EpiSci has already established itself as a leader in the trusted AI and autonomy space within the defense industry through successful demonstrations and flight tests performed under various programs such as DARPA Air Combat Evolution and AFRL Golden Horde, with a growing list of customers that includes government agencies, defense contractors, and commercial companies. The new funding will allow the company to expand Tactical AI to reach new markets, while also investing in key talent and technology maturation.
“With the support of our investors, we’re confident we’ll be able to support a wider range of platforms, enabling our customers to operate with improved safety and effectiveness while experiencing a boost in performance,” said Bo Ryu.
EpiSci is a cross-disciplinary artificial intelligence company that develops next generation mission autonomy solutions for national security problems. Demonstrated in flight on platforms from networked, collaborative and autonomous swarm surrogates, to live F-16 dogfighting, EpiSci’s Tactical AI family of autonomous systems are powerful, reliable, and quickly adaptable to emerging missions and challenges. Additional applications include human-centric man-unmanned teaming for next generation air dominance, developing advanced wireless tactical communication systems for first responders, and powering autonomous unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) swarms with sensor fusion.
