Adarga

Adarga is an artificial intelligence (AI) company specializing in information intelligence for the defence, national security, and commercial sectors. The company was founded in 2016 by CEO Rob Bassett Cross, a former British Army officer, to address the challenges of information overload he experienced in both military and financial fields.

The firm's core product is Adarga Vantage™, a software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform that processes and analyzes vast amounts of unstructured data from both in-house and open sources. It utilizes natural language processing (NLP), machine learning, and network science to extract, translate, summarize, and connect information from text, voice, and video data in over 75 languages. This enables analysts and researchers to identify threats, mitigate risks, and find opportunities much faster than traditional methods. The platform features tools like generative AI-powered Question and Answer (Q&A) and knowledge graph visualization to uncover hidden patterns and relationships.

Adarga's business model is centered on licensing its Vantage platform, likely through tiered subscriptions, to government and enterprise clients. The company has secured significant contracts and partnerships, including with the UK Ministry of Defence (MOD), the British Army, Royal Navy, and Royal Air Force. In May 2023, Adarga announced a $20 million funding round led by BOKA Group to support its expansion.
