The U.S. Army xTech Program, sponsored by the Assistant Secretary of Army for Acquisition, Logistics, and Technology (ASA(ALT)), invited ANDRO to join this year’s Association of the United States Army (AUSA) Annual Meeting & Exposition in Washington, D.C., from October 11-13, 2021.
The 2021 AUSA Annual Meeting & Exposition serves as the largest land power exposition and development forum in North America and delivers the Army’s message by highlighting the capabilities of organizations and presenting a range of industry products and services.
ANDRO Principal Investigator, Dr. Ashwin Amanna, and his team leveraged pioneering work in software-based tactical waveform implementations under the Waveform Agile System Palette (WASP) project supporting the Air Force Research Laboratory Information Directorate. ANDRO’s submission to the xTech Challenge was awarded $10,000 in prize money and selected along with 10 other companies to move forward to virtual technology pitches to senior Army Science and Technology leaders. The approach, in partnership with Collins Aerospace, developed a reference demonstration of General-Purpose Processor (GPP) based waveforms operating on heterogeneous SDR platforms with a standardized interface between the waveform and SDR. The ANDRO team was then selected as one of five finalists to receive $50,000 in prize money and was selected for a rare Direct-to-Phase II $1.7M SBIR contract award. ANDRO is proud to present its Waveform Agile System Palette (WASP) as part of the U.S. Army xTech Program Innovator’s Corner.
