Tampa-based Certus Core Awarded $1.25M Contract to deliver its Semantic Knowledge Graph Software to Air Force

Certus Core

Veteran-founded startup aims to address data structure and generative AI challenges across national security with their best in class software solution

TAMPA, FL, UNITED STATES, September 4, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ — Certus Core, Inc announces it has been selected by AFWERX for a Small Business Innovation Research Phase II contract in the amount of approximately $1.25M focused on delivering its Semantic Knowledge Graph data engineering software solution to address the most pressing data challenges in the Department of the Air Force (DAF). The Air Force Research Laboratory and AFWERX have partnered to streamline the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) process by accelerating the small business experience through faster proposal to award timelines, changing the pool of potential applicants by expanding opportunities to small business and eliminating bureaucratic overhead by continually implementing process improvement changes in contract execution. The DAF began offering the Open Topic SBIR/STTR program in 2018 which expanded the range of innovations the DAF funded and now on August 16, 2024, Certus Core, Inc. will start its journey to create and provide innovative capabilities that will strengthen the national defense of the United States of America.

“We are incredibly excited for this effort and for the mission we’re able to support with our software deployment. Certus Core’s selection for this contract award is huge for Certus Core and our U.S. Air Force customer,” said Jake Dyal, Certus Core CEO. “We will be delivering massive capabilities through the value of sKG and data integration relevant to their Vendor Threat Mitigation problem, a major challenge across the national security space. We are grateful for the chance to solve these challenges with their analysts. A major win for our U.S. Air Force customer, is in their ability to ask prompt based questions within our data consumer platform while continuing to use the analytic tools the Air Force has already invested resources. This is a massive force multiplier for their team.”

“Every member of Certus has experienced data silos and the desire to implement machine learning and AI, in both the private and public sectors. But organizations delay solving their data problems and rely on visually appealing graphs, pie charts which usually tell leadership what they want to hear, not the truth behind their data,” commented Casey Johnson, VP of Business Development. “That is where Certus Core’s value really comes into play. We’ve all been there. We know the difficulties in solving these data engineering challenges and more importantly, solving data problems for the warfighter, bringing relevant data solutions which sustain the test of time, and preparing organizations for the long game. The Air Force’s commitment to data organization is readily apparent and we are excited to continue this work alongside them as their partner.”

“The views expressed are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of the Department of the Air Force, the Department of Defense, or the U.S. government.”
