Overview

Corteq Solutions partnered with the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) to revolutionize military logistics through an AI-powered supply chain management system. The solution provided real-time visibility, predictive insights, and automated inventory management—empowering military commanders to deploy mission-critical resources swiftly and effectively across global operations.

The Challenge: Overcoming Critical Gaps in DoD Logistics

The DoD faced growing logistical challenges that directly impacted mission success and troop readiness:

• Disjointed Logistics Systems: Independent platforms across branches created data silos, slowing supply chain operations.
• Inefficient Supply Planning: Reactive supply management based on outdated reports led to stockouts and excess inventory.
• Poor Asset Tracking: Lack of real-time visibility resulted in misplaced inventory and delayed mission readiness.
• Operational Delays: Slow inventory replenishment disrupted deployments and humanitarian missions.
• Escalating Costs: Inefficient resource allocation and redundant orders increased overall operational costs.

To meet these challenges, the DoD needed a next-generation solution that delivered real-time data, automated inventory control, and predictive supply chain insights while ensuring maximum operational efficiency in high-pressure environments.

The Solution: Deploying the Defense Logistics Operations Platform (DLOP)

Corteq Solutions developed the Defense Logistics Operations Platform (DLOP)—a comprehensive, AI-powered system built to meet the unique demands of the DoD’s global logistics operations.

1. Predictive Supply Chain Management with AI

• Utilized advanced machine learning algorithms to analyze historical demand patterns and operational tempos to forecast supply needs.
• Enabled real-time procurement adjustments, reducing delays and ensuring stock levels matched mission requirements.
• Provided commanders with AI-driven risk assessments, highlighting potential supply chain disruptions before they occurred.

2. Real-Time Asset Tracking with IoT and Geospatial Intelligence

• Integrated a network of IoT sensors (AWS IoT Core) to track the real-time location of supplies and equipment from depots to deployment zones.
• Incorporated Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT) to monitor global logistics routes and identify potential environmental or geopolitical disruptions.
• Leveraged satellite-based telemetry systems for asset tracking in remote or hostile environments.

3. Automated Inventory Management with Digital Twin Technology

• Built an AI-driven inventory control engine to automatically monitor stock levels, reducing human error and ensuring inventory accuracy.
• Implemented digital twin technology, creating virtual models of supply chain operations to simulate and test different logistics scenarios for efficiency.
• Integrated voice-activated inventory controls, enabling field commanders to update stock levels and request supplies via secure, hands-free commands.

4. Secure Cloud-Based Logistics Hub for Multi-Domain Operations

• Integrated the system into the Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure (JEDI) cloud, centralizing logistics data from all DoD branches.
• Enabled real-time logistics dashboards, accessible by U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, and Space Force, ensuring synchronized multi-domain operations.
• Facilitated cross-branch collaboration through a common operational picture (COP), providing commanders with shared situational awareness.
