Member Spotlight | 1 August 2022
In an effort to raise awareness to NAMC member capabilities within the consortium, NAMC launched the member spotlight last year, showcasing an organization from the capability areas identified via the GVS OTA.
Moving forward, we will do a standalone company spotlight twice a month. With over 500+ members, we encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity and submit your company's information via the link below. There are a lot of exciting projects this fiscal year, and the spotlights help raise awareness to your company capabilities.

Skyward Ltd.
POC: Jason Woodall| | jwoodall@skywardltd.com | Website | LinkedIn
Technology Objective Area: Modeling & Simulation
HQ: Dayton, OH
Organization Type: Nontraditional
Capabilities: Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, AI/ML, Edge Computing, Imagery
Q: What do you want other NAMC Members to know about you?
A: Large amounts of data are difficult for a human to process. Skyward's ADONIS uses onboard processing at the point of collection to identify and prioritize data using machine learning to allow operators to focus on the most important information first.
ADONIS (Actionable Data ONboard Identification System) is a system of hardware and software capable of processing imagery and other information in real-time at the edge. It has been used to inspect runways for debris and UXO after an attack and to monitor airspace for anomalous behavior of aircraft.
Q: What is something unique about your product or service
A: Our ADONIS system includes not only software algorithms, but small edge computing devices. This enables operation in service denied areas in real-time. Our ADONIS anomaly detectors can be adapted to various platforms for use including UAS, aircraft, ships, ground vehicles, or even hand carried.
Q: What capability gaps are you able to fill and which industry colleagues would you like to know about them?
A: Skyward's ADONIS algorithms can be modified and adapted for a variety of uses. Our specialty is in imagery (EO, IR, LiDAR, RADAR, etc.) and includes other data that can be turned into imagery such as ADS-B (the signals used by aircraft to communicate telemetry data). Our algorithms have been developed to consider anomalous objects as well as anomalous behavior within the data.
We are actively looking for more applications to apply the technology to and would welcome conversations about potential use cases.
