Alpine's signal processing and machine learning approach will help operators maintain situational awareness of the electromagnetic spectrum
CHANTILLY, Va., Nov. 7, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Alpine Method Technologies, LLC (Alpine) announces it has been selected by AFWERX for a Direct-to-Phase II SBIR in the amount of $1.25M focused on guiding operators through the research and monitoring of signals in the electromagnetic spectrum to address the most pressing challenges in the Department of the Air Force (DAF).
The Air Force Research Laboratory and AFWERX have partnered to streamline the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) process by accelerating the small business experience through faster proposal to award timelines, changing the pool of potential applicants by expanding opportunities to small business and eliminating bureaucratic overhead by continually implementing process improvement changes in contract execution. The DAF began offering the Open Topic SBIR/STTR program in 2018 which expanded the range of innovations the DAF funded and now on September 5th, 2023, Alpine will start its journey to create and provide innovative capabilities that will strengthen the national defense of the United States of America.
"Alpine recognizes the challenges that operators face when dealing with an increasingly complex and dynamic operating environment", said Michael Szalkowski, Co-Founder of Alpine. "Our innovation provides operator-focused capability that accelerates existing manpower and optimizes spectrum analysis, without unrealistically relying on significant amounts of labeled data. Alpine looks forward to delivering a novel solution that achieves product-mission fit for our stakeholders, while continuously incorporating operational feedback in order to scale with future challenges."
