RESTON, Va., March 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Cyberhill Partners, in partnership with data.world and KUNGFU.AI, has been awarded a contract with the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) to develop a modernized platform to enhance Department of Defense (DoD) biosurveillance capabilities using artificial intelligence, machine learning, and advanced data analytics. The program will be led by the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Nuclear, Chemical, and Biological Defense Programs.

The selection follows a rigorous evaluation process in which 78 companies submitted solutions. The program, led by the Chemical and Biological Defense (CBD) program in partnership with the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU), aims to enhance the DoD’s ability to detect and respond rapidly to emerging biological threats.

“DoD must provide the Joint Force with revolutionary capabilities to deter or prevail against adversary’s biological weapons,” said Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense Ian Watson for CBD. “Leveraging AI, machine learning, and big data analytics will transform biosurveillance into a predictive and responsive capability during competition, crisis, and conflict.”

Cyberhill is working in partnership with data.world and KUNGFU.AI to deliver an integrated solution combining secure software infrastructure, knowledge-graph-based analytics, and AI-powered threat detection. Cyberhill brings deep experience delivering secure enterprise technologies in classified and mission-critical environments.

“At Cyberhill, we have seen how important it is to get leading-edge commercial software in the hands of the warfighter,” said Jake McAndrew, Partner at Cyberhill Partners. “We are proud to stand alongside our partners to drive private-sector innovation at the speed and efficiency required to meet the mission’s demands.”

The prototype will undergo evaluation in simulated threat environments to measure its performance in providing real-time decision support and operational readiness.

“The ability to rapidly identify and assess biological threats is critical to national security,” said RDML Brandon Taylor, DHA Public Health Director. “By incorporating commercial innovation, we will strengthen our biosurveillance infrastructure and ensure we stay ahead of emerging threats.”

This initiative represents a critical advancement in integrating commercial innovation into national security operations. Through its role in strengthening biosurveillance capabilities, Cyberhill helps ensure the DoD remains prepared to detect and respond to emerging biological threats before they escalate into significant risks.
