Small Firm's Largest SBIR Contract Connects Disparate Military Systems with AI Translator

Picogrid has won a $9.3 million SBIR contract to connect disparate counter-drone defenses at selected Air Force bases using its ’translator’ software written by AI. The translator, called Legion, connects hitherto incompatible military systems, such as radars and jammers, according to Breaking Defense reports. Picogrid’s cofounder Martin Slosarik said the company has been able to integrate seven different platforms in about 70 minutes using AI, a significant improvement from last year.
