked into every AI recommendation, ensuring that operators can make confident, informed decisions in high-stakes scenarios.
Use cases across the battlespace
- For tactical operators: Real-time intelligence, threat detection, and precision targeting—all enabled by lightweight, containerized agents running at the edge.
- For strategic planners: Multi-agent orchestration for theater-wide campaign planning, wargaming, and resource allocation—powered by advanced large language models and simulation engines.
- For developers and analysts: Build, test, and deploy agentic workflows with reusable templates, Kubernetes-native architecture, and seamless edge-to-cloud synchronization.
Warfighting with an AI wingman
Autonomous agents aren’t about replacing humans—they’re about empowering them. By reducing cognitive load, accelerating the OODA loop, and enabling multi-agent cooperation across disconnected environments, Seekr enhances human capability with machine speed and precision. The result? A faster, smarter, more resilient force.
