PRESCIENT EDGE CORPORATION — Department of Defense SBIR Phase I: AF211-CSO1
PRESCIENT EDGE CORPORATION — SBIR Phase I award from Department of Defense.
Phase I SBIR feasibility signal
- Phase I awards fund proof-of-concept work. For capture teams, they mark early interest from Department of Defense in a technical approach.
- Watch for Phase II follow-ons from the same firm/topic family — that conversion path is where budgets and transition pressure rise.
- Obligated amount $49,867. Cross-check similar awards in the same agency and technology tags for going-rate context.
- Topic code AF211-CSO1 links this award to a solicitation family — search the same topic stem for incumbents and recompete timing.

Description
Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) are an ever present and increasing threat to the Joint Force. Prescient Edge proposes the development of a federated learning computer vision UAS detection, identification, and tracking AI that can be deployable into existing visual sensors and integrate into JADC2 systems. Relative to traditional computer vision, Prescient Edge’s unique federated learning approach creates an AI that is (1) more secure, (2) requires less computational power (3) requires less connectivity, and (4) provides more tailored solutions for localized operational conditions. Prescient Edge will baseline development from their commercially available AI platform and develop a federated computer vision software that integrates into current sensors, “train” the AI to meet the accuracy, sensitivity, and responsiveness requirements, and develop a “tipping and cueing” function that alerts and vectors a response.
