ZE Government Solutions (ZEGS) has been selected by AFWERX for a SBIR Phase II contract focused on coastal security and awareness to address the most pressing challenges in the Department of the Air Force (DAF).

The ZE Coastal Alert System (Z-CAS) solution will be digital, portable, and self-sustaining, designed to protect valuable USAF assets on Joint Base Charleston to include the $7.5 billion in base property and capital assets spread across three seaports, two civilian- military airfields, 39 miles of rail, and 22 miles of coastline.

Deploying the ZeroEyes solution with lightweight, portable platforms equipped with state-of-the-art detection radars, artificial intelligence for threat identification, and an aggregation platform for critical C2 operations will leave forces stronger and equipped for future challenges.

“The ZE Coastal Alert System will proactively identify, track, and respond to imminent threats in real-time, providing warning and actionable intelligence where traditional coastal security may face challenges,” said Mike Lahiff, CEO and co-founder of ZeroEyes, parent company of ZEGS.

“We are thrilled to receive this SBIR Phase II award, and remain committed to excellence in national security innovation.”
