TACTICA AI Unveils Groundbreaking AI Platform for Critical Real-Time Decision-Making in the Region

Abu Dhabi, UAE, 6 May 2026 – TACTICA AI, an innovative start-up based in Abu Dhabi, has launched its cutting-edge multi-domain decision-support platform at Make it in the Emirates 2026. In an era marked by increasing operational complexities, this platform aims to revolutionize how organizations transform fragmented intelligence, sensor, and operational data into real-time insights.

TACTICA AI is recognized as the region’s first publicly known platform of its kind, establishing a new category of operational AI that transcends traditional dashboards, data feeds, and analytics tools. Designed to enhance decision-making at the mission layer, this platform arose from the rapid and innovative development by the Technology Innovation Institute (TII), part of Abu Dhabi’s Advanced Technology Research Council (ATRC), in less than 35 days. It has already proven its effectiveness in real-world mission-critical settings, helping organizations transition swiftly from data to decisive actions.

The platform integrates GEOINT (geospatial intelligence), leveraging satellite imagery, radar, maps, and location-based intelligence for situational awareness, alongside OSINT (open-source intelligence) to provide comprehensive context. It also seamlessly assimilates video feeds, sensors, IoT systems, and historical data. By applying agentic AI orchestration, TACTICA AI first defines the mission outcome, dynamically identifying the necessary data sources, tools, models, and workflows to facilitate action. This paradigm shift transforms user interaction with complex systems.

Tactica AI promotes outcome-driven tasking, enabling the platform to identify required achievements rather than merely suggesting sensors or data providers. This facilitates a cohesive operational view across teams, domains, and data types, effectively linking analysis, decision-making, and execution, all while ensuring human oversight for critical decisions.

Dr. Najwa Aaraj, CEO of TII, emphasized that “TACTICA AI signifies the evolution of sovereign AI: systems that do more than process data, enhancing action capabilities. In complex environments, the ability to respond swiftly and clearly can determine success. By establishing a mission-first decision-support platform in Abu Dhabi, TII is pushing boundaries with technologies that meet real operational demands while enhancing national resilience, capability, and independence.”

Designed for vital sectors such as defense and national security, crisis management, critical infrastructure, smart cities, energy and utilities, environmental sustainability, and industrial operations, TACTICA AI ensures versatile application across diverse fields.

The platform’s architecture fuses proprietary AI models from TII’s research ecosystem with superior third-party technologies, allowing for integration without vendor lock-in. It facilitates natural language interaction, real-time support for analysts, and responsible decision-making with human-in-the-loop validation.

Dr. Chaouki Kasmi, representing TACTICA AI, noted: “TACTICA AI shifts the focus from merely displaying data to empowering users in decision-making. By bringing together intelligence, tasking, workflows, and AI agents into a unified decision layer, it remains compatible with existing infrastructure. It’s not just a dashboard; it’s a robust operational tool for high-stakes environments.”

The platform effectively minimizes manual burdens, breaks down information silos, and fosters coordination across complex operational landscapes.

TACTICA AI has already forged alliances with prominent geospatial imagery analysis firms, such as Safran from France and Satim from Poland, enhancing its capabilities within the global intelligence and operational technology landscape.

Furthermore, TACTICA AI can be deployed using high-performance computing within containerized environments, establishing a mobile GEOINT decision-support system tailored for situations where speed, flexibility, and resilience are paramount.

The public unveiling of TACTICA AI reinforces Abu Dhabi’s emerging position as a hub for applied intelligence and advanced technologies, transforming cutting-edge research into operational effectiveness. By integrating data fusion, AI agents, mission-driven tasking, and digital workflows, TACTICA AI is crafted to assist decision-makers in achieving precision where time and clarity are critical.
