Third Agency within the Department of Justice to Deploy Acropolis for Their Nationwide Public Safety and Investigative Requirements
REDMOND, Wash., June 11, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Airship AI Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: AISP) (“Airship AI” or the “Company”), a leader in AI-driven video, sensor, and data management surveillance solutions, has been awarded a large base year plus four (4) option year contract to an agency within the Department of Justice (DOJ) for the Company’s Acropolis Enterprise Sensor Management video and data management platform supporting emerging public safety and investigative requirements.
“This award represents a substantial expansion of an existing deployment of our Acropolis eco-system, validating our ability to scale in size and scope as the agencies requirements grow,” said Paul Allen, President of Airship AI. “Equally as exciting is the customer will be leveraging work done by other agencies within the DOJ and Department of Homeland Security to migrate from existing on-premises operations to a FedRAMP certified cloud environment, a government-wide program that provides a standardized approach to security assessment, authorization, and continuous monitoring for cloud products and services.”
Airship AI’s Acropolis backend enterprise management system enables customers to manage devices and sensors across their entire digital eco-system, directly to the cloud or through Airship AI’s Outpost AI Edge Appliance. Built on the NVIDIA Jetson platform, Outpost AI provides advanced analytic processing at the edge, along with highly efficient video and metadata encoding and encryption over various radio and network backhauls back to the cloud.
“Reflected in our existing pipeline for 2024, we believe the successful conversion of this opportunity into a potentially long-term contractual relationship further signifies the strength and maturity of our pipeline,” added Mr. Allen. “The work required to validate the capabilities of a product for agency requirements and then take it through the process to be certified technically to run on government networks, including up to FedRAMP high, is a lengthy and substantial process. It’s a testament to the strength of our platform and our team that we continue converting agencies to Airship and then expand that footprint once installed.”
