DEFENSE SOLUTIONS AT LOWEST COSTS: This is the lowest cost solution to deliver payloads at safe standoff distances - Great job Chip Yates and Yates Electrospace Corporation team! This solution could have been quite a savior in the Marcus Luttrell story - "challenging contested logistics" - a retired Navy SEAL who was the single survivor of a Taliban ambush in Afghanistan in 2005. The other members of his mission, Operation Red Wings, were killed during the attack, and Luttrell was severely wounded. These guys were cut off from getting any supplies and the only way was using very high risk minimal standoff parachute operations.

It's not often that we can talk about our government work. Really proud of what Syntiant Corp. has accomplished with Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) and the US Navy in bringing AI to the edge, in support of maritime domain awareness and autonomy. Through this effort, Syntiant demonstrated a host of key attributes necessary for wide-scale deployment of AI across a heterogeneous U.S. Navy fleet of UxVs, including: • Production-grade AI models that run entirely at the edge. • Ability to quickly tune algorithms in the field with minimal additional data. • Compatibility across a broad range of edge compute architectures, including arm CPUs, NVIDIA GPUs, and Qualcomm’s Hexagon processors. • Class-leading compute efficiency enabling AI on very low-power hardware. • Small model size to enable rapid deployment to edge platforms over limited bandwidth. Whether working with large legacy ISR platforms, small form-factor unmanned systems, or even smart radios, we look forward to working with our U.S. government partners to deploy AI on SWaP-constrained edge platforms across the DoD enterprise. Thanks very much and congratulations to the team here at Syntiant Corp. and our partners at Ditto, Seasats, Prescient Edge, HarperDB, Inc., NIWC Pacific, and Defense Innovation Unit (DIU)! #isr #dod #defense #ai #autonomy
Last year, Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) and the Naval Information Warfare Systems Command, Pacific (NIWC PAC) partnered to proactively develop a Common Operational Database (#COD) that could enable unmanned systems to operate effectively and in concert within disconnected, denied, intermittent, and/or limited bandwidth (#DDIL) environments. In January of 2024, DIU awarded prototype agreements to three companies: Ditto, Syntiant and Harper DB. All three were successful in their proof of concept efforts to support this project. “The capability to enable scalable mission autonomy was proven in government-run test and evaluation exercises and will continue to be used and improved for the realization of the hybrid fleet,” said Mike Tall, Senior Science and Technology Manager (SSTM), Project Overmatch. DIU Program Manager and Navy Lieutenant Commander Al Williams noted that, “The combination of these capabilities will significantly improve maritime domain awareness / command & control (C2) in critical maritime DDIL environments as a key force enabler.” Read more about Project COD and its technology here: https://lnkd.in/gsMPQqDF Ditto HarperDB, Inc.

Continue to think about unmanned vessels. No single vessel, truck, or aircraft is the answer in a littoral operating area. All prove invaluable. Add autonomy for unmanned, or fewer-crewed, distribution = reduced manpower cost for logistics. Keep innovating, experimenting, and rehearsing.

Command an Autonomous Black Hawk Helicopter from 300 Miles Away How do you command a Black Hawk® helicopter to perform a mission autonomously from 300 miles away? During the Association of the United States Army's annual meeting in Washington, D.C., (#AUSA2024), visitors and U.S. Army senior leaders saw how a Black Hawk helicopter integrated with Sikorsky's MATRIX™ autonomy system can receive remote mission commands in real-time. Then, carry out that mission on its own, using its onboard autonomous sytems, without remote control or pilot inputs. https://lnkd.in/eQgbtxKF
