AFWERX is intended to enable greater participation of new entrepreneurs in USAF programmes.

Enview’s platform can automatically identify features, detect potential threats, and generate insights to improve mission effectiveness.

The platform uses deep learning, heuristic algorithms, and classical machine learning.

The company partnered with USAF end-users for a Squadron-level capability.

The capability can deliver geospatial AI and remote sensing in a tactical operations centre or austere locations.

Enview is specialised in geospatial big data, remote sensing, and computer vision to help customers predict future threats.

In November last year, the firm was awarded the second place in the Air Force Research Laboratory Space Vehicles Directorate’s Hyperspace Challenge, a pitch and demo contest.
