Arlington – October 12, 2026 -- The Department of War has awarded Air a $200 million, five-year contract supporting the U.S. Army's Next Generation Command and Control (NGC2) ecosystem.
Contract extends Air's existing Army partnership through NGC2 development and testing
The award continues a longstanding relationship between Air and the U.S. Army. The company's Enterprise Readiness platform has supplied software for NGC2 from its inception through ongoing development and field testing. According to the company, the software removes operational bottlenecks, speeds mission planning, and shortens sensor-to-shooter-to-sustainer timelines.
AI-native platform turns frontline operations into live demand signals for commanders
Air's platform converts frontline activity into live demand signals. Commanders gain forward-looking visibility into supply stocks, unit capacity, and overall force readiness. The company says this moves sustainment from a reactive posture to a predictive discipline, reducing long-standing supply-chain friction.
Air capabilities supported Project Convergence Capstone 6 and 4th Infantry Division trials
Air's capabilities most recently supported Project Convergence Capstone 6 (PCC6), which the Army describes as its premier event for simulating realistic scenarios and testing future warfare capabilities. The company also built on field trials with the 4th Infantry Division.
I Corps becomes first unit as NGC2 moves from division prototyping to force-wide delivery
Air will work with Army and industry partners to deliver NGC2 software, starting with I Corps. NGC2 is transitioning from division-level prototyping to operational delivery across the force.
Air CEO Tara Murphy Dougherty said the award reflects the Army's continued trust in the company to power the future of command and control.
