Sakana AI has been selected by the Defense Innovation Technology Institute, under Japan's Ministry of Defense 🇯🇵, for a major multi-year research contract.
This is a significant milestone for us. Alongside Finance, Defense and Intelligence is now a primary core focus area for our company.
We are building an integrated system to analyze massive amounts of multimodal data across land, sea, and air domains. By leveraging our autonomous AI agents and Small Vision-Language Models (SVLM) designed for high-speed processing on edge devices like drones, we aim to automate the pipeline from raw data observation to information integration.
The ultimate goal is to modernize Command and Control (C2) systems, enabling rapid situational awareness and optimal resource allocation in critical environments.
National security relies heavily on information superiority. As a Japan-based AI company, we are proud to establish a dedicated domestic team of experts to ensure the secure implementation of our research. We are officially scaling our commitment to strengthening Japan's security infrastructure through Japan’s technological autonomy.
