Stream Engine has signed a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement to support the integration of AI solutions into US Department of Defense workflows.

The three-year project will see the California-based company partner with the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) to deliver enhanced AI models, analyze their future uses, and field them across tactical and intelligence operations.

The firm’s core solution is a real-time behavioral pattern and threat recognition, leveraging large, “unstructured” data sets to deliver “actionable insights.”

The proprietary product was initially offered commercially to analyze branding across audio, visual, and text media, and has since attracted interest from military and cybersecurity organizations.

This AI software can identify and flag threats “as they develop” through different content formats, according to the company.

“This partnership marks a pivotal step in equipping the [Department of Defense] with the most advanced real-time intelligence platform available today,” Stream Engine CEO Brian Kim said.

“We are honored to work with AFRL to further develop this technology and ensure that our warfighters and intelligence professionals have the tools they need to make faster, more informed decisions.”

The announcement follows Stream Engine’s demonstration of its flagship AI for AFRL in Rome, New York, where the military innovation team acknowledged its capabilities for critical applications.

“By diving into AI solutions within industry, AFRL is tapping into a whole-of-nation pool of innovative and agile performers, each hungry to advance national security with their technologies,” AFRL Technical Advisor Dr. Bryant Wysocki explained.

“Collaborative Research and Development Agreements are a key mechanism in that outreach, allowing us to partner early and persistently. Working together to quickly deliver superior solutions is the goal.”
