CHANTILLY, VA, UNITED STATES, September 10, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Koniag Government Services (KGS), a leading provider of mission-focused technology and digital transformation solutions for federal customers, is supporting the Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office (CDAO) in its efforts to accelerate the adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and intelligent automation across the Department of War (DoW).
A current priority initiative is the expansion of its next-generation digital assistant platform, known as “Wingman,” recently highlighted by CDAO War Data Platform Program Director Elizabeth “Liz” Chirico during a panel at the UiPath Fusion Conference, presented by FedScoop, and featured in a May 2026 DefenseScoop article.
Wingman is a next-generation intelligent automation platform designed to enable defense organizations to build and deploy custom AI-powered digital assistants that automate repetitive, compliance-driven, and document-heavy workflows. The platform helps reduce administrative burden across mission areas and enables personnel to focus on higher-value decision-making and mission execution.
KGS supports the Wingman initiative by building intelligent automation solutions for CDAO Research and Engineering (R&E) and organizations across the DoW, leveraging Generative AI (GenAI) and low-code tools like Robotic Process Automation (RPA). This work is helping accelerate the adoption of secure, AI-enabled mission support tools across DoW customers.
These AI-powered, intelligent automations streamline core workflows in mission and business areas such as contracting, logistics, financial management, and other mission-critical functions. The Wingman platform integrates AI, Machine Learning (ML), large language models (LLMs), GenAI, RPA, and low-code tools to enable rapid automation at scale.
“KGS is proud to support the automation foundation behind one of the DoW’s most forward-leaning AI initiatives,” said Matt Carle, Chief Operating Officer, Defense & Intelligence Line of Business at KGS. “Wingman puts powerful capabilities directly into the hands of users —enabling users to build solutions that reduce friction, accelerate workflows, and deliver meaningful mission outcomes.”
The CDAO team leveraged the earlier work a KGS team supporting Army procurement automations delivered, resulting in more than $37M in annual cost avoidance. These early efforts helped establish scalable approaches to AI-driven automation, forming part of the broader foundation for enterprise digital assistant capabilities like Wingman.
“KGS remains focused on delivering practical, secure, and impactful AI capabilities that directly support mission outcomes,” added Carle. “From enterprise workflow automation to emerging agentic applications, our goal is to help agencies move faster, work smarter, and achieve measurable operational impact.”
