REPORT HIGHLIGHTS
In 2020, DIU helped deliver to the warfighter technologies spanning artificial intelligence, autonomy, cyber, human systems, and space:
• Adapted ongoing Rapid Analysis of Threat Exposure (RATE) project to include pre-symptomatic, early warning of COVID-19 infection to cue earlier testing, isolation, and treatment to improve force readiness;
• Deployed winning computer vision algorithms from the xView2 prize competition to assist first responders in conducting post-disaster damage assessment and coordination of humanitarian assistance during the Australia bushfires, California wildfires, and coastal hurricanes;
• Released five new secure, trusted, small unmanned aerial systems (sUAS) for interagency procurement on the GSA schedule as part of our Blue sUAS initiative. These sUAS are the first DIU-facilitated product made available not only across DoD but also across the U.S. government;
• Scaled the Predictive Maintenance solution to additional Air Force and Army partners and aircraft, including the HH-60 Pave Hawk;
• Transitioned the Air Threat Response solution to DoD partners at the North American Aerospace Defense Command and United States Northern Command in record time of 364 days from prototype award to production contract;
• Launched a sixth technology portfolio, Advanced Energy and Materials, which will focus on leveraging proven advancements in energy and materials technology to enhance U.S. military capabilities and strengthen resilience across installations and distributed operations.
