artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML)

SSATI remains at the forefront of innovation by continuously introducing the latest advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) throughout the development lifecycle. Our commitment to excellence is demonstrated through advanced coding and technical problem-solving, utilizing our extensive experience with leading LLMs including ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini. Our LLM-powered systems development and deployment includes RAG pipelines, knowledge graphs, entity extraction, and dynamic dictionary generation. We develop autonomous, task-oriented AI agents with tool calling, real time streaming (SSE), REST APIs, and secure infrastructure, while managing LLM inferences across local and multi-provider environments with dynamic model selection and fallback strategies. Our ML models are designed and implemented with neural networks, decision trees, statistical models, and genetic programming. Our hands-on expertise includes open-source frameworks (TensorFlow and PyTorch), including proprietary neural-network-driven applications, as well as applied AI-assisted tooling for organizational gap analysis, documentation, and Zero Trust (ZIGs) implementation. Our AWS certified personnel (AI Practitioner, AI/ML) have experience across modern platforms, full-stack tooling, and vector/graph databases. By integrating these powerful tools, we are able to deliver robust, scalable, and data-driven solutions that empower our clients to achieve their strategic goals.

natural language processing

For over a decade, SSATI’s engineers have been integrating Natural Language Processing (NLP) into the intelligence community, enabling more precise extraction, interpretation, and analysis of unstructured data at scale with customized capabilities for the IC. We specialize in developing advanced statistical and rules-based content extractors to create and extend rulesets, as well as customized tools for Entity Disambiguation Services and statistical and rules-based content extractors to create and extend rulesets. Our expertise also includes the utilization of enhanced ontologies, which add structure to unstructured content. We optimize performance for real-time and batch processing environments, ensuring timely delivery of critical information. ​

knowledge management

SSATI strengthens customer knowledge management systems by integrating and optimizing commercial technologies that enable the secure creation, discovery, sharing, and governance of mission-critical information across the intelligence community. Our experience includes the design and implementation of a content management solution leveraging automated content extraction to streamline ingestion into a corporate knowledge base, increasing data processing efficiency by 60%. We offer extensive experience with leading commercial platforms, including Documentum, SharePoint, and Alfresco, and have performed low-level commercial off-theshelf (COTS) integrations using Java Content Management Interoperability Service (CMIS) specifications. We develop custom SharePoint-based solutions to meet mission-specific requirements, with metadata tagging, indexing, and advanced search capabilities to improve information discoverability. Our expertise in document management system federation and abstraction services enables seamless access across multiple repositories, and we apply role-based access controls and data governance practices to ensure compliance with security and privacy requirements. We support cloud and hybrid architectures to enhance scalability, resilience, and remote accessibility of knowledge systems, ensuring tailored, robust, and efficient knowledge management systems for our clients.
