Analytical AI works with AFWERX to make airfields safer

BIRMINGHAM, ALABAMA, UNITED STATES, June 12, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ -- Analytical AI announces it has been selected by AFWERX for a Direct-to-Phase II SBIR in the amount of $1.25 million focused on the research, development, and deployment of an AI enabled foreign object debris detection system on airfields to investigate its potential to fill capability gaps in the Department of the Air Force (DAF). 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 a faster proposal to award timelines, changing the pool of potential applicants by expanding opportunities to small business and losing bureaucratic overhead by continually implementing process improvement changes in contract execution. The DAF began offering 'The Open Topic' SBIR/STTR program in 2018 which expanded the range of innovations the DAF funded and now from November 2022, Analytical AI has started its journey to create and provide innovative capabilities that will strengthen the national defense of the United States of America.
