Open Call for Innovative Defense-Related Dual-Purpose Technologies/Solutions with a Clear Air Force Stakeholder Need

This SBIR Phase I project represents an advancement in a platform for battery data management and advanced analytics. This platform has applications across the battery value chain - from mining of raw materials to production and assembly to systems integration and field deployment. Our twin goals for the SBIR Phase 1 are to: a) strengthen the foundation of our battery data management platform by developing integrations with new battery hardware vendors and b) conduct a feasibility study to learn more about Air Force Research Lab (AFRL) battery R&D teams, their requirements, and their downstream customers. Astrolabe is in the process of developing a suite of workflow tools for battery researchers to lay the foundation for future battery infrastructure and predictive analytics offerings. Our prototype system is already in use by 1 paid customer and a half dozen other beta clients. The platform consists of integrations with major hardware vendors to load data into our cloud database. A second effort is concerned with analytics for routine data visualization, dashboarding and reporting to save time and provide greater visibility for our users into their testing data. This translates to faster sales cycles and higher KPIs (yield, uptime) for labs adopting our solution.
