Empowering the Warfighter With AI

The new Budget Execution Validation process has transformed how the Navy reviews unspent funds. Powered by Databricks Workflows, MLflow, Delta Lake and Apache Spark™, this data-driven model predicts which financial transactions are most likely to have errors, streamlining reviews and increasing accuracy. In FY24, it helped review $40 billion, freeing $1.1 billion for other priorities, including $260 million from active projects. By reducing reviews by 80%, cutting job runtime by over 50% and lowering costs by 60%, it saved 218,000 work hours and $6.7 million in labor costs. With automated workflows and robust data management, this system exemplifies how advanced tools can improve financial decision-making, save resources and ensure efficient use of taxpayer dollars.
