CICERO, N.Y. — The Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) has awarded SRC, Inc. a $24 million contract to develop next-generation, embedded artificial intelligence and machine-learning capabilities across ground, air and space domains.
Based in Cicero, SRC, Inc. is a nonprofit defense research and development company.
Through the contract, SRC will develop new machine-learning algorithms, high-performance embedded computing capabilities and ultra-low size, weight and power (SWaP) hardware.
This research and development work will “empower the military without depending on external networks,” SRC said. These capabilities are designed for missions that include on-board data processing, situational awareness, and information analysis.
The effort focuses on advancing “edge processing,” the ability to parse large amounts of data and run complex algorithms directly on-board a platform instead of relying on distant data centers. SRC’s work aims to “significantly accelerate” data processing.
“We’re proud to continue our collaboration with AFRL as we advance the next generation of embedded at-the-edge computing,” Kevin Hair, president and CEO of SRC, Inc., said in the announcement. “These advancements will strengthen operational effectiveness and provide greater agility and precision in rapidly evolving environments.”
