Palladyne AI completes Phase I of Air Logistics Complex contract

Palladyne AI announced that it has completed Phase I of its previously announced multi-million-dollar contract with the Air Logistics Complex at Warner Robins Air Force Base in Georgia. Phase II will continue integration and use case validation of Palladyne IQ software for use in remediation activities including media blasting for complex aircraft components. This is the second year of a contemplated four-year effort valued at $13.8M, the result of Palladyne AI’s selection in the highly competitive Strategic Funding Increase program emerging from the Air Force’s innovation incubator, AFWERX AFVentures. In Phase II of the contract, Palladyne IQ software will be used in preparation of complex, high-value aircraft components of varying types and sizes via detection, identification, and surface mapping to maintain the correct distance and angle for optimal application of surface preparation materials.
