HUMANITARIAN AND ENVIRONMENTAL
Applying AI, machine learning, and prediction capabilities to protect ecosystems and provide better threat detection and disaster response
Our decades of government-funded innovation provide a launchpad for revolutionary applications that can transform healthcare, dramatically improve safety, and evolve environmental solutions. The humanitarian and environmental domains bring together a wide range of our capabilities—such as sensing and perception; machine learning, modeling, and prediction; and human-centered design of products—to help people, protect animals, and preserve the planet.
Conservation
We use AI and design principles to help protect species and ecosystems, particularly in marine environments. We have adapted computer vision and sensing technologies, originally developed for DoD applications, to detect and identify biological species and protect them from danger.

AWARION
Autonomous lookout systems that improve situational awareness
BERNARD
A decoy that deters specific tortoise predator species
SOUSAPHONE
A networked system for conducting wildlife surveys in dangerous and hard-to-reach environments
NEMO
A detection system that protects marine mammals from collisions and sonar while reducing strain on lookouts
WIMPLE
A wildfire risk assessment and mitigation solution for homeowners and communitiesDisaster Preparation and Response
A broad collection of our technologies come together to provide tools for all stages of disaster preparation and response: assessing risk of a disaster, detecting threats to prevent a disaster, situational awareness during a disaster, and training to help people respond to a disaster.

POINTER
A robotic medical triage system that aids medics during a mass casualty incident
IMPRINT
Virtual reality to enhance training for managing hazardous materials
SCOUT
Sensing technology that detects and characterizes damage from natural disasters using swarms and smart sensors
WIMPLE
A wildfire risk assessment and mitigation solution for homeowners and communities
MIDNIGHT
A system that uses UAV swarms to explore unknown terrain and locate nuclear threats autonomously
VRT3
A VR interface designed for HAZWOPER instructors to enhance safety training
TNT-SCAN
A system to track nuclear threats in urban environmentsEnergy Efficiency
We use our modeling and prediction tools to develop applications to predict and optimize energy usage. These tools combine data-driven machine learning models with physical and probabilistic models to provide comprehensive predictions.
