DATAVAULT AI JOINS FORCES WITH BURKE PRODUCTS IN MAJOR DEFENCE TECH ALLIANCE

KUALA LUMPUR, July 23 (Bernama) -- Datavault AI Inc, has announced a strategic partnership with Burke Products (Burke), a minority-owned Tier 1 supplier to Lockheed Martin, Raytheon Technologies, the United States (US) Department of Defense, and allied international forces.

Burke's existing agreements will contract Datavault AI to engineer and produce advanced solutions, with revenue recognition expected from 2025. The partnership is poised to expand into productised offerings by 2026.

Datavault AI Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Nathaniel T. Bradley said this collaboration brings together the strength of its platforms with Burke’s legacy and capabilities, establishing a strategic contracting partner ready to deliver purpose-built innovations at critical moments.

Meanwhile, Burke CEO, Aaron Bakhshi described the partnership as a “transformative step” that aligns innovation with mission-critical defence standards, and the inclusion of Datavault AI's solutions would redefine product innovation across their client base.

Both firms aim to drive the future of national defence through integrated technologies built for secure, high-performance environments, according to a statement.

Burke has subcontracted multiple opportunities to Datavault AI under a global agreement framework, enabling both firms to respond to private and public tenders for defence and aerospace projects with agility and scale.

Military-grade engineering is already underway, integrating Datavault AI’s proprietary data technologies and patented ADIO tone systems into Burke’s existing manufacturing and engineering operations. It aims to accelerate deployment of next-generation defence technologies.

The tie-up comes as global defence spending is forecast to surpass US$2.2 trillion in 2025, with rising demand for secure data solutions, predictive intelligence, and advanced communication systems. (US$1=RM4.21)

In its first phase, the partnership will deploy ADIO tone technologies, with future expansion into predictive analytics, logistics, and management to enhance component authentication and supply chain security.
