BigBear.ai, a leading provider of mission-ready AI solutions for national security, announced a strategic partnership with Tsecond, Inc. to deliver AI-enabled edge infrastructure for mission-critical operations. The collaboration combines BigBear.ai’s ConductorOS orchestration platform with Tsecond’s BRYCK platform, enabling U.S. national security organizations to deploy AI more rapidly and reliably at the tactical edge.
“Edge AI must be fast, secure, and simple to deploy under pressure,” said Kevin McAleenan, CEO of BigBear.ai.
“Edge AI must be fast, secure, and simple to deploy under pressure,” said Kevin McAleenan, CEO of BigBear.ai. “Together with Tsecond as a preferred partner for hardware at the tactical edge, we’re equipping national security teams with the ability to process data within seconds, detect threats sooner, and adapt quickly – even in disconnected environments – for decisive action when it matters most.”
The joint solution will provide mission-ready infrastructure that simplifies deployment and management of AI at the tactical edge, allowing tactical teams to make faster, more informed decisions without dependence on full connectivity or cloud compute. Key benefits include:
- Accelerates situational awareness through real-time, multi-domain sensor data processing
- Enhances threat detection and decision-making in contested or disconnected environments with local compute and storage to execute AI models independently of the cloud
- Delivers enterprise-scale AI available in compact, deployable systems
“This partnership combines the strengths of both companies by bringing AI capabilities closer to the mission,” said Sahil Chawla, CEO of TSecond. “By enabling faster situational awareness and more reliable operations at the edge, we’re giving warfighters the confidence and clarity they need to succeed.”
