ICONIC INVENTIONS

ROME LABS CONTRIBUTED TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF SIRI®

Over a decade ago, the AFRL/RI initiated a project called "Cognitive Assistant that Learns and Organizes" (CALO). Apple® bought the company that licensed the technology that developed Siri®.

Siri® is a registered trademark of Apple Inc.

ICONIC INVENTIONS

THE FORMULA FOR THE FOUNDATION OF LATEX PAINT

In the 1950s, a weather-resistant paint was design to coat radar housings. This paint was adaptable for use in arctic or desert environments, and extended radar dome life for at least 3 years. This formula later became the foundation for latex paint.

ICONIC INVENTIONS

ROME ENGINEERS LAID THE GROUNDWORK FOR THE INTERNET

In the late 1960s, there was a concern of losing communication lines because of nuclear attack. Rome engineers helped build computer protocols, creating ARPANet and enabled continuous communication for the President after an attack. This work provided the groundwork for further development of the internet.

KEY FOCUS AREAS

COMMAND, CONTROL, COMMUNICATIONS, COMPUTERS & INTELLIGENCE

Advanced visualization, machine learning (ML), intelligent agents, and tools to manage joint and combined military operations.

UNCREWED AERIAL SYSTEMS

UAS stands for Uncrewed Aircraft (or Aerial) System. UAS encompasses not only the UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehical), but also the team on the ground controlling the flight, and the system that connects the two (GPS, ground control, transmissions systems, cameras, and software).

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

Harness the speed and scale of machines to exponentially increase human capacity for situational awareness and to command & control in an increasingly complex battlespace.

MACHINE LEARNING

Academia to DoD, a pipeline for accelerated Machine Learning R&D to Air Force applications. Reducing the time & cost of delivering ML algorithms.

CYBER

Deliver the science and technology that enables our freedom to operate in cyberspace while denying the adversary the same.

QUANTUM

Ultra-secure quantum communication and enable fundamentally new communication protocols using memory-based qubits and integrated-circuit-based interconnects.

HOW DOES THE GRIFFISS INSTITUTE HELP?

We enable open innovation between government agencies, academic institutions, and industry partners to advance our national security and economic competitiveness. By connecting diverse teams and technologies at our home in the Innovare Advancement Center within New York’s Mohawk Valley, we provide access to government personnel, resources, state-of-the-art technologies, and specialized equipment not available elsewhere.
