SBIR-STTR Award

Intelligent detection and imaging technology hold considerable value for Department of Defense to attain situational awareness and advantage over opposing forces, and for aid in navigating potentially dangerous marine and terrestrial environments. Technologies obtain intelligence on underwater threats and can gather intelligence on approaching surface threats. Current sensor technologies require active, manned monitoring to identify valued targets or threats. Successful and efficient use of intel is crucial for strategic information warfare in real-life scenarios where lives are at stake. A team led by Hydronalix proposes to conceptualize and create a comprehensive, platform equipped with different sensors for near real-time target detection and recognition using advanced AI and ML technologies.

Artificial intelligence-assisted detection and imaging technology can gather data on underwater, surface, and aerial threats to gain situational awareness over opposing forces, and aids in navigating dangerous marine and terrestrial environments. Successful and efficient use of intel is crucial for strategic information warfare, but many current technologies require active monitoring to identify targets. A team led by Hydronalix proposes to design comprehensive covert platform elements that demonstrate real-time target detection and recognition using advanced AI and ML technologies for aerial, surface, and sub-surface targets that’s accessible from a cellular app to aid in warzone environments and conceptualize sub-surface USV deployments.
