Base Year Plus Four Option Year Contract to Replace Existing Platform Supporting Domestic and Global Investigative Operations Marks the Inaugural Deployment of Acropolis Ecosystem at the Department of Defense Level

REDMOND, Wash., Aug. 20, 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 base year plus four option year contract by the Department of Defense (DoD) for the Company’s Acropolis Enterprise Sensor Management video and data management platform.

This brand name only selection by the agency marks the inaugural deployment of Airship AI’s Acropolis ecosystem at the DoD level. This platform is designed to enable the agency to collect, distribute, and manage digital evidence with unparalleled effectiveness and efficiency on a global scale. By integrating various disparate data sources into a unified, highly secure enterprise management system, Airship AI streamlines and enhances the overall process.

“This initiative is part of our broader collaboration with various DoD agencies, including the Departments of the Navy, Army, and Air Force, where we’ve been working to build out our platform to support their investigative and physical surveillance needs,” said Paul Allen, President of Airship AI. “Several of these projects are anticipated to advance from the pilot phase to full acquisition in the coming quarters, as we continue to tailor our base security and law enforcement investigative solutions to DoD specific workflow requirements.”

“For this effort, the customer undertook thorough market research and concluded that the Airship AI Acropolis software platform was uniquely capable of enabling secure and effective collaboration among DoD and other federal agencies in joint investigative operations. We’re excited to support the customer over the next five years and to work alongside them and their partnered federal law enforcement agencies continuing to expand the use of the Acropolis platform for video, audio, and metadata evidence collection and distribution.”

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.
