ANDRO is Currently First Place in the 2023 GRCon Capture the Flag Challenge Series

ANDRO Computational Solutions, LLC is a proud silver sponsor of the GRCon 2023 Conference currently being held in Tempe, AZ and has been in first place for the ongoing Capture the Flag Challenge Series. Out of 52 teams, the ANDRO team is holding steady at first place with over 2,000 flags capture!

The purpose of the competition is to have fun, learn about digital signal processing, and improve your GNU Radio skills. It is a series of analysis challenges where the goal is to find a hidden message in the format of flag{flag_name}.  There is typically a file of captured samples that has to be analyzed.  The signal could be a digital representation of an image and once decoded back to an image the flag would be in the picture.

ANDRO Participates in TAK Offsite 2023

On August 28-30, ANDRO Computational Solutions participated in the 2023 Tactical Assault Kit / Team Awareness Kit (TAK) Offsite 2023 meeting sponsored by the TAK Configuration Steering Board (CSB).  ANDRO was part of an elite set of teams demonstrating the latest in TAK technologies during an outstanding 3-day event held in Raleigh, NC.  The event gave ANDRO an opportunity to present and demonstrate its PRISMTAK edge-based solution for situations when the TAK server is unavailable.  The ANDRO team of Timothy Woods and Chris Maracchion thanks the TAK CSB for hosting us and bringing together such a diverse community to learn, share, and evolve TAK!  Our team met with many experts and stakeholders all dedicated to supporting TAK and assuring its operational success.  We are honored to be included in the ecosystem and for the opportunity to contribute to advancing the TAK state-of-the-art.  If you missed ANDRO at the event, contact twoods@androcs.com for additional information.

Dr. Andy Drozd Inducted in CSA’s Hall of Fame

Dr. Andy Drozd, President, CEO and Chief Scientist of ANDRO Computational Solutions, LLC, has been nominated to join the Catholic School’s Association of Rome’s Hall of Fame. Read the full story below or at the Daily Sentinel here

ROME — Catholic education has been a vital part of the fabric of the Rome community for more than 150 years, according to members of the Catholic Schools Association of Rome.

Over those years, the city has been home to many Catholic schools, including: St. Aloysius Academy; the Academy of Holy Names; Transfiguration School; St. Mary’s School; St. Peter’s School; Rome Catholic High School and Rome Catholic Junior High School. Currently, local residents in the community are served by Rome Catholic School, which provides faith-based education for students in pre-K through sixth-grade.

Faith-based education, local CSA members say, provides individuals and communities with strength, character and the tools necessary for success. The group is reaching back to honor some of notable figures in the city’s Catholic education with an event that will also help raise funds to ensure the tradition continues in the coming years.

On Friday, Oct. 20, at 6 p.m. the Catholic Schools Association of Rome will host its sixth annual Hall of Fame induction at the Beeches Manor, 7900 Turin Road, recognizing “individuals who have been influential and/or have been influenced by Catholic education in our community,” event organizers said.

This year’s honorees are:

  • Barbara Chubbuck;
  • Sister Rosaire Ann DeMare;
  • Andrew L. Drozd;
  • Mark D. Vacca; and
  • Rev. Robert C. Weber.

Tickers for the event are available in advance, for $40, at the following locations: Edible Arrangements, 815 Black River Blvd.; Jervis Public Library, 613 N. Washington St.; the Rome Area Chamber of Commerce, 139 W. Dominick St.; or by contacting Marg Maurer at 315-337-9453, for additional information.

Funds raised from the event will remain in Rome to enhance and enrich programming at Rome Catholic School, organizers said, adding RCS will greet students next week as it launches its 2023-24 school year for students on Thursday, Sept. 7.

ANDRO Exhibits at Project Fibonacci’s Fuel Your Future Fair

ANDRO Computational Solutions, LLC was among the exhibitors who participated in the 2023 Project Fibonacci STEAM Leadership Conference’s ‘Fuel Your Future Fair’.
