RGi awarded SOCOM SBIR Phase I project

RGi was awarded a Special Operations Command (SOCOM) Small Business Innovation and Research (SBIR) Phase I project in response to Topic 163-005: Cloud Data Synchronization with Limited Bandwidth Communications. Throughout this effort, RGi will explore the feasibility of applying the underlying concepts of its SmartContent approach in austere situations, where disconnected, limited, or intermittent (DIL) communications constrain the networked environment, imposing significant barriers to rapid transmission of valuable data and knowledge from managed cloud resources. RGi will research an intelligent, automated solution that can integrate with existing applications to provide the basis for asserting the operational relevance of data and content, determine where it should be prepositioned, provisioned, and cached for maximum availability to those who need it, and enable new knowledge collected in the field or through reach-back analytics to be efficiently and opportunistically synchronized with distributed network resources.

RGi to participate in MIDAS project funded by the Office of Naval Research

RGi will participate in the Medical Informatics Decision Assistance and Support (MIDAS) project, a SBIR Phase II contract funded by the Office of Naval Research (ONR) that will provide tools to generate recommendations for reducing the risk of musculoskeletal injury obtained during physical training. MIDAS will incorporate sensor data (e.g., wearable fitness trackers) collected during training, contextual knowledge (e.g., training plans, user biometrics, unit constraints), and machine learning to evaluate a trainee’s current state, assert a risk of injury score, and recommend mitigations that the individual and/or trainers can use to reduce the likelihood of injury. Throughout this project, RGi will provide support through use case development, technical implementation recommendations, and outreach to physical trainers and other stakeholders. This work will be performed under contract N68335-17-C-0044.
