# DoW Authorizes Virtualitics AI Platform

Virtualitics says its AI-native readiness platform has received Department of War Impact Level 5 and Impact Level 6 authorizations, enabling use with controlled unclassified information and Secret-level workloads, respectively. The approvals may broaden its applicability to defense missions involving sensitive and classified data. In November 2025, the Marine Corps also awarded Virtualitics a deployment of its Integrated Readiness Optimization platform for the MV-22 Osprey fleet; the signal provides no contract value or number.

- Defense procurement teams can evaluate the platform for readiness workloads involving CUI or Secret-level data, subject to mission needs and acquisition requirements.
- The November 2025 Marine Corps deployment provides a defense use case for the platform; contractors may assess opportunities to support similar readiness applications.
- Virtualitics’ authorizations may expand its applicability to defense missions, while the available signal does not identify a new solicitation, contract value, or procurement deadline.
