The United States Air Force awards contract to a local Austin small business to secure IoT data coming from critical infrastructure.
AUSTIN, Texas, Nov. 15, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Vitro Technology Corporation, an Austin-based deep tech startup, has won a Phase I SBIR contract with the US Air Force, securing critical infrastructure with a keen focus on the Base of the Future initiative.
"The ideas and solutions found here reach far beyond Tyndall (AFB)," PMO Integration Division Chief Lowell Usrey said. "Yes, the goal is to select the best solutions and implement these cutting-edge technologies and innovations at the base, but we have an unprecedented opportunity to use Tyndall (AFB) as a template for Air Force bases that are secure, resilient, and digitally integrated."
Vitro is leveraging innovative technology for operational effectiveness and installation resilience. The mission impact of this project is a reduction in unplanned downtime for operational technology and a more resilient power infrastructure.
