DOD Seeks Proposals for Advanced Joint Sustainment Decision Tool

1 min read

The Department of Defense has started seeking proposals for a logistics support platform to replace existing systems and address the challenges of modern warfare.

Utilizing Advanced Tech to Boost Military Logistics

The Defense Innovation Unit said the joint sustainment decision tool will leverage advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning to enhance logistics planning and implementation. It is expected to provide realistic courses of action options and identify potential risks, enabling commanders to make faster and more informed decisions in contested environments.

The tool must employ agentic workflows capable of reasoning and real-time data adaptation, ensuring AI-generated outputs align with the decision-maker’s objectives. It requires an intuitive interface and must be powered by mathematically and academically verifiable algorithms.

The DOD will prioritize AI-driven platforms capable of storing, tracking and distributing mission-critical resources such as munitions, bulk fuel, and fueling enablers like air tankers and trucks. These platforms must also support the evacuation of casualties and patients, chain-of-custody visibility, staging for medical materiel, and sourcing of critical spare parts.

The new platform will replace Joint Logistics Enterprise, or JLEnt, the current global logistics network used by the DOD to sustain global forces, which is not equipped to meet changes in strategic competition and large-scale combat operations.

Interested vendors can submit their responses until Aug. 14.
