Vana Solutions - SBIR Direct to Phase II

The Department of the Air Force (DAF) requires the ability for agile development and deployment of AI and ML capabilities to quickly convert and exploit disparate data to provide actionable information. Vana Solutions LLC (Vana) is proposing is to deliver a solution that empowers people closest to the processes and data by providing a cloud agnostic, multi-use, configurable orchestration engine, which can facilitate common and unique requirements, such as AI and ML deployment, without the need for code development. Using a build once and configure/use everywhere mentality can greatly reduce the time it takes to field mission capabilities while minimizing/removing common barriers, such as time and cost. Having the required security, monitoring, and auditing controls built into the reusable platform will also greatly reduce the ongoing costs for maintaining operational availability, performance, and security accreditations to leverage the capabilities available in the cloud, accelerating adoption. Vana, an innovator in digital transformation and agile strategies, is currently delivering transformation initiatives for both large Commercial companies and inside the DoD for the Air Force, Space Force, and Defense Health Agency (DHA). One of Vana’s unique differentiators is the fact that we operate in both the Commercial and Federal space.  This provides us the opportunity to innovate and deliver our solutions in the Commercial environment while understanding the complexities of delivering solutions into the Federal space and seeking opportunities to transition.  It is through these experiences that we have seen both the problem and opportunity as we partner with organizations to digitally transform becoming more agile, people-focused, and innovative. Vana is proposing to enhance our commercial service, vIOLA, in support of the SBIR program to transition our solution to the DAF and other Government agencies. Our proposed SBIR Phase II efforts will continue to innovate and contribute to making Air Force organizations streamlined, efficient, and able to leverage opportunities to maintain warfighter dominance.
