Camgian was recently awarded a $23 million contract by the U.S. Army to provide counter-unmanned aerial systems for combat use. The duo will work on advanced AI-powered C-UAS capabilities that will strengthen force protection against UAS swarms through coordinated, independent, and dispersed C-UAS platforms.
The company has offices in both Huntsville and Tuscaloosa.
“At Camgian, we’re committed to providing our warfighters the world’s most advanced capabilities,” said CEO and Chairman Dr. Gary Butler. “We are excited for the opportunity to bring leading-edge AI technologies to the air defense fight.”
Work on the contract will focus on the use of data fusion and sensor and effector integration to provide enhanced soldier situational awareness and system responsiveness on the battlefield. Camgian’s Reactor kill chain automation platform will be utilized to enable rapid, robust situational awareness and weapon-to-target assignments across distributed networks of disparate air defense systems. Leveraging advanced technologies in reinforcement learning, these new capabilities will significantly enhance the warfighter’s understanding of and responsiveness to complex and dynamic aerial threats.
Dr. Ralph Crosby is the Product Technical Lead.
“Defense against increasingly larger swarms of drones is becoming more important in the modern battlefield,” said Crosby. “Camgian is uniquely positioned to provide the Army with a system that can be quickly scaled to rapidly identify and mitigate large numbers of aerial threats.”
Other project leaders also emphasized the impact of Camgian’s products on the military.
“I am deeply proud of our team’s work in developing cutting-edge AI-driven C-UAS solutions,” stated Senior Product Manager Gary Hsieh. “This collaboration highlights our commitment to innovation and our dedication to enhancing the safety and effectiveness of our warfighters against evolving aerial threats.”
