NVDA - Airship AI Awarded Contract With DOJ Agency Marking Second Big Government Contract Win Since December IPO | Benzinga
Airship AI Holdings (NASDAQ:AISP), the Redmond, Washington, artificial intelligence company helping U.S. Homeland Security agencies monitor the nation's border, announced that it won a large contract with an agency within the Department of Justice to support emerging public safety and investigative requirements.
The DOJ will use Airship AI's Acropolis Enterprise Video and Data Management Platform which is capable of gleaning actionable information in real-time from several sources including body cams, surveillance cameras, drones and CCTV, among others. Airship AI said it won the sole-source contract with the DOJ agency because it was the only company bidding on it capable of providing the necessary technology.
Airship AI's Acropolis backend enterprise management system will enable the agency to manage devices and sensors across the entire digital ecosystem – directly to the cloud or through Airship AI's Outpost AI Edge Appliance. Built on the NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA) Jetson platform, Outpost AI provides advanced analytic processing at the edge, along with highly efficient video and metadata encoding and encryption over various RF and network backhauls back to the cloud. The management system, which can be deployed in specialized law enforcement agencies, has been engineered to meet law enforcement-specific needs including workflow for preserving evidence, advanced auditing capabilities, virtualized server instances and individualized cases for adaptive compartmentalization of sensitive data and video.
