STARKVILLE, MS – 30 January 2018 – Camgian Microsystems Corporation announced today receipt of a $3 million contract award from the US Department of Defense (DOD) as part of their 2017 Rapid Innovation Fund (RIF) program. The program, the company’s third RIF award, will fund advancements to Camgian’s Egburt Internet of Things (IoT) platform which will serve as an intelligent hub for supporting the large scale collection, processing and distribution of sensor data worldwide. Key technical thrusts include multi-sensor integration, the application of artificial intelligence to sensor processing and big data analytics.
“We are grateful for DOD’s support and look forward to delivering a highly-innovative decision support platform that will enhance the situational awareness of our service men and women in combat,” said Chris Henderson, Vice President of Engineering and Program Manager.
The RIF program is designed to accelerate innovative technologies, primarily from small businesses, into military systems that resolve significant DOD operational challenges. The program goals support DOD’s emphasis on rapid, responsive acquisition and the engagement of small, innovative businesses in solving defense needs. The Defense Authorization Act established the program in 2011, appropriating $250 million for 2017. More than 1,700 white papers were submitted in response to the request for proposals.
