Research abstract

Ombra, a Florida-based Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), proposes the a dual-use product known as AITK (Artificial Intelligence Toolkit). This fully integrated product will be designed as an integrated solution of the best available technologies to support Force Protection and conduct tactical ISR. AITK will be designed to meet the tactical needs of military personnel when deployed or on-base conducting a Force Protection mission. Airmen are exposed to a variety of threats when stationed in CONUS or when abroad and need a way to operate effectively in today’s near-peer contested environment. This exposure comes while granting access to bases (Force Protection) or while on reconnaissance missions within climates ranging from the Arctic to a desert. The AF will leverage existing technology products to automate Force Protection and surveillance operations using state-of-the-art, real-time, neural networks based Artificial Intelligence (AI), low probability of detection (LPD) comms, revolutionary encryption, and leading ISR sensor capabilities when at home or when operating in proximity to peers.  Mitigation of emerging threats is possible by leveraging commercial technology to separate the Airman from the threat to ensure safety and mission success. AITK is an integrated kit of VC, AFWERX, SOF and Service funded products capable of collecting live video, automatically detecting and recognizing threats in real-time using AI, securely encrypting the video while breaking it into small pieces and intelligently transmitting in communication degraded environments.
