While hundreds of billions have been spent teaching AI to manipulate words and generate videos, ASI builds AI systems that can manage and control critical physical infrastructure - where there is zero margin for error.
Today we announced our $325M Series C to scale America’s Engine: the automated nervous system keeping the country running.
The 618th AOC has awarded ASI a $26M contract, building on our work delivering unprecedented situational awareness during critical operations, including Midnight Hammer, Epic Fury, and Southern Spear.
Proud to support the @usairforce .

PROOF OUR SKIES ARE GETTING SMART-ER
Every day, I'm posting an example of how our new air traffic control management system — SMART — is saving YOU from endless delays and cancellations.
Last week, a flight out of Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport carrying 119 passengers was supposed to hit bad weather. The initial plan was to fly around the storm.
That’s when experts in our SMART lab stepped in. Using predictive weather models, the lab developed a new, faster and shorter route.
The change saved flyers from a 33 minute delay!
Less time on the tarmac. More time at your destination. That's the power of SMART — more to come 🛫 @FAANews
FAA Administrator Bryan Bedford takes CNN inside the SMART Center, sharing real examples of how the FAA is using ASI models to save time and fuel across our national airspace, making the traveling experience better for Americans every day.
The U.S. Air Force has awarded Air Space Intelligence Federal (@AirSpaceIntel) a $26 million contract for AI-powered software licenses to support air operations planning and management.

This is the future:
A flight from Tampa to Dallas was supposed to take a huge detour around storms, BUT…
@FAANews’ new SMART system routed it SAFELY over the weather instead, saving nearly 45 MINUTES OF TRAVEL TIME and cutting down delays before they even start
Soon, this breakthrough technology is going NATIONWIDE
📺@CNN@petemuntean👇
For years, severe weather could mean hours of delays for your flights. We’re changing that.
@FAANews is expanding its SMART platform nationwide, cutting flight times, saving millions of dollars in fuel, and keeping traffic moving even when storms hit.
Check out how the impact is already being felt on flights now 👇@cnn
NEW DATA: We rolled out “SMART” to cut flight delays and help air traffic controllers, and it’s WORKING 🛫
Early results:
- 10+ minutes saved per flight
- 180 flights rerouted around congestion (24,000 travelers)
- 80 gallons of fuel saved per trip
Soon this technology is going NATIONWIDE, read more in replies ⬇️
SMARTER SKIES: The Trump administration's new AI-powered air traffic tool has already rerouted nearly 180 flights carrying roughly 24,000 passengers, cutting flight times by more than 10 minutes on average, according to new DOT data.
The FAA's SMART system combines 200 data streams to help controllers anticipate congestion and find more efficient routes. It also saved nearly 80 gallons of fuel per flight on average.
The agency plans to expand the system to all 22 air route traffic control centers nationwide.

WATCH: @USDOT isn’t just talking about the future of aviation—we’re clearing the runway for it
-Modernizing our Air Traffic Control System
-Ushering in eVTOLs
-Unleashing drone dominance
-Streamlining commercial space launches
…And that's just the BEGINNING. Incredible energy sharing what's next at the UP.Summit at Kennedy Space Center
ASI Chief Strategy Officer Lt. Gen. Leo Kosinski, USAF (Ret.), former Joint Staff J4, on the Logistics Lens podcast:
In contested logistics, knowing where your assets are isn’t enough. By the time a static common operating picture shows you a problem, the adversary has already acted. The advantage goes to whoever can anticipate disruption before it happens.

Startup ASI raised $325 million in new funding from investors, allowing the company to expand an AI system that helps the military, airlines and air-traffic controllers manage assets https://t.co/78hiDpPDm8
We gave @AirSpaceIntel a term sheet in the middle of Covid when no planes were flying. @pbuckendorf signed it (the very first @RenegadePtnrs term sheet!!) and picked @rquintini to lead his Series A.
Here’s to 6 years and counting on betting on each other!! Congrats on this amazing milestone!
Critical infrastructure is being run on software from the 1980s, says ASI CEO Phillip Buckendorf.
He explains how ASI uses AI to orchestrate complex systems like air traffic control and energy transmission https://t.co/IgZlrqzrq4
While the broader tech ecosystem spent hundreds of billions teaching AI to manipulate words and generate text. @AirSpaceIntel is different. We are deeply focused on the models that orchestrate the most complex systems across critical industries. Today's $325M Series C underwrites our expansion across transportation, defense and energy.

Welcome to the portfolio, @AirSpaceIntel! ASI is building frontier AI to orchestrate critical infrastructure and strengthen national security, and today announced its $325M Series C. We're excited to back the team. https://t.co/Qo4WimQ0OS
