Research abstract

Under this TACFI effort, Shipcom Federal Solutions, LLC will deploy a scalable, secure, AI-enabled Auto-Compliance Tool to improve sustainment decision-making, automate compliance checks, and streamline lifecycle management for high-priority Air Force weapon systems. Developed under PY 25.2 TACFI Sequential Phase II SBIR, AI Auto-Compliance solution supports the AFLCMC Weapons Superiority Division and the Air Force Armament Directorate. This 18-month effort builds on Shipcom’s Phase II AI/ML Data Fabric project (FA864922P0970). Powered by the Shipcom AI Platform, the AI Auto-Compliance solution will integrate machine learning, computer vision, and both predictive and generative AI to modernize depot-level sustainment operations. Core capabilities include:•    Predictive AI to forecast failures and plan maintenance proactively.•    AI-assisted diagnostics to accelerate ETAR review and reduce engineering workload.•    Generative AI to analyze unstructured sustainment data.•    Automated line-checking to validate 2D/3D MBD deliverables.•    Real-time anomaly detection and visual analytics to guide sustainment decisions. Shipcom will deploy AI Auto-Compliance solution in a government-approved environment and secure Authority to Operate (ATO) within the performance period. Integrated SecureGPT dashboards will allow users to query sustainment data using natural language, improving access to insights without coding or data science expertise.This effort aligns with key Air Force Operational Imperatives:•    O.I. 4 – Tactical Air Dominance: Enhances system reliability by detecting failures and compliance issues early.•    O.I. 7 – Readiness to Deploy and Strike: Streamlines maintenance prioritization and strengthens supply chain response for forward units. The Auto-Compliance Tool replaces fragmented, manual workflows with AI-driven automation and insight. It introduces a data-centric architecture that increases readiness and reduces sustainment costs. Beyond the Air Force, the Shipcom AI Auto-Compliance solution applies across the Department of Defense and federal agencies. Potential Phase III users include:•    DLA for AI-based supply forecasting,•    Army Futures Command for predictive sustainment,•    Joint Logistics Enterprise (JLEnt) for cross-service coordination,•    NAVAIR Sustainment Command for fleet maintenance,•    DoD JAIC for AI governance and sustainment automation. Shipcom’s AI Auto-Compliance Solution also addresses similar challenges in commercial sectors such as aerospace, healthcare, and manufacturing.
