    –
    CORAS, the only IL5-authorized decision intelligence platform used across the Department of War (DoW, formerly the DoD), announced today that Venice M. Goodwine has joined its Board of Advisors. Mrs. Goodwine most recently served as Chief Information Officer for the Department of the Air Force (USAF) and Space Force (SF), where she led Enterprise IT, Data & Artificial Intelligence, and Cybersecurity directorates – overseeing a $17B portfolio enabling missions of approximately 20,000 cyber operations and support personnel. Mrs. Goodwine’s experience moving USAF forward with leading technology makes her an ideal advisor for CORAS as it expands leading edge Agentic AI solutions and contracts within the DoW.

    “As the former Chief Information Officer of the Department of the Air Force, I understand the vital role that timely, trusted, secure and actionable information plays in safeguarding our nation,” Mrs. Goodwine said. “CORAS is at the forefront of delivering decision intelligence solutions that turn complex data into strategic advantage – accelerating mission outcomes, strengthening readiness, and enhancing investment decisions across the national security enterprise. I am honored to join the CORAS Board of Advisors and look forward to contributing to its mission of equipping our warfighters with the tools they need to make faster, smarter, and more secure decisions.”

    A recognized technology and cybersecurity leader, Mrs. Goodwine previously served as the Director of Enterprise IT in the Air Force CIO office and as Chief Information Security Officer at the U.S. Department of Agriculture, where she managed roughly $208M in annual cybersecurity expenditures. She announced her retirement from federal service earlier this year after more than three decades in government.

    “It is an honor to have Venice Goodwine as part of our broader agentic decision intelligence visionaries to help CORAS expand our collaboration with customers, data optimization, and mission vigilance,” said Moe Jafari, CEO of CORAS.

    Dan Naselius, President and CTO of CORAS, said, “Venice’s track record integrating cyber, data, and enterprise IT at global scale aligns directly with CORAS’s mission to deliver secure, real-time AI decision intelligence advantage. Her insights and real-world experience will help CORAS deliver ROI and 10-50x productivity today, expanding and accelerating readiness outcomes for the Warfighter.“

    CORAS and its Agentic Agent GARY operate at IL5 and FedRAMP High in government environments, including NIPR and SIPR, offering profound ROI and 50+x productivity. Agencies can acquire CORAS and GARY through GSA, NASA SEWP, SBIR Phase III, Tradewinds AI Marketplace, Carahsoft, and AWS partner channels. Learn more at www.coras.ai.

    Over 300 LiveSky Tethered UAS Sold To The U.S. Government With New Order For 43 Systems

    SANFORD, Fla., June 8, 2022 (Newswire.com)
    –
    Hoverfly Technologies Inc. announced today another order for 43 LiveSky systems for the US Army, now surpassing over 300 LiveSky tethered drones sold to the U.S. government. LiveSky is a turnkey tethered UAS platform with infinite flight time, offering on-demand persistent ISR capabilities and communications relay solutions. National defense, intelligence, and homeland security customers have all benefited from LiveSky solutions as a force multiplier in mission-critical situations.

    LiveSky Sentry and LiveSky Defender, often referred to as the Variable Height Antenna (VHA) for network range extension, have been deployed both domestically and internationally in all-weather environments. Hoverfly’s new LiveSky HL Spectre caught the eye of DoD and USG agencies in recent months due to its multi-payload capability. LiveSky HL Spectre can carry up to three payloads, offering both persistent ISR and broadband network communications relay solutions at the press of a button. 

    All LiveSky platforms are payload agnostic, allowing integration of a variety of third-party payloads. USG customers employ Silvus, Trellisware, Persistent Systems, and other tactical radios on LiveSky platforms for broadband network range extension, giving our troops unparalleled situational awareness on the battlefield. Equipping LiveSky with ISR payloads provides live full-motion video streams that can be viewed locally, by operators using Tactical Awareness Kit (TAK), and over networks anywhere in the world. LiveSky does not operate using any radio frequency (RF) signals, making it impossible for the data within the system to be jammed, hacked, or intercepted. Additional payloads are available for integration, to include 5G, C-UAS, and EW systems that are more effective at 200′.

    USG customers have identified the ability to seamlessly integrate into any network as a key differentiator for Hoverfly tethered drone solutions. LiveSky platforms have been an integral part of multiple ground vehicle programs, enhancing both manned and unmanned on-the-move capabilities. Hoverfly President and COO, Steve Walters, explains, “Various surveillance, radio, and network achieve maximum performance at elevation. Hoverfly LiveSky systems continue to prove that seeking the high ground can be achieved in seconds. Hoverfly’s culture is entrepreneurial and encourages innovation and disruption to the legacy methods of achieving payload elevation, and we are proud to provide capability to the U.S. government, first responders, and foreign partners. “

    More and more USG  procurement requirements are including tethered UAS, and Hoverfly remains the industry leader with hundreds of units deployed to USG customers. More information on the different LiveSky platforms can be found at hoverflytech.com
