DIUx awards contract to use AI software for Bradley

Chicago-based Uptake, an industrial artificial intelligence company, said today it has received a $1 million prototype award from the Defense Innovation Unit Experimental to build software for the Bradley fighting vehicle.

The company began work on the yearlong contract June 15 to deploy an application that will "predict component failures, decrease the frequency of unscheduled maintenance and improve the productivity of repair operations," according to the company.
