Outpost AI provides highly efficient edge analytic processing and secure data transmission via a small form factor edge compute device designed to run in the most rugged operational environments. Outpost AI leverages an on-board deep learning accelerator to structure and analyze significant amounts of data at the edge, in real-time, extracting actionable intelligence using a variety of hot-swappable, custom-trained inference engines. Once extracted, the encrypted data is seamlessly streamed to Airship AI’s back-end enterprise management platform Acropolis, for analysis and distribution.
Under the contracts, Outpost AI solutions will be utilized to support real-time intelligence collection operations along the United States’ borders, providing local high-definition recording with user defined low-bit rate video stream encoding, and on-board edge analytic capabilities for advanced object detection and recognition.
“These awards affirm Airship AI’s strategic vision of providing tailored solutions designed to meet exacting and rapidly evolving technical requirements for those on our nation’s front lines,” said Paul Allen, President of Airship AI. “Airship AI remains committed to working alongside those protecting the homeland to ensure they have the solutions they need, when they need them, where they need them.”
