Washington, D.C. December 2024 – Expression Networks, LLC (Expression), a leading provider of artificial intelligence (AI), enabled data fusion and analytics, information technology (IT) and electromagnetic spectrum (EMS) management solutions, has won a Direct to Phase 2 (D2P2) Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract. This award supports Expression’s development of a cutting-edge AI-enabled solution to modernize the Army’s Acquisition Requirements Package (ARP) processes.

The Army’s ARP modernization initiative seeks to address critical challenges in the ARP process. Labor-intensive tasks, such as ingesting contract requirements, selecting contract types and clauses, and assembling documents, significantly prolong ARP cycles and drain valuable resources. A lack of standardization and built-in compliance mechanisms often results in errors and inconsistencies in documents. Moreover, existing tools lack intuitive interfaces and adaptability for diverse roles like program managers and contracting officers.

Expression solves these challenges with Trusted Agentic AI – our innovative technology to power human-agent collaboration with trust in mission-critical applications. Built on the five tenets of TRUST – Transparency, Reliability, Unassailability, Scalability, and Testability – Trusted Agentic AI features a Multi-Agent Solution that orchestrates teams of collaborative and adversarial agents to deliver trusted workflows. Trusted Agentic AI is embedded in Visualize, Observe, and React (VOR™), Expression’s Data to Intelligence platform. As part of the Phase II effort, Expression will research, develop, and deliver a functional prototype of Trusted Agentic AI, enabled through VOR.AI and tailored specifically to the Army’s ARP workflows. By implementing trusted agent workflows, this prototype will significantly reduce solicitation cycle time and operational cost, enhance the accuracy and consistency of solicitation documents, while simultaneously supporting a wide array of users and tasks.

Beyond Department of Defense support, Trusted Agentic AI offers transformative potential across a broad spectrum of industries, including cybersecurity, healthcare, logistics, and more. Expression remains committed to redefining trust in AI and shaping a future where trusted agents amplify human potential and drive mission success.
