   Pentagon's Tradewinds uses 5-minute videos to speed AI 'kill chain' buys

   Tradewinds, a procurement marketplace run by the Pentagon's Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office (CDAO), lets companies submit product videos of no more than five minutes describing how their AI offerings address periodically updated "strategic focus areas"; a panel reviews submissions at least monthly, and accepted products gain "post-competitive" status that makes it easier to buy them via vehicles such as Other Transaction agreements. A DOD official says some awards have been made in under a week, and OpenAI, Anthropic and Google are all listed as participants. WIRED reports that 2026 topics seek AI that can "enhance force lethality" and "unleash" AI-enabled agents for joint targeting, including so-called kill chain execution, while earlier pitches on a "culture of responsible AI" and guardrails are no longer sought.
