The Pentagon's counterdrone task force awarded Kaizen Laboratories a $15 million contract to build an AI-powered 'two-way' marketplace designed to streamline foreign military sales of counter-UAS technology. The platform, built from scratch and online for two weeks, supports the Foreign Military Sale Fast Lane Initiative by providing a single point of purchase for the U.S. military, allies, and partners. It uses AI workflows to help users describe their problem and receive a tailored technology package, while also automating paperwork for foreign military sales. Australia, Poland, South Korea, Romania, and the United Kingdom are currently approved to use the marketplace. Army Undersecretary Mike Obadal emphasized the platform's role in enabling networked air defense and interoperability. Kaizen plans to add features like test data integration, product comparison, and repairability catalogs.
