Syracuse Sun

Syracuse University, together with ANDRO Computational Solutions, LLC, has been awarded a Phase II Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) research contract by the Office of Naval Research. The project is valued at approximately $2 million and focuses on integrating artificial intelligence deep learning technologies to improve radio spectrum utilization in challenging conditions.

The project is led by Anu Jagannath, ANDRO's chief scientist and chief research officer, and Jithin Jagannath, ANDRO's chief scientist and chief technology officer. They are supported by Senior Scientist Sabarish Krishna Moorthy from ANDRO and Syracuse University professors Biao Chen and Pramod Varshney from the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. Their expertise will contribute to advanced signal processing and distributed systems modeling for the project.

The collaboration between ANDRO and Syracuse University highlights the effectiveness of academic-industry partnerships in addressing complex challenges. This partnership has lasted over 30 years, receiving support from the Center for Advanced Systems and Engineering, a NYSTAR-designated Center for Advanced Technology. Under the STTR contract, the team aims to provide innovative solutions applicable to both military and commercial sectors. The venture seeks to advance intelligent spectrum technologies for various spectrum intelligence use cases.
