Research abstract

macro-eyes proposed to leverage expertise in collating and analyzing multi-dimensional data sets, including in depth AI expertise with satellite imagery, along with expertise in embedding AI on device for offline line computation to provide GPS denied situational location service to TAK. While TAK is used across the DOD, IC, and public sector, US Air Force Tactical Air Control Party, Combat Control Teams, and Pararescuemen make up one of its largest and most influential user groups. They rely on TAK’s functionality to rapidly plan missions, call for precision fires, communicate across joint platforms and rapidly report critical information during operations. Underpinning all of this functionality is the ability of each operator to rapidly geolocate their position using the Global positioning system. This reliance becomes a critical weakness when facing the rising threat of near pear competitors.
