AI-enabled software project kicks off between RTI and U.S. Air Force
Mission-critical software company Real-Time Innovations won a $1.25 million Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II contract intended to help the U.S. Air Force create a secure, standardized, and reliable artificial intelligence (AI) framework for interaction between software agents, humans, and target environments.
RTI's RTI Connext tool will be used as the open standards communication backbone for the effort; according to the company's announcement, Connext addresses the distributed communication needs for critical systems of all sizes, enabling heightened modularity and less code, which also brings down development costs. The announcement describes Connext as a tool that offers access control, security, self-discovery, and extensive operational deployment in critical systems. It is also supported by both open-source and commercial implementations.
