SBIR-STTR Award

Teleqo Technical Solutions, in partnership with Michigan Technological University, proposes to be the end-to end solution to collect, process, integrate, correlate, and analyze physical and cyber data sets to provide accurate, robust, and continuous situational awareness of the battlespace. Through the STTR process, Teleqo can expand its multi-sensor collection and visualization platforms in support of Air Force requirements for distributed intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance of the environment. Teleqo’s TRAVERSE collection platform will fuse lidar, imagery, and Radio Frequency (RF) signals sensors onto a single platform that can be implemented from a ground-based vehicle or aerial asset. These data streams can then be processed and ingested into Teleqo’s HAVEN visualization platform, during which Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) can be applied to extract assets and derive insights. The HAVEN platform will be developed using Esri APIs and SDKs, guaranteeing simple integration with the Air Force’s existing Arc product suite. By harnessing the power of the TRAVERSE and HAVEN platforms, the Air Force would not only be able to identify objects based on physical and wireless signatures, but would also be able to geolocate and categorize RF signals in the battlespace, with the options to view and interact with the layered data in 2D maps, 3D maps, 360 imagery, or the point cloud. HAVEN additionally would provide the ability to model RF propagation and predict environmental impacts to RF signals, such as construction, vegetation encroachment, etc. The potential customers for this technology include AFRL/RI - Information Directorate, as well as the AFLCMC/HNC within the Cryptological and Cyber System Division. Additionally, Teleqo Tech has received a Letter of Interest from AF/ICO, which is attached in the Supporting Documents.

To understand this multi-dimensional battlespace, the Department of Defense (DoD) must implement a variety of sensors to collect physical and cyber data. Furthermore, this data must be processed and integrated into a cohesive system that facilitates prediction, planning, and effective interaction within the battlespace environment. Teleqo Tech proposes an end-to-end solution to collect, process, integrate, and visualize physical and cyber data sets to provide unparalleled situational awareness of the 3D battlespace. During the STTR Phase I process, Teleqo validated the requirement to modify its commercial offering for the DoD. In the STTR Phase II process, Teleqo proposes to expand its multi-sensor collection and visualization platforms in support of Air Force requirements. This research and development effort will focus on collecting, correlating, and displaying 2D (RF collection, imagery) and 3D data (LiDAR point cloud) to better understand physical and cyber baselines and anomalies to drive operational decisions.
