AI to Boost Military Info-Tech Market
Pentagon spending on artificial intelligence is expected to grow faster than the overall defense information-technology market, according to one analyst.
Eighteen contracts with a total value of $489 million were awarded by the Defense Department in 2019 for AI products and services, noted Brad Curran, industry principal for aerospace, defense and security at Frost & Sullivan.
While military spending on IT is projected to increase about 2 percent in 2021, artificial intelligence is projected to do better within that portfolio over the short-, medium- and long-term, he said during a recent webinar.
The Pentagon established the Joint Artificial Intelligence Center in 2018, and each of the services and many other organizations within the Defense Department are also doing their own work with the technology, he noted.
“The contracts to assist analysts and to assist human understanding, to be able to take large amounts of data and do predictive analytics is very important to DoD for logistics, for maintenance, for intelligence, for communications, to be able to make the best possible use of the crowded frequency spectrum,” he said. “Many different areas are using artificial intelligence more and more within DoD.”
Contract trends include computer vision engineering to improve network performance, and containerized and deployable machine learning systems, according to his presentation slides.
The market represents an opening for commercial firms, he noted. However, they might not always be able to sell commercial-off-the-shelf systems.
“Firms that provide artificial intelligence software and services … have to be flexible enough to modify their products to be able to work within and for a larger systems integrator or in contracting directly with DoD, to make sure that they are able to bring operational advantages,” he said. “They may have to modify it a bit and make sure that they’re meeting DoD operational needs.”
In addition to bidding on contracts directly, commercial companies can get their foot in the door of the military acquisition enterprise by working with large systems integrators, he noted.
“They’re always looking for subcontractors,” Curran said. “It’s a great way to break into the DoD market by partnering with established DoD network providers.”

Launch of government-backed commercial lending Financial Centre powered by Cubeler Lending Hub in Jiangyin
First supply-chain financing related services, previously outsourced, provided through Gold River 2.0 platform
Third Quarter Financial and Operating Results Summary
“As we expected, the demand for our services, particularly as it pertains to the supply-chain, reached a new level in the third quarter, but we’re still very much in the early stages of our client acquisition plan in that vertical,” commented Peak Group CEO, Johnson Joseph. “The vast majority of our supply-chain financing business is still financing purchase orders placed with a few raw material suppliers by 200 or so manufacturers. The objective is to work our way down the transactional supply-chain where we can finance purchase orders placed with thousands of manufacturers and distributors by tens of thousands of retailers, and we began to see some of those transactions in the latter part of the quarter”.
“The financing services related to transactions between material suppliers and manufacturers that took place in Q3 were bundled with logistics services. We outsourced those services because we didn’t have the software system through which the purchase orders could be placed and some of the logistics services provided. But that’s in the process of changing. We spent the better part of a year making adjustments to Gold River to be able to provide those services ourselves, which should dramatically reduce our outsourcing expenses,” concluded Mr. Joseph.
The continued geographic expansion of Peak’s services certainly played a role in the increase in the quarterly revenue, but it’s really the demand from the supply-chain vertical itself, mostly in the cities where the financing services were already being provided, that has had the biggest impact on the revenue growth.
The revenue trajectory on which the Company now finds itself, combined with the impact that the re-emergence of its Gold River platform is expected to have on future outsourcing expenses, bolstered the Company’s 2021 profit repatriation plans. Peak therefore engaged with consultants and advisors during the quarter to begin implementing the mechanisms prescribed by the Chinese government for foreign companies to repatriate profits from their Chinese subsidiaries. Other than the aforementioned outsourcing expenses, fees paid out to consultants and advisors represented the biggest expenses for the Company in Q3.
In summary, the Company generated revenue of $15,116,369 for the three-month period and $26,329,268 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020, compared to $4,499,953 for the three-month period and $7,351,186 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019.
Total expenses before taxes for the quarter amounted to $15,505,739, compared to $4,998,367 for the same period in 2019. The net (after tax) loss for Q3 was $512,874 compared to $777,316 for the same period of 2019.
