CFD Research, one of Huntsville’s exciting homegrown technology companies, has been awarded a $42.6M Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) Phase III contract to help the Air Force integrate artificial intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML) into a variety of sensor systems.
The goal is to implement and refine a framework that uses machine learning, deep learning, edge computing and other advanced technologies to boost the effectiveness of intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance systems, under the ML for Open Systems contract.
“The US Air Force, and the entire DoD, are championing open architecture approaches such as the Sensor Open Systems Architecture (SOSA) to manage future development,” said George Dalton, CFD Research vice president. “Additionally, the Air Force realizes that future systems will require new approaches that leverage Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML) to be competitive in a time-sensitive anti-access/area denial adversarial world.”
“By coupling these two disciplines together, CFD Research is offering low cost, flexible, and efficient methods of developing and delivering future combat systems, sensors, weapons, and vehicles,” Dalton added.
In 2021, the CFD Research made a commitment to the Dayton, Ohio area by opening a local office and hiring George Dalton as VP of Dayton Operations.
“CFD Research has enjoyed supporting Wright Patterson Air Force Base throughout our 35-year history,” said Sameer Singhal, CFD Research president and CEO. “We are proud of our growth in the Dayton community and this SBIR Phase III award will give us the platform to further grow our support to Dayton customers.”
