About

Founded in 2017, Deepwave AI is a defense subsystem manufacturer based in Philadelphia, United States working in electronic warfare, c4isr, defense software & ai +1 more.

Deepwave, also referred to as Deepwave Digital, develops RF AI edge hardware and software that turns raw radio frequency signal data into real-time intelligence. Founded in 2017, its core products are the AIR-T software-defined radio, which integrates CPU, GPU and FPGA processing with a patented zero-copy memory architecture, and the AirStack software suite (Core, Edge and BitStream) for operating the platform, developing applications and remotely managing edge sensor fleets. The company's technology is used for electronic warfare and cognitive sensing. Its CADS-based AI edge platform has been delivered in Low-Rate Initial Production units for the Containerized Algorithm Deployment System and deployed on the U.S. Air National Guard F-16 fleet, in partnership with Raytheon. Deepwave also serves defence, infrastructure and telecommunications markets, offering spectrum monitoring, signal classification and edge analytics. It partners with DeepSig for RF machine learning and with DataRobot and NVIDIA for secure AI stacks for federal and high-security users.
