Xtract.ai will advance AI for the CAF by designing, developing and deploying data sets, machine learning models, and visualisation software that will be used to increase situational awareness.

Patriot One Technologies CEO Martin Cronin said: “We’re very excited to leverage the Xtract.ai team’s expertise in video analytics, object detection and artificial intelligence with the Canadian Department of National Defence.

“With the work Xtract.ai has been doing with several clients, as well as on Patriot One’s PATSCAN Multi-Sensor Covert Threat Detection Platform, the team brings tremendous experience in video analytics and threat object detection and look forward to delivering a high-performing solution that we hope will augment our military personnel in their service to our country.”

The latest project will continue work completed by Xtract.ai earlier for the armed forces to develop technology solutions to augment their soldiers’ situational awareness.
