The collaboration brings together BAE Systems’ decades of mission knowledge in defense operations, systems integration and platforms, with Scale’s proven suite of agentic AI capabilities including the Scale Data Engine and Generative AI Platform. Together, the two organisations aim to integrate Scale’s AI capabilities directly into the architecture of the DoW’s most capable combat vehicles, deterrence programs, and future platforms.
Peder Jungck, Chief Innovation & Strategy Officer for the Intelligence & Security sector at BAE Systems, said: "Modern warfare is won at the speed of data.
"By teaming with Scale AI, we are ensuring that the Department of War has access to the world's most advanced agentic tools, to create intelligent, adaptive systems that can out-think and outpace the adversaries."
Zane Teeters, Head of Public Sector GTM, Scale AI, said: "We’re proud to collaborate with BAE Systems to bring agentic AI capabilities to America’s most critical military platforms.
"The value of this agreement is ensuring that human operators have the most advanced AI capabilities available on today’s platforms and systems, dramatically accelerating the time to mission impact for the Department of War."
BAE Systems stated that its effort to integrate agentic AI directly into operational platforms and mission systems will reshape the future of command and control, creating a true human machine advantage at the edge where missions are executed and that deploying capabilities such as BAE Systems’ Aided Target Recognition (AiTR) translates sensing into real time, coordinated effects across distributed forces, for faster, better informed decisions and more resilient operations in contested environments.
