Latent AI Presents Innovative Edge AI Solutions at AFCEA West with Sigma Defense and Abaco Systems

Latent AI Showcases Innovative Edge AI Solutions

Latent AI, renowned for its cutting-edge edge AI technologies, recently announced that it will exhibit its interoperable edge AI ecosystem at AFCEA West, taking place in San Diego from February 10 to 12. This demonstration is a collaboration with Sigma Defense and Abaco Systems, signaling a significant step towards implementing advanced AI solutions in military operations.

Aligned with the Department of Defense's Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA), Latent AI's demonstration aims to showcase a seamless integration of AI technologies that operate across various hardware platforms. This initiative addresses the military's need to minimize integration complexities and reduce dependency on specific vendors, fostering a more flexible and efficient operational environment.

The Edge AI Advantage

Real-time intelligence is crucial for military operations, particularly in environments characterized by denied, degraded, intermittent, and low-bandwidth (DDIL) conditions. Traditional cloud-based systems often fall short in these scenarios. Latent AI's approach emphasizes the importance of adaptive edge AI which enables decision-making closer to where actions take place.

Latent AI's adaptive edge AI leverages its optimized AI and Field Tactical Suite (FTS), proven effective in both the Navy's Project APFIT and the Army's Project Linchpin. This technology allows military personnel to deploy, update, and refine AI models directly in the field within a matter of minutes, as opposed to the typical days or weeks required for traditional systems. By eliminating dependence on centralized cloud infrastructure, these edge AI solutions ensure sustained operational performance regardless of external conditions.

Strategic Partnerships for Enhanced Capabilities

A key element of this demonstration is Latent AI's partnership with Sigma Defense. By integrating its containerized AI services with Sigma Defense's Olympus platform, the companies are set to deliver secure orchestration and automated software updates at tactical levels. Olympus plays a vital role in ensuring efficient AI delivery, particularly in circumstances where bandwidth is limited or non-existent.

Furthermore, the collaboration with Abaco Systems enhances the integration of adaptive edge AI with rugged, mission-ready hardware designed to withstand extreme operational conditions. Abaco Systems offers a range of mission computers characterized by high-performance capabilities while adhering to size, weight, and power (SWaP) constraints, ensuring compatibility with Latent AI’s hardware-agnostic models.

Leadership Insights

Jags Kandasamy, CEO of Latent AI, emphasized that simply having edge AI is not sufficient for real-world military applications. He stated, “AI must be adaptive, interoperable, and supported by a resilient ecosystem to ensure continued operations as conditions evolve.” This sentiment is echoed by Matt Jones, CEO of Sigma Defense, who highlighted that mission success in future warfare demands not just additional hardware, but the right applications and capabilities that can perform in disconnected environments.

Simon Collins, director of product management at Abaco Systems, also recognizes the potential of this partnership, stating that it will bring advanced AI capabilities into their products while improving the operational performance of defense-grade hardware.

Experience It Live

Attendees at AFCEA West will have the opportunity to witness Latent AI's innovative solutions live at their booth (Booth 4306), alongside Sigma Defense (Booth 1133) and Abaco Systems (Booth 2315). Visitors can explore how the collaborative efforts in integrating optimized AI, secure orchestration, and robust hardware can deliver vital real-time intelligence in the field.
