Airship AI Holdings, Inc. has been awarded a multi-million dollar contract to an agency within the Department of Justice ("DOJ") for its Outpost AIiance providing edge based recording, analytics, encryption, and encoding of video, audio, and metadata supporting emerging public safety and investigative requirements. This is the second award from within the Department of Justice following a previously-announced contract for Airship AI's Acropolis Enterprise Sensor Management video and data management platform. Outpost AI provides advanced analytic processing at the edge, along with highly efficient video and metadata encoding and encryption over various RF and network backhauls back to the cloud.

Edge analytics include the advanced detection and recognition of various object classes including vehicles, maritime vessels, aircraft, people, weapons, bags, and other object classes specific to operational requirements. Once an object in a larger object class is detected, Outpost AI's rule-based engine enables users to define in advance additional analytic processing for the object. This additional structuring includes specific types of an object class, for example a car, truck, or motorcycle versus a vehicle, and other identifying characteristics of the object such as the make, model, color, and license plate data for the vehicle type.

All data is then encrypted and streamed back to Acropolis for further management as well as real-time notifications.
