ROME, N.Y. — The U.S. Army selected ANDRO Computational Solutions, LLC to participate in Cyber Quest 2025, an Army-focused warfighting experiment (AFWE), the Rome company announced in a press release.
This will allow its team to conduct soldier touch point (STP) experiments for its artificial intelligence (AI) driven electronic-support technology, DeepSPEC.
ANDRO’s DeepSPEC and related solutions use AI to deliver electronic warfare, providing enhanced situational awareness, streamlined electronic operations, and improved effectiveness of Army forces in complex environments. As part of Cyber Quest 2025, DeepSPEC will undergo a series of critical field trials in real-world STP experiments, allowing the Army to assess its impact on operational effectiveness and battlefield performance.
“We are honored to have been selected by the U.S. Army for this experimentation opportunity,” Jithin Jagannath, ANDRO chief technology officer and chief scientist, said in the press release. “The integration of our DeepSPEC technology into STP experiments marks a significant milestone in the advancement of AI-driven EW solutions.”
The Cyber Quest 2025 initiative is a forward-looking program designed to evaluate and integrate emerging technologies that support the Army’s modernization priorities. STP experiments are a critical component of the initiative, providing an opportunity for soldiers to interact with new technologies in operational environments and provide feedback for further development and refinement.
“The collaboration with Marconi-Rosenblatt AI Innovation Lab of ANDRO Computational Solutions, LLC, and the integration of DeepSPEC into our soldier touch point experiments will provide us with invaluable insights as we continue to push the boundaries of innovation and ensure our soldiers have the tools they need to succeed in the rapidly evolving landscape of modern warfare,” Major James Harryman, Cyber Quest 2025 lead planner, said in the announcement.
