SAN FRANCISCO and WASHINGTON, August 5, 2026 <\/strong>\u2014 Salesforce, the world\u2019s #1 Agentic CRM, today announced that the DOW can now leverage the full capabilities of Agentforce 360<\/a> through Missionforce National Security<\/a>. Agentforce 360 provides a complete mission-ready agentic portfolio that combines real-time data harmonization with autonomous AI action to create an unbreakable chain from data to decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The addition of this core portfolio* for building, customizing, and governing agentic AI at scale to Missionforce National Security enables the DOW to now deploy trusted AI agents across its most sensitive, unclassified missions. This milestone moves national security agencies and the defense industrial base beyond predictive AI and chatbots to autonomous AI execution, where compliant agents with full operational context and built-in accountability work alongside personnel to drive mission readiness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Missionforce National Security is also actively expanding across the Intelligence Community to help agencies operate with greater agility and resilience in dynamic threat environments. New capabilities bring the speed of commercial innovation to intelligence missions, logistics, and personnel management \u2014 providing a secure \u201cdevelop low, deploy high\u201d model that lets teams build and tailor solutions in unclassified environments and deploy seamlessly to the Top Secret Network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why it matters:<\/strong> Today\u2019s national security demands unmatched decision velocity, yet fragmented data and passive AI tools incapable of taking action are slowing down mission success. The real-world consequences are stark. A Government Accountability Office (GAO) report revealed that 74%<\/a> of U.S. Air Force aircraft missed their depot maintenance deadlines, largely driven by unforeseen parts shortages and siloed data systems. While traditional AI merely alerts personnel to these bottlenecks after they happen, agentic AI can actively reason, orchestrate workflows, and trigger corrective action autonomously \u2014 within established guardrails and existing operational logic \u2014 before readiness is ever compromised. This is why 80%<\/a> of government leaders believe agentic AI will be critical to competing in the current geopolitical environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What it means: <\/strong>With new Impact Level 5 (IL5) authorization for Agentforce 360, Missionforce National Security now delivers a complete agentic platform that reduces operational lag and drives decision velocity across the DOW. National security organizations can efficiently unify disparate data, surface real-time predictive intelligence, and automate complex workflows under a single, mission-ready foundation. Crucially, this enables AI agents to securely leverage Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and unclassified National Security Systems (NSS) data \u2014 providing the operational ground truth required to turn sensitive data into immediate mission advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Trust is the foundation of every successful mission. Agentforce 360 IL5 authorization means national security agencies can harness the power of AI \u2014 autonomous agents, real-time data, decision intelligence \u2014 without compromising the security their missions demand. Missionforce is modernizing government IT. We’re building the trusted AI backbone for America\u2019s national security,” said Kendall Collins, CEO of Missionforce and Government Cloud at Salesforce.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
