The US Department of the Air Force has granted Impact Level 5 (IL5) approval to an AI platform developed by Via Science, Inc., expanding its ability to handle more sensitive operational data.

The platform, called eJARVIS, is a military-configured version of the company’s “Share Less, Ask More” AI solution, designed to reduce data exposure by limiting what is shared with large language models while still allowing direct, secure queries for analysis.

eJARVIS is built to analyze installation-level energy, utility, and infrastructure data, delivering near real-time insights to support faster decision-making.

It also minimizes data exposure by limiting the need to share information with large language models, while enabling direct queries and maintaining a verifiable chain of custody for auditability.

Unlike general-purpose AI tools, the platform is tailored for supporting infrastructure planning, energy resilience, and logistics within controlled environments.

With IL5 authorization, eJARVIS can now store and process certain categories of Controlled Unclassified Information that require higher levels of protection.

“The Department of the Air Force is committed to responsibly accelerating AI integration to strengthen operational readiness,” said Nancy Balkus, deputy assistant secretary of the Air Force for Infrastructure, Energy and Environment.

“eJARVIS allows us to provide warfighters with access to this critical information in minutes rather than weeks, speeding decisions without compromising security.”

The IL5 approval builds on eJARVIS’ earlier authority to operate at IL4 in 2024, marking a continued expansion of generative AI capabilities across air force infrastructure and energy operations.
