Improve readiness and sustainment with AI + robotics
With high-quality material health data on our critical assets, we can improve strategic investment decisions and optimize maintenance processes, contributing directly to national security.
Cantilever is our dual-use operating system powered by AI and robotics (AIR) to accelerate decision making at every stage of asset life cycles.
We’re taking what we’ve learned in the commercial sector, and bringing the best parts to defense.
The U.S. industrial base has been shrinking for two decades. Foreign competitors are ahead of us in the industrial sectors critical to national security.
The U.S. must leverage our differentiated ability to innovate to catch up and meet our global security challenges. Injecting Factory 4.0 processes at scale is critical. Smart robotic automation, lean manufacturing, and digital baselines provide vital leverage.
At Gecko, when we say automation, we mean robots assisting humans, not robots replacing humans. Our industrial workforce is critical. We empower front line workers with Factory 4.0 methods and technologies so they can produce more, safer and with better quality, for our warfighters.
Less than 40% of surface ships get out of drydock on time. The current manual approach of collecting data by hand on key ship structures leaves asset conditions unknown and is detrimental to readiness rates and increases life cycle costs.
Cantilever is changing that dynamic for U.S. Navy and global allies:
Improved (faster, more detailed) inspections, building data layers: Robotic collection creates an improvement in inspections over current methods, allowing faster, better inspections to occur, facilitating better repair planning.
Automating workflows: Digitally encoding and localizing inspection data allows automation of routine but complex workflows, such as flight deck repair plan generation. A process that used to take weeks now takes seconds.
Speeding upgrades and next generation designs: Curation of these datasets within a Navy-designed ontology creates a repository of high fidelity, digitally encoded time series datasets of material health that allows the Navy to make intelligent improvements to current ships and to inform next generation platform design.
Predictive analytics: Reducing growth work by hundreds of days and remediation costs by more than 50%.
Gecko is supporting the U.S. Air Force’s transition to the Sentinel Program by providing the necessary data to modernize the design and management of these platforms.
Cantilever is creating full-coverage digital twins of over 400 intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) silos, providing detailed analysis of material health across 60 year old infrastructure.
Cantilever integrates robot-collected data layers with disparate data sources into one system. Unlock complete visibility to ensure safe, seamless, and sustainable operations.
