General Dynamics Information Technology (GDIT) has partnered with Google Public Sector to deliver artificial intelligence (AI)-powered cloud technology to US defense and intelligence agencies.
The project will use Google Distributed Cloud, a portable and rugged “cloud-in-a-box” system cleared for secret-level workloads, letting teams run critical apps even when communications with headquarters are limited or offline.
GDIT recently demonstrated the tech during Mobility Guardian 2025, a US Air Force exercise focused on air logistics and rapid force deployment.
By moving AI tools like the Google sandbox closer to the action, key military units can process data faster, respond more efficiently to threats, and adapt to changing conditions in real time.
“In this dynamic and complex environment, federal agencies need industry partners to innovate faster than ever before from the tactical edge of the mission to the enterprise,” explained Ben Gianni, GDIT’s SVP and chief technology officer.
“This expanded partnership will enable us to jointly invest, develop and deliver proven solutions at speed to meet diverse demands and advance our national security priorities.”
Modernizing Citizen Services With AI
The collaboration also targets public services, combining GDIT’s AI tools with Google Cloud’s Contact Center AI Platform.
These systems use conversational and automated AI to give citizens faster, more efficient support across civilian and health agencies.
A recent implementation at a major federal agency reportedly saved $12 million and cut call volume by 40 percent.
Jan Niemiec, managing director of national security at Google Public Sector, noted that the partnership acts as a “force multiplier,” blending Google’s tech with GDIT’s real-world experience in managing complex projects.
“From modernizing citizen services with generative AI, to delivering critical communication at the mission edge, this partnership will accelerate the government’s digital transformation,” Niemiec said.
