Research abstract
VADER is an AI-powered voice assistant, adapted for the DoD maintenance domain. As a "Siri for maintainers", VADER allows maintainers to talk naturally to log activities at the time of service eliminating costly, error prone end-of-shift data entry tasks increasing mission-capable rates and improving data quality to facilitate downstream predictive maintenance initiatives. VADER combines a voice interface with RedShred’s existing commercial document understanding and knowledge graph platform to meet MRO stakeholder needs. The team combines startup veterans, military advisors, data scientists, and research collaborators with a track record of commercializing cutting edge R&D.
