What can four years at DARPA make possible? For Thomas Kenny, Ph.D., those four years helped turn an early-stage idea into technology now used in aircraft, telecommunications, and defense systems.

In critical care, the margin between survival and tragedy is often measured in minutes.

The DARPA Triage Challenge (DTC) Data Competition evaluates next-gen predictive algorithms designed to anticipate patient needs before they become critical.

We’re rapidly developing and testing new capabilities to secure global maritime shipping corridors at scale. Our most recent test of Pulling Guard technology is step one before we head into future open-water trials.
We have successfully completed a sheltered-water autonomous towing demonstration for @DARPA’s Pulling Guard program. In under six months, our team moved from selection for the program to designing, building, and testing a new vessel created for this effort.

During the ewed vessel autonomously executed every phase of the towing concept of operations, from station-keeping and connection through towing transit and a controlled disconnect. Every planned test objective was met, including proving that autonomous winch control could be fully integrated with Saronic’s existing autonomy stack and operate as a single coordinated system throughout the sequence.

Pulling Guard aims to develop flexible, semi-autonomous surface vessel systems that can escort and help protect unarmed logistics vessels at sea. Reliable autonomous towing and station-keeping are foundational to that concept, and proving these capabilities early reduces technical risk and generates real-world data that will inform the platform’s design and development as the program advances. We are proud to continue working with DARPA to move that concept closer to reality.

75% of pre-hospital combat casualty care is unrecorded, and often the only care provided is by trained warfighters. We are addressing this critical gap with the launch of the DARPA Documentation and Decision Support (D2) Sprint.
