General Dynamics Information Technology is expanding its work with Google Public Sector to bring secure AI and cloud tools to the tactical edge for defense and intelligence agencies and modernize citizen services for civilian agencies.
Through this collaboration, GDIT will combine its decades of mission and integration expertise with Google Cloud’s AI, cloud and cybersecurity offerings. GDIT will integrate its Digital Accelerators portfolio onto Google Cloud to rapidly build and deploy solutions that help federal agencies speed up decision-making, strengthen security, deliver savings and advance missions.
The first focus area for this collaboration is a co-investment to develop mission edge AI tools. GDIT will use Google Distributed Cloud to bring AI and computing to remote and disconnected environments where communication is unreliable, restricted or cut off. Google Distributed Cloud provides a portable, ruggedized “cloud in a box” authorized to operate at the Secret level under Defense Department Impact Level 6 and lets users run workloads while offline.
The second focus area will help federal agencies modernize citizen engagement services using GDIT’s AI tools and Google Cloud’s Contact Center AI Platform. The solutions will draw on conversational, generative and agentic AI to create efficiencies and improve the citizen service experience across civilian and health agencies.
“In this dynamic and complex environment, federal agencies need industry partners to innovate faster than ever before from the tactical edge of the mission to the enterprise,” said Ben Gianni, GDIT’s senior vice president and chief technology officer. “This expanded partnership will enable us to jointly invest, develop and deliver proven solutions at speed to meet diverse demands and advance our national security priorities.”
GDIT said the expanded collaboration builds on its work with Google Public Sector and is a core part of the company’s technology investment strategy, which focuses on deepening relationships with commercial technology companies to drive innovation for agencies.
“At Google Public Sector, our mission is to bring the best of Google’s innovation to the government, securely and at scale,” said Jan Niemeic, Google Public Sector’s managing director of national security. “This strategic collaboration with GDIT acts as a force multiplier. It pairs our leadership in AI, cloud, and cybersecurity with GDIT’s proven expertise in integrating and delivering complex solutions. From modernizing citizen services with generative AI, to delivering critical communication at the mission edge, this partnership will accelerate the government’s digital transformation.”
