Analysis

Th e Department of War's Call for Solutions on AI-enabled coding capabilities (CDAO_26-01) arrives at exa ctly the right moment. Today's AI coding assistants have moved beyond experiments in productivity to becoming the basis for how modern software is built. The DoW is right to close the gap with the commercial sector, and the Call for Solution's emphasis on security, data handling, and IL5 compliance reflects a clear-eyed understanding of what defense-grade deployment requires.
