GA-ASI MQ-9 Reaper to get SRC Agile Condor AI Supercomputer Pod to integrate Sensors Onboard
Reaper Drones to Master AI with Agile Condor Super Computing Pod - Defense Update:: General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. has been awarded a contract from the U.S. Air Force (USAF) to demonstrate the Air Force Research Lab’s “Agile Condor” capability using a company-owned MQ-9 Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA). The testing will determine the optimum artificial intelligence and machine learning methodologies to find, identify and track select targets. Agile Condor also has the potential to dramatically reduce satellite bandwidth requirements as a result of its ability to automatically identify, classify, and nominate targets of interest. - Defense Update:Agile Condor HPEC Pod for Air Force | SRC, Inc.
Agile Condor® HPEC Pod for Air Force
The Agile Condor technology is
capable of being flown on remotely piloted aircraft in a pod-based
enclosure and enables on-board, high-performance embedded computing to
derive real-time, actionable intelligence
SRC has been focused on solving myriad problems that exist
around the data analysis requirements of intelligence, surveillance and
reconnaissance (ISR) missions. In an effort to bring big data analysis
closer to the sensor, SRC has developed the Agile Condor® high performance embedded computing architecture for the Air Force Research Lab (AFRL) in Rome, NY. The Agile Condor
pod system is a scalable, low cost, size, weight and power (low-CSWaP)
hardware architecture that enables high-performance embedded computing
(HPEC) on-board remotely piloted aircraft (RPA).From the 2015 IEEE High Performance and Embedded Computing Conference
HPEC is the largest computing conference in New England and is the premier conference in the world on the convergence of High Performance and Embedded Computing.18_Paper52AgileCondor-HPEC15-v4.pdf
