Synaptic Aviation has been selected by AFWERX for a SBIR Direct-to-Phase II contract focused on utilizing Synaptic Aviation's AI technology to address the most pressing challenges of the Department of the Air Force (DAF). Synaptic Aviation will deploy its enterprise-grade AI software solution in a test environment to enable the DAF to monitor and improve upon its operational safety procedures.
The Air Force Research Laboratory and AFWERX have partnered to streamline the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) process by accelerating the small business experience through faster proposal to award timelines, changing the pool of potential applicants by expanding opportunities to small business and eliminating bureaucratic overhead by continually implementing process improvement changes in contract execution. More than 1000 projects/proposals were submitted for evaluation and less than 10% were selected for the recent Phase II round. Synaptic Aviation was selected for its disruptive approach to mitigating operational safety risks by providing its innovative AI software models which will in turn strengthen the national defense of the United States of America.
"We are honored to collaborate with the United States Air Force to deliver advanced AI-based aviation technology that will bring increased efficiency and safety to the operations supporting our national security," said Juan Gomez, CEO, Synaptic Aviation.
