What Air Space Intelligence does

Air Space Intelligence (ASI) is a Boston-based, venture-backed software company founded in 2015 that builds AI-powered decision-support systems for mission-critical operations, primarily in aviation, defense, energy, and logistics. The company employs approximately 101-250 people across offices in Boston (headquarters), Washington D.C., and Gdańsk, Poland, and operates through two entities: Air Space Intelligence, Inc. and its federal subsidiary Air Space Intelligence Federal, Inc.

The company's flagship product is the PRESCIENCE platform, a modular AI system providing 4D predictive simulation, multi-modal data fusion across more than 100 integrated sources (FAA SWIM, CoSPA, ADS-B, weather, OSINT, and government databases), and optimization engines. Domain-specific applications include Flyways AI for air traffic flow management and airline operations, NITMRE-GEO for U.S. Air Force Air Mobility Command, the Joint Sustainment Decision Tool for the Defense Innovation Unit, and energy grid optimization solutions. ASI's platform is reported to generate 22% more accurate traffic demand predictions than legacy systems, identify optimization opportunities on 55% of Alaska Airlines' daily flights, and impact over one million air travelers daily.

ASI operates a sales-led enterprise go-to-market focused on government and large commercial customers. Revenue streams include multi-year government contracts (notably the FAA's $875M, 12-year SMART system award, DIU prototype OTA work, and Air Mobility Command deployments), enterprise SaaS subscriptions with commercial airlines and energy utilities, and government co-development programs. Pricing is contract-based and negotiated; no public pricing tiers exist. The company has raised $34M in a Series B led by Andreessen Horowitz (December 2023) and achieved CMMC Level 2 certification in October 2025. Named customers include the FAA, U.S. Air Force, Defense Innovation Unit, Alaska Airlines, National Grid, and Joby Aviation.

Revenue model

1. Government Defense Contracts: ASI generates revenue through large-scale government contracts with the FAA ($875M SMART system), Department of Defense, U.S. Air Force (NITMRE-GEO), and Defense Innovation Unit (DIU Joint Sustainment Decision Tool). These multi-year contracts involve developing and deploying AI systems for air traffic management and defense logistics operations.
2. Commercial Aviation Software (Flyways AI): PRESCIENCE platform deployed to commercial airlines including Alaska Airlines. Airlines pay for AI-powered flight optimization, network management, and operational decision support. Alaska Airlines reportedly saved 3-5% fuel through Flyways optimization.
3. Energy Sector AI Solutions: AI-powered decision support for electric grid planning and operations with National Grid partnership. Revenue likely comes from enterprise software licensing for grid optimization, resilience planning, and outage management.

Core offering

Air Space Intelligence develops PRESCIENCE, an AI-powered 4D predictive decision support platform that fuses 100+ geospatial and OSINT data sources into domain-specific digital twins for lookahead simulation and network optimization. Built on an open, modular architecture, the platform is deployed across commercial aviation (Flyways AI for air traffic and airline operations), defense logistics (multi-domain battlefield anticipation, NITMRE-GEO), energy grid operations (with National Grid), and global multi-modal logistics supply chains.

Product overview

Air Space Intelligence offers PRESCIENCE, a modular AI-powered decision-support platform that provides 4D predictive simulation, data fusion, and optimization across mission-critical operations. The platform is designed as a core engine supporting multiple solution areas including Flyways AI for air traffic management, Airline Operations for network optimization, Energy grid planning and operations, Global Logistics for supply chain management, and Defense applications for military operations. ASI's architecture integrates over 100 data sources and provides vertical solutions tailored to specific industry domains, with Flyways AI serving as the commercial aviation-specific implementation of the PRESCIENCE platform. The company also develops specialized government solutions including NITMRE-GEO for Air Force mobility operations and the Joint Sustainment Decision Tool for military logistics.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights7 records

Direct peers

• Palantir Technologies: Direct competitor — Palantir was the AI/defense platform ASI defeated for the FAA SMART contract and continues to operate an FAA prototype alongside ASI. Both sell AI decision-support to defense and civil government agencies; multiple ASI leaders are ex-Palantir.
• Thales: Direct competitor — Thales was the third finalist for the FAA SMART contract alongside Palantir and ASI, with deep incumbency in air traffic management and avionics globally. Same procurement channel, same end customers, same AI-for-ATC thesis.

Broad incumbents

• Sabre Corporation: Broad incumbent serving the same commercial airline network-optimization buyers as ASI. Sabre sells airline operations, crew, and network management software — overlapping with Flyways AI at the airline operations center layer.
• Amadeus IT Group: Broad incumbent providing IT and operations solutions to airlines and airports globally. Competes with ASI in airline operations optimization and is a likely alternative to Flyways AI for international carriers.
• Collins Aerospace (RTX): Established avionics, navigation, and flight controls manufacturer whose solutions touch the same FAA and airline customers ASI serves. A plausible systems-integrator competitor for ATC modernization programs adjacent to SMART.
• Honeywell Aerospace: Incumbent avionics and flight management systems vendor with deep airline and FAA relationships. Its flight-efficiency and navigation software stack directly overlaps with Flyways AI's optimization layer.
• Lockheed Martin: Largest U.S. defense prime with significant AI-driven C2 and logistics capabilities. Multiple ASI leaders (e.g., Bernard Asare) came from Lockheed; Lockheed competes for many of the same DoD AI/mobility contracts.

Emerging players

• Merlin Labs: Emerging autonomous flight AI company focused on cockpit autonomy and commercial cargo autonomy. ASI's VP of Operations Dan Rickert was previously Merlin Labs' Chief of Staff; both pursue AI for safer, more efficient flight in regulated airspace.
• Anduril Industries: Emerging defense AI company building mission autonomy and command-and-control software for DoD. Competes with ASI for the same defense decision-support dollars and shares the a16z American Dynamism thesis.

Others

• Joby Aviation: Strategic eVTOL partner and customer — Joby is integrating its aircraft into the NAS via ASI's Flyways AI platform. Adjacent rather than competing: Joby builds aircraft, ASI builds the airspace software they fly in.
