Paladin AI
Founder Adolfo Klassen, Mikhail Klassen
Category Data-driven adaptive pilot training using AI
Location Montreal, Canada
Product

Paladin AI uses artificial intelligence to develop competency-based training systems for aviation. Their cloud-hosted analytics platform, InstructIQTM, allows training providers to access
insights into their trainee’s development and increase the effectiveness of their curricula. Paladin AI integrates with existing training devices (flight simulators) to combine millions of data points and use machine learning algorithms to extract competency metrics, predict future trainee aptitudes, and optimize training delivery.

Deepwave Digital
Founder John Ferguson
Category Enabling technologies
Location Philadelphia, PA
Product

Deepwave has developed the Artificial Intelligence Radio Transceiver (AIR-T), a software defined radio with three signal processors including an embedded NVIDIA GPU, a field programmable gate array (FPGA), and dual embedded CPUs. The incorporation of a GPU in the RF system allows for wideband processing of deep learning in a deployed environment.

AnsuR
Founder Harald Skinnemoen
Category Enabling technologies
Location Fomebu, Norway
Product

AnsuR helps users communicate high precision visual content using a minimum of bandwidth. AnsuR software allows the receiver of audio-visual content to interact with the original data at the sender side, and focus network resources on sending operationally relevant content. Additionally, video encoders can adapt the rate of coding to unknown network capacity, using feedback from the receiver and finally allows senders to be connected to several types of networks simultaneously. Solutions specifically support mobile satellite communications.

C4 Systems
Founder Tomer Orbach
Category Defense
Location Tel Aviv, Israel
Product

C4 Systems has developed a stand-alone augmented reality system for pilots that displays real-time mission information (waypoints, targets, joint forces, hazards, streets…) on a see-through display to aid decision making, optimize fleet coordination, and increase mission efficiency. The system is composed of AR displays, ground control station, and mission computers that connect ground, aerial, and maritime forces in real time.
