FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Alexandria, Virginia, October 16, 2018 - Analytic Strategies, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Culmen International, is pleased to announce that they have been awarded a prime contract with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), Geospatial Cloud Analytics task area 2 for Analytical Applications and Competition. Under this 18 month effort, we will develop algorithms to detect and anticipate international protest activities. Applications could include monitoring levels of protests around the world, as well as being prepared for violent or disruptive protests while further protecting US national security and business interests.
Analytic Strategies will be leveraging new and alternative forms of commercial data, as well as traditional geospatial sources. “There has been a growing interest from commercial and government organizations regarding these analytical applications. We are excited to work with DARPA and the other performers on the Geospatial Cloud Analytics program to see if we can further innovation,” said Mark Dumas, Culmen’s Chief Strategy Officer and the Principal Investigator for this program.
