  • SRC, Inc., a defense research and development company, secured a $24 million contract with the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL).
  • The contract aims to enhance next-generation embedded artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) capabilities across ground, air, and space domains.
  • SRC is tasked with developing new ML algorithms, high-performance embedded computing architectures, and ultra-low size, weight, and power (SWaP) hardware.
  • The project emphasizes advancing edge processing, aimed at parsing large amounts of data and running complex algorithms directly onboard platforms.
  • SRC is focusing on substantially accelerating onboard data processing as the U.S. Air Force transitions to distributed and attritable systems in contested environments.
