ANONYMOUS A.I INC — Department of Defense SBIR Phase I: X224-OCSO1

Description

Russia is invading Ukraine and is on NATO’s doorstep. China threatens Taiwan. The Air Force requires clear language communication in order to train, advise, and assist its allies to counter these threats. The Air Force faces shortages in linguists, interpreters, and translators in strategic languages like Ukrainian.  This limits effective communication and collaboration with allies. To address this challenge, DeepMedia will conduct an R/R&D feasibility study to modify and adapt its Universal Translator ™ offering to enable near-real time language translation from one language to another to strengthen Air Force / DoD alliances against adversaries. DeepMedia’s Universal Translator platform uses synthetic media to create “deepfakes” of an individual speaking in another language without dubbing, subtitles, or human translators. This enables faster, more accurate, and scalable near real-time translation of Air Force personnel into other languages. This will facilitate easier communication in large-scale training exercises, humanitarian assistance / disaster relief, and real world military operations, without requiring individual translators or being hamstrung by critical skills shortages.
