Misram LLC — Department of Defense SBIR Phase I: AF193-CSO1

Description

Spectronn’s patented solutions encompass dual-use: (a) software defined multi-access edge computing (MEC) for resilient wireless communications with dynamic network prioritization based on mission policies and real-time bandwidth, latency and other measurements; (b) smart and distributed group collaboration (video, audio, chat, and file transfer) (Android and iOS) mobile and web Apps/services that work even if there is no Internet connection or very poor wireless bandwidth; and (c) AI-based video analytics at the mobile edge. Product deployment with commercial customers at major events such as the 2019 Boston Marathon and DHS operational live exercise significantly de-risk the proposed technical solution for AFRL/DoD use cases. The current solution will be implemented with minor modifications to address the multifactor enabled collaboration service and dynamic network prioritization needs of the U.S. Air Force and other DoD customers. The distributed MEC edge cloud architecture mitigates unreliable or unavailable bandwidth conditions. The proposed collaboration solution will continue to operate even if the network links get disconnected completely, i.e., video, audio, chat, and file transfer collaboration even in offline mode. Close collaboration with the Air Force Research Laboratory will aid in identifying a customer for an initial pilot trial. Lessons from the trial will inform Phase II plan.
