    CFD Research Awarded AFRL Contract to Develop Sensing Technologies for Military Applications
     

    Dayton, Ohio (October 23, 2024) – CFD Research has been awarded a $12M contract from the Sensors

    Directorate of Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base to provide for the

    development of novel, autonomous sensing technologies for military requirements and to adapt state-of-the-art

    commercial tools to battlefield conditions. Research objectives involve knowledge generation and

    management.


    “Trusted autonomous systems will be required to execute effectively in the near future battlespace,” said George Dalton, CFD Research’s Vice President for Intelligence and Sensing. “The goal of ADMIT(Autonomous Decision Making in Technology) is to conduct applied research in the use of novel autonomous sensing technologies to develop adaptive Air Force enhanced targeting, situational awareness, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities, leveraging commercial tools where available, and deliver

    these capabilities at relevant speeds to the warfighter.”


    In this effort, the team will work with multiple sensors, intelligence types, and domains to create mission

    essential knowledge. These research efforts will apply machine and deep learning techniques to fuse soft and

    hard sources. Techniques will automate knowledge representation as well as data generation, conversion,

    fusion, and exploitation.


    “The success of this research is key to closing the kill chain in ever decreasing timelines,” said Sameer Singhal, President and CEO of CFD Research. “Developing integrated sensing capabilities, while revolutionizing our processes, will require robust autonomous systems that can outthink the adversary in real time. CFD Research is excited to partner with AFRL to conduct this critical research. This is another great step in expanding and applying our AI/ML capabilities”
