Smack Technologies will prototype an AI-powered military planning system for US Special Operations Command under an agreement worth up to $7.5 million. The system is designed to generate and revise operational plans, putting AI decision support into a consequential setting where reliability and human control matter enormously.

Smack founder and chief executive Andy Markoff described the agreement and the system to DefenseScoop ahead of the company’s official award announcement.
