# Army Awards Project Griffin AI Defense Contracts

The U.S. Army has awarded two Project Griffin contracts for autonomous AI agents to defend military networks. Separately, the Department of War requires systems to reach a defined Zero Trust target level by the end of FY27. The signal identifies potential demand for AI-enabled network defense, vulnerability assessment, and Zero Trust implementation, but provides no contract values, awardees, solicitation details, or points of contact.

- The two Project Griffin awards indicate Army procurement activity for autonomous AI cyber defense; the signal does not identify the awardees or the scope and value of either contract.
- Contractors with capabilities in network defense, vulnerability reduction, and Zero Trust implementation may find relevant opportunities as the Department of War works toward its FY27 target.
- Businesses should distinguish the Army’s Project Griffin awards from the article’s supplier-authored discussion of Green Hills Software products; Green Hills is not identified as a Project Griffin awardee.
