BRIC Deployed Concept.png

BRIC

Boundary Reconnaissance Information Center (BRIC) is a rapidly deployable, rugged, AI-integrated mission built into a rapidly deployable  ISO container. Engineered for austere, disconnected, or contested environments, BRIC delivers secure communications, autonomous sensor fusion, and edge compute capabilities essential for unmanned and tactical operations -  all within a modular architecture that meets classified data-handling standards. At TRL 4, BRIC has been validated in its core technical subsystems and interoperability, with field-ready prototyping as the next milestone. For the Army, BRIC offers a battlefield-ready foundation for autonomous overwatch, real-time decision-making, and resilient, mobile infrastructure.

Solution’s Impact

BRIC delivers unprecedented operational autonomy, combining tamper detection, quantum-resilient encryption, and dynamic multi-network communication in a mission-adaptable chassis. Compared to legacy systems, BRIC reduces deployment complexity and increases survivability, enabling uninterrupted ISR and mission command in degraded or denied environments.  BRIC's versatility allows it to serve as:

  • ISR Coordination Node: Orchestrates UAS/UGV missions in denied terrain.

  • Intelligence Fusion Center: Aggregates static and aerial sensor data for adaptive terrain shaping.

  • Cyber Terrain Hub: Projects cyber defense capabilities forward, into contested zones.

  • Continuity Module: Ensures persistent JADC2-aligned operations despite higher echelon disruption.

This multi-role capacity directly supports Army objectives for scalable, modular, autonomous overwatch systems capable of rapid deployment and autonomy in mission execution.
