Joint Sustainment Decision Tool (JSDT) Prototype Award
DIU prototype OTA for Watchtower Labs to develop the Joint Sustainment Decision Tool (JSDT), an AI logistics decision-support system, alongside USINDOPACOM, USNORTHCOM, and DLA.
In February 2026, the Defense Innovation Unit — alongside USINDOPACOM, USNORTHCOM, and the Defense Logistics Agency — awarded Watchtower Labs a Prototype Other Transaction Agreement under the Joint Sustainment Decision Tool (JSDT) program, one of two such awards made (the other to Air Space Intelligence). JSDT, solicited in August 2025 via a commercial solutions opening, applies commercial AI to forecast military logistics needs — munitions, fuel, medical materiel, spare parts — and support proactive rather than reactive distribution planning for large-scale combat operations. The award's dollar value has not been publicly disclosed.
