Brightline Interactive, Alongside Prime Contractor BCI Solutions and Sub Contractor Purdue University, Awarded a Seven Figure Direct-to-Phase II Contract with The U.S. Air Force (AFWERX)
Brightline to Provide its Spatial Computing Platform Combined with AI and Machine Learning to Train Industrial Robots to Perform Human-like Tasks in an Operational Environment
NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / June 26, 2023 / Brightline Interactive ("BLI"), a wholly owned subsidiary of The Glimpse Group, Inc. ("Glimpse") (NASDAQ:VRAR)(FSE:9DR), and a leader in spatial computing, deep tech and 5G integration, announced that it is part of a team that was awarded a Direct-to-Phase II contract through AFWERX (www.afwerx.af.mil) - a technology directorate of the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) and the innovation arm of the Department of the Air Force. BLI will work alongside prime contractor BCI Solutions and fellow subcontractor, Purdue University, with a total initial award value in the low seven figures.
Brightline's spatial computing platform is backed by NVIDIA AI, OpenUSD, and cloud GPU-acceleration to deliver no-code Virtual Reality ("VR"), Augmented Reality ("AR"), and Mixed Reality ("MR") end user interfaces that directly address enterprise and U.S. Department of Defense ("DoD") use cases in training, maintenance, and operations.
Tyler Gates, General Manager of BLI and Chief Futurist of Glimpse commented: "This project will enable the DoD and its industrial supply base to automate a wide range of high variety, low volume manufacturing and maintenance activities. The overall solution utilizes BLI's spatial computing platform to teach and operate robots using human tracking and immersive simulation environments in the industrial setting.
As an initial application example, we will address the pressing need to automate the difficult and important skill of applying aircraft grade sealant to aircraft during the maintenance process. This award is meant to prove a mission-critical capability and move towards productization of the innovative technology advancements supplied by the team."
Lyron Bentovim, President and CEO of Glimpse said: "This award, the second significant DoD engagement announced in recent months, further affirms BLI's advanced spatial computing, immersive technology and AI capabilities. In addition, it demonstrates a critical ability to effectively implement at the highest enterprise levels and in partnership with industry leading companies."
