GDIT introduces DOGMA AI to speed government decision-making. General Dynamics Information Technology has launched its Defense Operations Grid Mesh Accelerator AI solution, known as DOGMA, for use across the federal government. DOGMA integrates AI, machine learning, cloud computing and satellite connectivity to help agencies process and analyze data faster and make decisions in complex operational environments. Part of GDIT's Mission AI portfolio, the solution can be deployed anywhere, from a single laptop to devices operating in low Earth orbit, and tailored to specific mission needs. The platform supports defense, intelligence and civilian use cases, including aerial threat detection, critical infrastructure protection, intelligence analysis, border security, natural disaster early warning, public safety monitoring, transportation optimization and smart city traffic management. "As mission environments grow more connected and complex, speed and precision in decision-making have never been more critical," said Brian Sheridan, GDIT senior vice president for defense. "DOGMA will enable operators to act on information faster, anticipate emerging threats and maintain decision advantage. Agencies across the government can use this solution to support our nation's most vital priorities." GDIT said it demonstrated DOGMA during multiple military exercises last year. At the Technology Readiness Experimentation Event, known as T-REX-25-2, the company used the solution to monitor unmanned aerial systems, cutting decision-making time from 30 minutes to 3 seconds. During Cyber Fortress 2025, a simulated cyber and physical attack on a power grid, GDIT used DOGMA to deliver real-time visibility into aerial threats and support coordinated response efforts. Planned updates to DOGMA include quantum-safe encryption, adaptive large language model agents to improve human-machine collaboration, and expanded interoperability across domains and operating environments.
GDIT unveils DOGMA AI decision-making platform for defense, intelligence, civilian agencies. General Dynamics Information Technology has introduced its new artificial intelligence-driven capability designed to support accelerated decision-making across complex and contested environments. The General Dynamics business unit said Monday that the Defense Operations Grid Mesh Accelerator, or DOGMA, supports a wide range of use cases, including critical infrastructure protection, aerial threat detection, border security, transportation optimization and smart traffic monitoring, and public safety awareness. The Potomac Officers Club's 2026 Defense R&D Summit will host a panel on AI featuring top government and industry leaders. The highly anticipated event will also explore 5G and FutureG, quantum computing, and other innovative capabilities reshaping modern warfare. Secure your tickets before it is too late! What is GDIT's Defense Operations Grid Mesh Accelerator? DOGMA combines machine learning, cloud computing and satellite connectivity to process and analyze data. The platform can be deployed anywhere, including in low Earth orbit, and can be customized to meet mission requirements of defense, intelligence and civilian agencies. "DOGMA will enable operators to act on information faster, anticipate emerging threats and maintain decision advantage," stated Brian Sheridan, senior vice president for defense at GDIT. "Agencies across the government can use this solution to support our nation's most vital priorities." GDIT plans to add quantum-safe encryption, adaptive large language model agents, and expanded interoperability and connectivity across all domains and operational environments to DOGMA in the future. How has DOGMA performed in military exercises? GDIT has already demonstrated DOGMA's operational impact during multiple defense exercises. At the Technology Readiness Experimentation Event T-REX-25-2, in April 2025, the company partnered with Amazon Web Services to deploy DOGMA for monitoring unmanned aerial systems. During Cyber Fortress 2025, a large-scale exercise simulating a combined cyber and physical attack on a power grid, DOGMA delivered real-time visibility into aerial threats and supported coordinated response actions. The system maintained operations even in environments with limited or disrupted communications and power.
General Dynamics launches Virginia hub for on-site defense, intel tech development. General Dynamics Information Technology (GDIT) has opened the Mission Emerge Center in Springfield, Virginia, providing a hands-on environment to rapidly build and test advanced technologies for US defense and intelligence missions. The 5,200-square-foot (483-square-meter) facility is intended to give customers access to prototypes rather than presentations, according to GDIT President Amy Gilliland, with works focused on AI-powered mission analysis, high-performance computing, accelerated software development, cybersecurity, and sensor processing. The hub will promote partnerships with government and commercial organizations, as well as other General Dynamics units, and will support the activities of GDIT's DeepSky laboratory, which delivers a virtual workspace and enables secure remote collaborations. GDIT noted that it will showcase fresh solutions at the site, including Motion GEOINT, which integrates intelligence sources to detect moving targets in real time, and GeoInsight Mission Planning, which applies large language models to analyze geospatial data for faster decision support. The firm will also install 3D Augmented Reality Visualization, which creates immersive mission environments for troops, operators, and analysts. In addition to these products, the company is collaborating with Gulfstream Aerospace on processing imagery from aircraft-mounted sensors and Amazon Web Services, Google, and IonQ on AI, cloud, and quantum capabilities, all of which will also be featured at the center. "Advancements... reshaped our national security missions and our battlespace and intelligence operations," Gilliland stated. "Our investment in the Mission Emerge Center reflects our continued commitment to push boundaries and to enable our teams to transform emerging technologies into mission-ready solutions at speed and scale."
GDIT elevates Jylinda Johnson to SVP of Federal Civilian, Paul Nedzbala to Enterprise Business Office lead. General Dynamics Information Technology has promoted Jylinda Johnson to senior vice president of the Federal Civilian division, assuming Paul Nedzbala's former role as he's been appointed chief business officer of the Enterprise Business Office. "Paul and Jylinda's leadership, expertise and operational excellence have been instrumental in driving GDIT's strong performance," said Amy Gilliland, GDIT's president. "I look forward to the energy and perspectives they will bring in their new roles as we continue to strengthen our organization and deliver long-term value to our customers." In her new role, Johnson will lead the strategic direction, growth, planning and performance of teams supporting federal civilian, state and local agencies, the company said. Johnson most recently led GDIT's government operations and citizen services sector, where she led digital modernization initiatives for over 20 federal civilian agencies. As Enterprise Business Office lead, Nedzbala will oversee real estate and facilities, program support, technology shared services, security, supply chain and subcontracts.
