Department of War Renames CDAO the Super Intelligence Office

The Department of War on Friday renamed its main digital and AI office the Super Intelligence Office and directed the public to a new official site at SI.mil.

The official Department of War release, dated Nov. 13, 2026, says the change follows President Trump’s executive direction to move federal terminology and national security strategy “from legacy artificial intelligence to the era of Super Intelligence.” The office, now styled DoW SIO, also unveiled a new logo and said it has moved its public social accounts to LinkedIn as DoW SIO and to X as @SIODoW.

What the Super Intelligence Office will do

Cameron Stanley, listed on the new site as Chief Super Intelligence Officer, said in the department’s release: “This redesignation is a clear signal of where the Department of War is going. We have moved beyond experimental prototypes. As the Super Intelligence Office our mission is to harness the full power of sovereign Super Intelligence to ensure decisive military superiority across every domain.”

According to the release, the Super Intelligence Office is the organization responsible for putting “SI tools” in the hands of warfighters at speed and scale. It supports the Maven Smart System and the War Data Platform and has the mission of enabling an “SI-First” military.

The new Super Intelligence Office site describes Maven Smart System as a tool that combines and analyzes sensor data to detect objects in real time and support military operations. It describes the War Data Platform as a system that connects military data and provides consistent, secure access so teams can build and integrate new applications faster.

The department said the transition will roll out across digital systems, enterprise applications and component headquarters over the coming weeks. Existing operational programs, industry solicitations and defense partnerships “will continue uninterrupted under the new banner.” Public resources, acquisition pathways and partnership portals are now consolidated at SI.mil.

The Super Intelligence Office also announced the change on X on Friday, calling the move its official transformation from the Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office. A follow-up post pointed to SI.mil as the “new digital home,” along with the new logo and the LinkedIn and X accounts.

Leadership and other programs listed on SI.mil

Besides Stanley, the Super Intelligence Office site lists Andrew Mapes as Principal Deputy Super Intelligence Officer. The office address given there is 9010 Defense Pentagon, Washington, D.C. 20301-9010.

The site also describes a set of projects and programs that, it says, turn new technology into practical tools. Along with the Maven Smart System and the War Data Platform, those listings include Swarm Forge, Agent Network, Ender’s Foundry, Open Arsenal, Project Grant, Super Intelligence Tools and Enterprise Agents.

Super Intelligence Tools, the site says, gives Department of War personnel access to OpenAI GPT, Google Gemini and SpaceXAI GrokShield in approved Impact Level 5 and higher environments. Enterprise Agents is described as a shared approach for building and safely deploying software assistants that handle everyday work.

What this does, and does not, change for readers here

This is a Washington reorganization and a new name, not a local base announcement. The department’s own release presents the Super Intelligence Office as a redesignation of the existing CDAO, with current programs continuing. Arizona service members, veterans and families may start seeing the new name and the SI.mil address on official materials as the change rolls out.
