Operating effectively in denied, degraded, intermittent, and limited bandwidth (DDIL) environments is crucial for the Department of Defense. This necessitates smaller, dispersed teams that can function autonomously, demanding secure AI and data processing at the edge. The U.S. Air Force partnered with Google Public Sector and GDIT to deploy the Google Distributed Cloud (GDC) air-gapped appliance. This ruggedized, transportable solution securely runs workloads up to the Secret level, with Zero Trust security built-in. During Mobility Guardian 2025 in Guam, the GDC appliance demonstrated its ability to generate critical intelligence and AI-powered insights in a disconnected setting. Key capabilities showcased included resilient command and control through a secure, disconnected collaboration platform. It also provided real-time data processing for improved situational awareness by integrating with GDIT's Luna AI solution. The appliance offered an edge development environment for creating new tactical tools and enabled AI-assisted tele-maintenance using generative AI and computer vision. This collaboration validated the workflow of tactical, air-gapped cloud systems bringing AI solutions to the mission anywhere. The GDC appliance is now ready for deeper integration with mission applications and seamless syncing to the enterprise network.
