OMBRA LLC — Department of Defense SBIR Phase I: AF211-CSO1

Description

Ombra, a Florida-based Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), proposes the dual-use product known as ISRTK (Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance Toolkit). Airmen are exposed to a variety of threats when stationed in CONUS or when abroad and need a way to operate effectively in today’s near-peer contested environment. This exposure comes while granting access to bases (Force Protection) or while on reconnaissance missions within climates ranging from the Arctic to a desert. Operating in proximity to peers requires a revolutionary U.S. made drone, low probability of detection (LPD) comms, encryption, and state-of-the-art video transmitted over reasonable distances. Mitigation of these threats is possible by leveraging commercial technology to separate the Airman from the threat to ensure safety and mission success. ISRTK includes the capture and enhancement of Electro-Optical Infra-Red (EO/IR) persistent ISR remotely transmitted within a COTS mesh network. ISRTK is an integrated kit of VC, AFWERX, SOF and Service funded products capable of collecting live video, automatically enhancing it in real-time, securely encrypting it while breaking it into small pieces and intelligently transmitting in communication degraded environments. ISRTK will be deployed to a vast range of operational and commercial environments.
