ARLINGTON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov 4, 2025--

Obviant, the data intelligence platform transforming how industry and government leverage U.S. Department of War (DoW) acquisition, contracting, and budgeting data, today announced a prototype award funded by the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU).

The award supports DIU’s Commercial team, providing an operating platform for the team and an authoritative data source of truth for defense acquisition data. The initiative will unify information currently scattered across requirements, contracting, budgeting, Congressional, and program records, providing leaders across the Department and U.S. Government with real-time data visibility, while also helping companies to transition and scale at speed.

“Obviant’s data provides commanders, program managers, analysts and companies a shared, real-time view of mission capability gaps, available solutions, acquisition routes, and funding options,” said Brendan Karp, co-founder and CEO of Obviant. “Our platform enables faster and better decisions, reduces duplicative efforts, and accelerates delivery of needed capabilities to the front lines.”

This effort is critically important as promising commercial technology often stalls before reaching the warfighter. Decision-makers lack end-to-end visibility into which solutions address which problems, how they can be acquired, and how they can be funded. Ingesting and unifying data from thousands of sources, including program documents, defense budget justification books, and Congressional reports, Obviant’s AI platform closes these gaps by providing role-based decision support, mapping capability gaps to available solutions, and making funding pathways transparent.

Any DoW and U.S. Government organization interested in actionable transparency and context across the defense procurement ecosystem will be able to access the platform through this agreement with DIU.

Obviant is a data intelligence platform that combines open-source intelligence (OSINT) on defense acquisition, contracting, and budgeting with customers’ own data, serving as the authoritative source of truth for decision-makers. By delivering real-time, accurate, and actionable insight across Department of War programs, Obviant empowers technology companies, investors, and government leaders to align capabilities with mission needs.
