ZE Government Solutions (ZEGS), a wholly owned subsidiary of AI-based gun detection pioneer ZeroEyes announced that it has been selected by AFWERX for an SBIR Phase I contract to investigate the potential of Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) technology for threat detection to fill capability gaps in the Department of the Air Force (DAF).
AI-based detection + LiDAR
The integrated solution will combine ZEGS’ AI-based object detection video analytics with LiDAR data. This will enable operation teams to proactively identify, track, and respond in real-time to imminent threats that are obstructed by a variety of materials.
This critical situational awareness will give them the upper hand when unknown threats are nearby or inside buildings.
Innovative capabilities
The Air Force Research Laboratory and AFWERX have partnered to streamline the SBIR and STTR process
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 programme in 2018 which expanded the range of innovations the DAF funded and in September 2023, ZEGS will continue its journey to create and provide innovative capabilities that will strengthen the national defence of the United States of America.
Situational awareness platform
“We look forward to demonstrating how ZeroEyes’ AI gun detection and situational awareness platform can integrate with LiDAR technology to assist with our national defence,” said Mike Lahiff, CEO and co-founder of ZeroEyes, the parent company of ZEGS.
“By merging these cutting-edge technologies, we will enable our armed forces to detect and neutralise hidden threats rapidly and effectively, giving them an unparalleled advantage against aggressors.” The views expressed are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of the Department of the Air Force, the Department of Defence, or the U.S. government.
