The Syracuse Research Corporation (SRC) has secured a significant $24 million contract from the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) aimed at enhancing next-generation embedded artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) technologies across various military platforms, including ground, air, and space.
This ambitious initiative is set to revolutionize how military forces manage decision-making processes and analyze data in real-time. By integrating advanced AI capabilities directly at the operational edge, SRC aims to minimize dependence on remote networks, thereby improving the speed and effectiveness of military operations.
The contract outlines SRC’s commitment to developing cutting-edge machine learning algorithms, as well as high-performance embedded computing architectures that can withstand the highly demanding environments of military applications. A key focus of the project is to create ultra-low size, weight, and power hardware, making it feasible to deploy these advanced technologies in versatile and challenging settings.
This venture aligns with ongoing efforts to modernize military capabilities, emphasizing the strategic importance of embedded AI in enhancing operational effectiveness. As the technology continues to evolve, its integration into defense systems could provide significant advantages in information processing and decision-making in the field.
