["BigBear.ai Awarded Contract to Modernize Critical Department of Defense Force Management Platform\n\n**McLean, VA – March 10, 2025**– BigBear.ai (NYSE: BBAI), a leading provider of AI-powered decision intelligence solutions for defense and national security, today announced that the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) has awarded the company a 3.5-year, $13.2M sole source contract to support the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff’s (CJCS) Directorate for Force Management (J-35). BigBear.ai will deliver and maintain the DoD Joint Staff J-35’s ORION Decision Support Platform (DSP) which provides automated force management capabilities and data analytics to the DoD’s Joint Planning and Execution Community (JPEC).\n\n“We are honored to support the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff’s Office,” said Kevin McAleenan, CEO of BigBear.ai. “Winning this contract demonstrates BigBear.ai’s ability to deliver modern, AI-powered solutions that enable data-driven decision-making at the highest levels of defense leadership. ORION DSP plays a pivotal role in optimizing force structure, and we look forward to bringing our expertise in AI, data analytics, and software development to ensure mission success.”\n\nThe Directorate for Force Management oversees the structure, policies, and resources for the United States Armed Forces to maintain optimal force readiness and integrate its global operations. As the DoD continues to navigate evolving threats and operational demands, BigBear.ai’s modernization efforts will enhance ORION DSP’s scalability, adaptability, and analytical capabilities to support force planning. The contract will combine BigBear.ai’s deep subject matter expertise and advanced technical skills to continue development of the cutting-edge and mission-critical solution for DoD’s JPEC.\n\nORION DSP integrates data from each of the Armed Services, provides global visualization of forces in motion, and facilitates Course of Action (COA) development, refinement, and analysis to provide validated military advice to senior DoD decision makers. ORION DSP is used today to conduct strategic analysis of contingency, crisis, and major plans to inform operational, tactical, and strategic decision-making across the department. Additionally, ORION DSP has enabled analysis that previously took weeks or months to now be conducted in minutes and hours.\n\nThis contract was awarded through the Tradewinds Marketplace, the DoD’s premier platform for AI/ML procurement, and marks BigBear.ai’s second award through this contract vehicle following VANE’s awardable status.\n\nTo learn more about BigBear.ai’s force management initiatives, visit https://bigbear.ai/big-bear-ai-orion/.","BigBear.ai and International Shipping Compliance (ISC) Announce First Deployment of AI-Powered Supply Chain Security Platform in Panama’s Dry Canal\n\n**McLean, VA – May 20, 2026 –** BigBear.ai (NYSE: BBAI), a specialized defense technology company providing mission-ready AI for national security and trade & travel customers, announced that PTG (Panama Transshipment Group), the country’s largest logistics operator, has signed a commercial agreement to be the first to deploy a new AI-powered cargo security management solution – the International Shipping Compliance application – developed by BigBear.ai and Narval. PTG is already using the technology to increase supply chain transparency.\n\nNarval Holding Corp. and its subsidiary, International Shipping Compliance S.A. (ISC), launched the International Shipping Compliance application with BigBear.ai in August 2025.\n\nModern trade moves at extraordinary speed and volume. This new cargo security management solution provided by ISC and powered by BigBear.ai technology features layered intelligence using biometrics and advanced analytics to give operators a clearer view of where cargo is, who is handling it, and whether the profile of the cargo has changed during its journey. It increases visibility for customs and border security professionals, which reduces the likelihood that contraband enters the supply chain and increases the chances of identifying the risk early enough to react.\n\nTroy Miller, former acting U.S. Customs and Border Protection commissioner, joined BigBear.ai in March 2026 as Senior Vice President of Department of Homeland Security Solutions. Miller said:\n\n“Even the best customs and law enforcement agencies around the world can only physically inspect a fraction of global cargo. The answer is not slowing commerce. It is making supply chains smarter, more transparent, and more secure. Criminal organizations no longer rely solely on covert routes or hidden smuggling corridors. Today, they exploit the very arteries of legitimate global commerce—ports, free trade zones, trucking routes, and containerized cargo systems that power the world economy. That is what makes this new commercial deployment in Panama so significant, and why others can learn from the rapid implementation.”\n\nThe cargo chain-of-custody application co-developed between BigBear.ai and International Shipping Compliance S.A. (ISC), uses biometric verification to link drivers and transport vehicles directly to containers and security seals, establishing an auditable record of accountability from origin to destination. A centralized operations platform aggregates real-time fleet and driver data, enabling logistics operators to detect anomalies, monitor cargo flows, and generate actionable intelligence to disrupt smuggling and mitigate terrorism-related risks. By delivering verified, real-time chain-of-custody data directly to customs agencies, the platform can help reduce the manual burden of cargo inspection and risk assessment, giving authorities the intelligence needed to act quickly. The solution complies with BASC and C-TPAT international security standards.\n\n“Securing the global supply chain requires innovation, trust, and the ability to verify each handoff along the way,” said Kevin McAleenan, CEO, BigBear.ai. “By launching in Panama, a critical gateway for global trade, we are laying the foundation for broader regional adoption and collaboration with international shipping lines.”\n\n“The future of global trade depends on secure, trusted, and transparent logistics networks,” said Mario Pérez Balladares, Chairman of Narval. “Panama stands at the center of international commerce, and this collaboration with BigBear.ai represents an important step toward strengthening supply chain integrity across the region and beyond.”\n\nThe Panama Canal is one of the world’s most critical arteries of global commerce — connecting trade flows between Asia, the United States, Europe, and South America, and facilitating approximately 5–6% of global maritime trade. Panama’s port system serves as one of the leading transshipment hubs in the Americas, handling approximately 10 million TEUs (twenty-foot equivalent unit) annually, with nearly 90% tied to transshipment activity across its Atlantic and Pacific container terminals. It is a prime target for transnational criminal organizations seeking to move narcotics, contraband, and counterfeit goods through otherwise lawful trade flows. For example, in 2023, according to The Panama Canal Authority, Panamanian authorities seized more than 120 metric tons of cocaine tied to containerized cargo moving through canal-adjacent facilities.\n\nTo learn more about the cargo security management solution, visit: www.iscapp.com.","BigBear.ai Awarded 5-Year Production Contract Valued at $165 Million to Deliver the U.S. Army’s Global Force Information Management – Objective Environment (GFIM-OE)\n\n**COLUMBIA, Md. — October 14, 2024** — BigBear.ai (NYSE: BBAI) today announced that the U.S. Army has awarded the company a five-year, $165.15 million sole source prime contract for Global Force Information Management (GFIM) Production Services.\n\n“This contract exemplifies our unwavering commitment to the Army’s digital transformation efforts through our deep mission expertise and use of cutting-edge technology,” said BigBear.ai’s CEO, Mandy Long. “We are honored that the Army has selected us as a solution development partner, and we look forward to advancing this critical mission together.”\n\nSince 2021, BigBear.ai has been working with the Army to transform 15 legacy systems into an enterprise-wide intelligent automation platform, supporting the Secretary of the Army’s vision for data-centric force management. Building on the contributions through Phase 1 and Phase 2, this contract will support the continued development and transition of GFIM-OE capabilities to production.\n\n“For the past several years, BigBear.ai has been working to support the Secretary’s goal of ensuring the Army embraces new technologies to become a more data-centric fighting force,” said Ryan Legge, President of National Security at BigBear.ai. “As a leader in providing technical solutions, we are proud to continue and expand on our partnership with the G-3/5/7 and PEO-EIS to deliver this mission critical application.”\n\nThe primary requirement of this contract is to complete the delivery of a dynamic, integrated, and interoperable transactional global force structure and employment data system for the force management community. This system will enable effective planning, programming, and production of authoritative force structure data. Upon completion, GFIM-OE will empower senior leaders and combatant commanders to make data-driven force structure decisions more quickly and with greater confidence, helping to ensure the Army is properly manned, equipped, trained, and resourced.\n\n“The GFIM system will provide critical authoritative force management data that enables the Army to properly train, man, equip, and resource our forces,” said Andy St. Laurent, U.S. Army GFIM Capabilities Management Officer. “Over the past nine months of development, our team utilized the SAFe Agile Framework to work together and has moved closer to making GFIM-OE a reality.”","BigBear.ai and SMX to Enhance Maritime Domain Awareness for U.S. Navy 4th Fleet at UNITAS 2025\n\n**McLean, VA – September 23, 2025 –** BigBear.ai (NYSE: BBAI), a leading provider of mission-ready AI for defense and national security, today announced it will deploy advanced AI and orchestration technologies in support of the U.S. Naval Forces Southern Command/U.S. 4th Fleet at UNITAS 2025.

Taking place September 15 through October 6, UNITAS 2025 will bring together more than 250 participants from over 20 countries and all branches of the U.S. military.\n\n“Our participation in UNITAS 2025 underscores BigBear.ai’s commitment to equipping U.S. and allied forces with mission-ready AI that delivers real impact where it’s needed most,” said Kevin McAleenan, CEO of BigBear.ai. “In complex maritime environments – where illicit trafficking, illegal arms smuggling, and other transnational threats strain limited resources – our AI-driven insights can provide operators with enhanced situational awareness and the advantage needed to achieve mission success.”\n\nBigBear.ai’s domain awareness and AI orchestration solutions will be integrated across unmanned vehicles and hybrid fleet innovations during the exercise, contributing to a unified Common Operating Picture (COP). BigBear.ai’s Arcas™ system will provide computer vision, pattern-of-life analysis, and risk forecasting to help deliver near-real-time predictive and prescriptive insights during the exercise."]
