CELERIS AWARDED PRIME SBIR CONTRACT to Revolutionize DoD Predictive Maintenance
ANAHEIM, CA., December 11, 2024 - Celeris Systems Inc., a leader in advanced predictive analytics and resource management solutions, has been awarded a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) award to advance its HAWK (Holistic Asset Wellness & Knowledge) Predictive Analytics Module. This breakthrough system will enhance the Department of Defense's (DoD) capability to ensure mission readiness and reduce operational risks by addressing longstanding inefficiencies in test resource management.
The SBIR award supports the integration of HAWK into Celeris’ existing iRIS platform, which is widely used across DoD programs, including the U.S. Space Force. By leveraging patented AI/ML algorithms, IoT-enabled sensors, and real-time data analysis, HAWK delivers predictive insights that allow program managers to identify and mitigate potential maintenance issues before they disrupt mission-critical operations.
"HAWK is a game-changer for the DoD, especially at a time when operational readiness is paramount," said Angel Martinez, CEO of Celeris Systems Inc. "This SBIR award validates our vision to provide cutting-edge solutions that align with the GAO’s recommendations to implement predictive maintenance strategies and improve asset availability."
HAWK's capabilities include anomaly detection, failure pattern tracking, and optimized maintenance scheduling, which reduce unplanned downtime by up to 20% and lower maintenance costs by 15%. The system’s integration with the DoD-approved iRIS platform ensures rapid deployment and scalability across multiple programs, supporting assets worth over $3 billion.
This effort highlights Celeris’ commitment to enhancing national defense capabilities while offering dual-use applications for the commercial sector. The award will accelerate the rollout of HAWK, ensuring the DoD is equipped to maintain a strategic edge in an era of evolving threats.
