Insights
OSS secures strategic USSOCOM partnership to develop rugged AI computing systems for maritime special operations, boosting defense sector positioning.
This CRADA between One Stop Systems (OSS) and U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) represents a significant strategic advancement for the company in the defense sector. The partnership focuses on developing high-performance edge computing systems capable of processing AI and ML workloads in austere maritime environments - essentially bringing datacenter-grade computing capabilities to challenging military settings.
The agreement targets a critical military capability gap: enabling "cognitive dominance" for special operations forces through enhanced data processing at the tactical edge. This aligns with broader Department of Defense initiatives to leverage artificial intelligence for battlefield advantage, particularly in contested environments where communication with remote servers may be limited or impossible.
What makes this partnership particularly valuable is its potential to establish OSS as a trusted technology provider within the Special Operations community, which often serves as a testing ground for capabilities later adopted across conventional forces. The company's enterprise-class computing architecture addresses the technical challenge of deploying powerful AI systems in environments with severe space, weight, power and cooling constraints.
While the press release doesn't specify contract value or revenue projections, CRADAs typically serve as pathways to future procurement contracts. This partnership positions OSS within USSOCOM's technology ecosystem during a period of increased defense spending on autonomous systems and AI applications, potentially opening doors to larger production contracts if the technology demonstrations prove successful.
Partnership to develop rugged edge AI/ML compute solutions to improve cognitive dominance for U.S. Special Operations Forces
Agreement aligns with OSS’ strategy to expand offerings and establish embedded relationships across the U.S. Department of Defense
ESCONDIDO, Calif., May 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- One Stop Systems, Inc. (“OSS” or the "Company") (Nasdaq: OSS), a leader in rugged Enterprise Class compute for artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML) and sensor processing at the Edge, today announced that the Company has entered into a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) to create advanced, durable High Performance edge Computer (HPeC) solutions that can process vast amounts of data quickly and efficiently in the field.
Under the CRADA, OSS will demonstrate its current, cutting-edge AI and ML computing solutions designed specifically for rugged, edge environments to advance USSOCOM maritime platform performance and capabilities. The partnership leverages OSS’ expertise in designing Enterprise Class compute systems that operate in extreme conditions such as harsh climates or remote locations. Solutions under development will support a strategic initiative of USSOCOM, which seeks to enhance the situational awareness, decision-making, and operational capabilities of special operations forces (SOF) in maritime operations. By leveraging AI and ML at the edge, USSOCOM aims to improve cognitive dominance—enabling warfighters to process information faster than their adversaries, to make more informed decisions, and to ultimately achieve mission objectives with greater precision.
“Our collaboration with USSOCOM will provide warfighters with more sophisticated and intelligent tools to improve their performance in increasingly complex and dynamic combat scenarios, thus reinforcing their competitive advantage on the battlefield,” commented Robert Kalebaugh, OSS VP of Sales. “SOF’s role within the U.S. Department of Defense continues to evolve across echelons, from man-worn to command center operations, and OSS is uniquely qualified to support the needs of U.S. Special Operation Forces.”
“Today’s announcement also reflects our multi-year strategy focused on expanding our offerings and establishing relationships across all branches of the U.S. Armed Forces. The USSOCOM CRADA represents an important pillar as we continue to forge a relationship with one of the most innovative commands within the Department of Defense. We believe the Armed Forces will accelerate the adaptation of these types of Enterprise Class architecture which OSS provides for AI/ML, sensor fusion and autonomy applications across maritime, land, air, and space domains,” concluded Mr. Kalebaugh.
