Modernizing Marine Corps Systems with AI-Enabled MIDAS
Accelerating Digital Transformation with AI-Enabled Legacy Code Migration
Overview
The United States Marine Corps (USMC) Technology Services Organization (TSO) plays a critical role in delivering pay, benefits, and HR services to over 200,000 Marines and their families. Building upon TSO’s enterprise business information systems, our collaboration has included implementing MIDAS (Modern Intelligent Development Artificial Intelligence System)—an AI-enabled solution that helps automate code migration, enhance security, and reduce technical debt.
In today’s high-stake, threat-prone digital landscape, MIDAS integrates Generative AI with human expertise, enabling the USMC to modernize systems without disruption and reinforce our warfighter-first priorities.
AI-Enhanced Code Migration with MIDAS
To streamline modernization efforts, MIDAS integrates advanced analytics and automation, and incorporates human oversight to ensure uninterrupted, secure, and efficient operations. Additional capabilities include:
- Complex codebase analysis using rigorous parsing techniques for mission-critical applications
- Generative AI integration and code modernization to automate the conversion of legacy code to modern languages, enhancing maintainability and performance of even undocumented tactical systems
- Intelligent workflow automation for seamless collaboration between MIDAS, AI, and defense developers
- Enhanced security and compliance that implements stringent compliance standards [like RMF, CMMC, and NIST 800-171], and mitigates risks during migration to protect national security information
- Advanced testing and evaluation aligned with DoD standards to meet operational requirements
