PC-C5 is a combined joint and multinational experiment allowing partners and allies across Australia, Canada, France, Japan, New Zealand, United Kingdom, and all branches of the United States military to integrate resources and technologies in support of defense transformation efforts for future warfighters.

The PC-C5 experiment presented opportunities for multinational forces to test Next Generation Command Control (NGC2) systems using relevant AI models. BigBear.ai’s Virtual Anticipation Network (VANE) platform proved critical in helping forces quickly gain situational awareness and identify emerging threats. Operators highlighted its forecasting models, accurate sentiment analysis for detecting adversarial narratives, and metadata tagging for navigating unfamiliar environments and filtering relevant media.

“BigBear.ai is proud that VANE continues to demonstrate operational value in real-world exercises and experiments like PC-C5, involving forces from multiple nations,” said Ryan Legge, President of National Security at BigBear.ai. “These environments validate the critical role AI plays in supporting faster, more accurate decision-making for warfighters. The feedback we received will inform future enhancements to better serve our mission partners.”

BigBear.ai remains committed to equipping military and intelligence professionals with tools that can help improve how they perceive, predict, and act in complex operational environments.
