NEW YORK, August 26, 2026--Dataminr, the leader in AI-powered real-time intelligence, today unveiled First Alert Advanced, transforming real-time alerting from publicly available information — the category Dataminr first pioneered — into Autonomous Real-Time Intelligence for defense and government organizations. First Alert Advanced provides agentic corroboration and context, describes an event's potential impact on a customer's organization, and delivers tactical predictive intelligence — all in real time, and all continuously updating.

Dataminr also announced that today it was awarded a 5-year, $318 million contract by the U.S. Department of War (DOW), for situational awareness, force protection, and indications and warnings on global events. This First Alert program for real-time alerting from publicly available information encompasses the entire DOW enterprise, spanning the Air Force, Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Space Force, and all unified combatant and operational commands. The launch of First Alert Advanced, combined with this $318 million DOW contract award, solidifies Dataminr's position as an AI leader in global government and defense tech.

"First Alert has long been the undisputed global leader in delivering the fastest, most comprehensive, and most accurate real-time alerts on events across the world," said Ted Bailey, Founder and CEO of Dataminr. "Our landmark $318 million DOW contract award for First Alert solidifies Dataminr's position as the real-time alerting backbone of the U.S. military for the next half-decade. With today's launch of First Alert Advanced, Dataminr is now fundamentally transforming our category with Autonomous Real-Time Intelligence, equipping defense and government organizations with unmatched AI-powered real-time decision advantage."

First Alert has established itself as the industry standard for real-time intelligence across the global defense and government market. The product is relied on by the militaries of 18 different nations across the world, including 15 NATO member nations — representing one of the largest international client footprints in the entire defense tech sector. First Alert is also relied on by over 100 government organizations across the U.S. federal, state, and local markets, including the Department of Homeland Security, State Department, Department of Justice, Congress, and customers in 35 U.S. states.
