The U.S. Air Force relies on precise, real-time communication across aircraft, ground, and command networks. Echo C2 AI transforms live voice and data streams into actionable intelligence, improving coordination, awareness, and decision-making in mission-critical environments.
Projects & Deployments
Air Combat Command - Real-Time Communications Fusion
Pilot / Concept Evaluation (Phase III Support) — Conducted under the existing SBIR Phase III contract as an exploratory AI enhancement effort. Further expansion pending FY26 modernization priorities.
Echo C2 AI was evaluated under Air Combat Command to enhance live flight and ground control communications using AI transcription and event tagging. The system processed multiple comms channels simultaneously, flagging anomalies and identifying coordination gaps during flight test and operational exercises.
Edwards Air Force Base - Flight Test Range Integration
Funded / Active Evaluation (Phase III Operational Test) — Supported under SBIR Phase III funding as part of ongoing range modernization efforts at Edwards. Actively used in select test missions since mid-2025.
At Edwards AFB, Echo C2 AI was integrated into the flight test environment to link voice communications, telemetry data, and range control systems. The goal was to provide test teams with immediate cross-referenced insights between controller callouts and telemetry anomalies.
Eglin Air Force Base - AI-Assisted Command Network Monitoring
Operational Deployment (Phase III Funded) — Fully funded under the $12.5M SBIR Phase III IDIQ award. In ongoing operational use supporting range command and test operations.
Echo C2 AI supports Eglin AFB’s test range and mission command centers by monitoring live networked voice traffic and providing AI-assisted tagging and analysis. The system improves communication clarity across concurrent test events and ensures mission control teams maintain real-time awareness during high-volume coordination windows.
Exercises & Evaluations
USAF Exercise Participation
Echo C2 AI is actively evaluated during live test missions at Edwards and Eglin AFB.
These evaluations measure AI tagging accuracy, latency, and mission context correlation under operational loads.
The system contributes directly to Air Force Digital Range and ABMS modernization initiatives.
Plans are underway for expanded evaluations under ABMS field events and Digital Air Range test campaigns.
