U.S. Army intelligence units around the world are receiving the Army Intelligence Data Platform (AIDP), enabling soldiers the ability to gather, analyze, and distribute information to units faster and more accurately than ever before.

The Army deployed and operationalized AIDP rapidly to units in all priority theaters in under 12 months, showing just how important this new and improved intel tool is to soldiers and the DoD.

“Twenty-four months ago, we were testing AIDP with intel units stateside trying to stress the system and fine tune the system to meet the needs of intel soldiers,” Brig. Gen. Ed Barker, the Program Executive Officer for Intelligence, Electronic Warfare, and Sensors said. “Thanks to early adopter units and user feedback, AIDP transformed into the intel system the Army needs to increase our effectiveness in multidomain operations.”

AIDP is a powerful tool for any intelligence unit supporting strategic and tactical operations due to its many features and ease of use. Major capabilities include data ingress, processing, egress, persistence, integrity, and discovery (query) and improved security and system administration. AIDP sets the foundation for future technology integration such as big data analytics, artificial intelligence, and machine learning.
