Agility

Your Defense Marketplace Advantage

Your Defense Marketplace Advantage GRAIL Agility revolutionizes defense procurement by making opportunities visible and accessible for both suppliers and buyers.

For Suppliers:

  • AI-powered opportunity matching finds relevant RFPs, RFQs, and contracts across major defense entities (SAM.gov, NATO, UK Defence, etc.).
  • Enables component-level competition on specialized capabilities (guidance systems, sensors, etc.).
  • Provides complete-once compliance profiles for multiple opportunities.
  • Offers performance-based visibility to new buyers based on track record.

For Buyers:

  • Faster procurement cycles, reducing timelines from 12+ years to under 2 years.
  • Transparent supplier discovery with AI matching to qualified partners in minutes.
  • Uses Cost-Efficient Lethality Scores (CELS) for objective evaluation.
  • Offers real-time market intelligence on industrial base capacity.

Lethality

Data-Driven Weapon System Optimization

GRAIL Lethality replaces subjective evaluations with objective, AI-powered analysis: AI Assisted Lethality Scoring:

  • Seconds, not months to test thousands of weapon configurations across environmental conditions
  • Complete scenario derivatives including GPS-denied combat, winter fog, urban warfare, and electronic warfare
  • Digital twin technology enabling instant "what-if" analysis for component upgrades
  • CELS scoring (Cost-Efficient Lethality Scores) providing transparent kill probability vs. normalized cost metrics
  • TELS Scoring (Target Efficiency Lethality Scores) providing objective measuring of platform vs target efficiency
  • HALO (Human and Logistics Overhead) quantitative calculation of support infrastructure costs to achieve desired end states

From guesswork to certainty – make procurement decisions backed by thousands of simulations and objective data.
