On July 7, HII’s Mission Technologies division announced that two of its spectrum dominance and awareness products have achieved awardable status through the Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office’s (CDAO) Tradewinds Solutions Marketplace.
The Tradewinds Solutions Marketplace is the premier offering of Tradewinds, the U.S. Department of War’s (DoW) suite of tools and services designed to accelerate the procurement and adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI)/Machine Learning (ML), data and analytics capabilities.
“Achieving awardable status underscores how HII is delivering ready-to-deploy solutions to the warfighter,” said Grant Hagen, president of Mission Technologies’ Warfare Systems group. “This designation accelerates access for our government partners and validates the operational impact and mission-relevance of these capabilities.”
HII’s GRIMM is a compact, high-performance spectrum dominance solution that is designed for real-time geolocation and direction-finding of adversary signals and emitters of interest. Engineered for low size, weight, power and cost, the payload provides enhanced situational awareness, intelligence support and force protection capability.
VIPER (Volumetric Integrative Propagation Engine for Ray-Tracing) is an electromagnetic modeling and synthetic data generation capability that acts as a high-resolution channel emulator producing realistic RF scenario data to train AI-based algorithms. It solves critical AI data scarcity in Cognitive Electronic Warfare (EW) and counter unmanned aerial system (UAS) while eliminating the high costs, risks and limitations of live-fly testing.
Integrating these technologies onto manned and unmanned platforms will expand spectrum awareness, ensuring forces can detect, characterize and respond to threats across every domain, the company said.
