COLUMBUS, OH and NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / September 14, 2020 / AFWERX, the catalyst for fostering innovation within the U.S. Air Force, announced Cognovi Labs as one of the 178 top participating teams selected from The AFWERX Space Challenge initiative to exhibit at EngageSpace, a virtual two-day event on September 29-30.
The AFWERX Space Challenge initiative is made up of four challenges targeted at creating integrated space operations leveraging the best in technology while maintaining security, being resilient and increasing agility. Four challenges were run concurrently focused on separate topics – Persistent ISR, DoD Commercial Space Partnerships, Global Space Transport and Delivery, and Space Asset Resiliency.
Located in Columbus and Dayton, OH, and in New York City, Cognovi Labs is competing in the Persistent ISR Challenge alongside a diverse group of teams that represent entrepreneurial startups, small businesses, large enterprises, academic institutions and research labs.
"The solutions submitted for these space challenges represent the bleeding edge of space innovation," stated Brennan Townley, AFWERX Challenge Collaboration Lead. "We're excited to highlight these innovators and connect them with opportunities across the Space ecosystem."
The Persistent ISR Challenge strives to bring together the existing and future technology solutions to create a comprehensive Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) system that spans the globe.
"When you consider the instruments of national power and the domains of warfare, and focus on the phases of operations, you always find people making decisions," explains Zach Levy, Cognovi Labs' Managing Director of Federal. "These decisions manifest themselves in various operational environments and areas of interest. The DETER platform, powered by Cognovi Labs' EMOTION AI, is designed to deter the threats that are not aligned with national interests and provides Air Force ISR analysts a unique human-machine teaming platform for quick intervention to ensure force protection and mission success."
"What exemplifies Cognovi Labs' award-winning technology is the interoperability across multiple verticals, from corporate and investments to the Department of Defense," adds Beni Gradwohl, Ph.D., Co-Founder & CEO. "After all, measuring how people make decisions to better predict and shape the outcome is paramount in solving most large-scale problems."
The EngageSpace event will feature highly engaging opportunities to connect, educate and innovate with other like-minded attendees, industry leaders, individual innovators, academia, investors, as well as military and government leaders. The entire event is designed to transform and accelerate the industry, and enable government buyers to pursue the most promising innovative solutions to the most pressing and threatening Space scenarios.
