OSS Enters into a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement with the U.S. Special Operations Command

Partnership to enhance cognitive dominance in support of Hyper Enabled Force mission objectives through development efforts of rugged edge AI/ML compute solutions

Agreement aligns with OSS’ strategy to expand offerings and establish embedded relationships across the U.S. Department of Defense

ESCONDIDO, Calif., Sept. 12, 2024 (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. The goal of this partnership is to create advanced, durable high performance computer solutions that can process vast amounts of data quickly and efficiently in the field.

The collaboration agreement between OSS and U.S. Special Operations Forces (SOF) is focused on advancing the development of cutting-edge AI and ML computing solutions designed specifically for rugged, edge environments—places where traditional computing systems may not be suitable due to extreme conditions such as harsh climates or remote locations. Solutions under development will support a strategic initiative of U.S. Special Operation Forces known as the Hyper-Enabled Force (HEF), which seeks to enhance the situational awareness, decision-making, and operational capabilities of SOF. By leveraging AI and ML at the edge, SOF aims to improve cognitive dominance—enabling troops to process information faster than their adversaries, to make more informed decisions, and to ultimately achieve mission objectives with greater precision.

“We expect that our collaboration with SOF will help 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 expand, and we are proud to support 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 SOF CRADA represents an important pillar within our $1+ billion sales pipeline, as we believe the U.S. Department of Defense will accelerate the adaptation of the types of enterprise class architecture OSS provides for AI/ML, sensor fusion and autonomy applications.  We look forward to our collaboration with the U.S. Special Forces and providing valuable input into a key Defense initiative seeking to create a significant advantage for the warfighter,” concluded Mr. Kalebaugh.
