Seekr, the leader in explainable, defensible AI, and SNC, a global aerospace and national security company known for its elite mission systems integration, announced a strategic partnership to jointly develop and deploy AI-native capabilities across SNC's multi-domain mission systems.

Seekr CEO Pat Condo and SNC CEO Fatih Ozmen, along with former chairman of investment banking at Morgan Stanley, Cyrus Behbehani, will serve on a steering committee to oversee the partnership's strategic direction and coordinate pursuit of joint opportunities.

"By combining SNC's deep systems integration expertise with Seekr's explainable, high performance AI platform, we are building capabilities that deliver real-time decision advantage when and where it matters most," said Fatih Ozmen, CEO of SNC. "This collaboration strengthens our long-term strategic alignment and underscores our shared commitment to providing operators with the clarity, speed and confidence required to protect lives and ensure mission success."

Spanning air, ground, maritime, space and cyber domains, the partnership is focused on accelerating decision-making at the tactical edge from orbit to seabed, while enabling scalable integration across the entire enterprise. The collaboration establishes a repeatable approach to integrating highly effective AI into operational systems, with initial capabilities expected to rapidly transition into mission environments in as little as a few months.

"Seekr and SNC are focused on delivering AI that operates where missions happen by providing real-time, explainable decision advantage directly within operational systems," said Pat Condo, CEO of Seekr. "The goal is straightforward: give operators the best advantage, at the speed they need it with mission-critical accuracy."

SeekrFlow will serve as the underlying AI Platform for the partnership, enabling secure data ingestion, built-for-mission model training and optimization, agent orchestration and real-time decision support with built-in observability, governance and data provenance. The platform is built from the ground up to operate in classified, disconnected and resource-constrained environments.

The first integration brings advanced AI to aircrews, empowering them with dynamic course-of-action development, threat prioritization and alignment with established tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) based on real-time operational data.

Other AI integrations under development focus on TTPs for aerial defense, counter-UAS and ISR solutions. These integrations will support detection, tracking and engagement workflows across distributed, edge and contested environments. SNC's flagship command-and-control platform, SNC TRAX® Software, connects over one million systems on the network, a number expected to grow as autonomous unmanned systems production accelerates. Meeting that scale will require highly accurate AI enablement, which is a key component of the joint development partnership.

The partnership reflects a broader shift toward embedding native AI directly into mission systems to reduce latency, improve transparency and provide operators with actionable, trusted insights in time-sensitive scenarios. As systems move toward increased levels of autonomy, Seekr's patented explainability technology becomes an important determinant in trusted systems for mission success.
