U.S. Special Operations Command awarded Smack Technologies a prototype Other Transaction agreement for Omega, its AI decision platform for commanders, the company announced Oct. 26.[1] Smack valued the agreement at $7.5 million; DefenseScoop reports it is worth up to that amount.[1][2]

The award extends Smack's military prototyping work: DefenseScoop reports that it follows contracts from the Marines, Air Force and Navy.[2] Smack said Aug. 4 that it had been awarded a competitive prototype agreement to support maritime operational planning and decision-making.[3]

DefenseScoop reports that Omega is designed to generate courses of action for joint military campaigning.[2] CEO Andy Markoff told the outlet that commanders can use Omega to link operational objectives, tactics and tasks into a single plan, then repair it in seconds as conditions change.[2] He also said Omega does not depend on constant cloud connectivity.[2]

## Why it matters

Smack's ambitions extend beyond prototyping: Markoff told DefenseScoop he expects Omega to move into production across multiple military branches in the coming months.[2] Smack's announcement covers prototype work and does not announce a production follow-on.[1]
