Mobius Logic, Inc. wins million$ TACFI Award 

September 9, 2024

Mobius Logic, Inc. has been selected by AFWERX for a Tactical Fund Increase (TACFI) contract in the amount of $3.2 million dollars focused on developing AI and reinforcement learning tools catering to an asymmetric autonomous space fleet and augmenting the existing manned fleet to address the most pressing challenges in the Department of the Air Force (DAF).

The Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) and AFWERX have partnered to streamline the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) process by accelerating the small business experience through faster proposal to award timelines.

This process increases the pool of potential applicants by expanding opportunities to small business and eliminating bureaucratic overhead by continually implementing process improvement changes in contract execution.

The DAF began offering the Open Topic SBIR/STTR program in 2018 which expanded the range of innovations the DAF funded and now Mobius Logic will continue its journey to create and provide innovative capabilities that will strengthen the national defense of the United States of America. 

“Mobius Logic is excited to leverage generative AI models to empower USSF guardians working with autonomous multi-agents in on-orbit space missions,” said Jumana Misleh, Mobius Logic’s Director of Government Programs. “These innovations are crucial for conducting multi-agent unmanned on-orbit space servicing, inspection, and repair maneuvers. We’re honored to continue our collaboration with AFWERX to innovate and advance our capabilities in space activities, ensuring dominance in this critical domain.” 

About Mobius Logic, Inc.
Mobius Logic delivers AI ideas, innovation, and expertise that enable fast growing companies and government agencies to create profitable, compliant, cloud-based systems and products around data. Founded on the love of solving complex problems, Mobius Logic’s team provides the needed ideas, innovation, and expertise that go into building complex AI systems such as identifying patterns of behavior that impact pandemics, routing drones responsibly, eliminating loss in financial transactions and reducing violence in disadvantaged communities. Mobius Logic continually explores and expands its understanding of how data and AI can solve the most pressing problems and create the greatest opportunities in the finance, life sciences, litigation, software and manufacturing industries and the government. Our team members have PhDs in data science from major universities including MIT, UC Berkeley, University of Illinois – Urbana Champaign, University of Maryland, and Purdue, are well-published in their domains, and have several years of experience building large-scale, mission-critical software and AI solutions. 

About AFRL  
The Air Force Research Laboratory is the primary scientific research and development center for the Department of the Air Force. AFRL plays an integral role in leading the discovery, development, and integration of affordable warfighting technologies for our air, space and cyberspace force. With a workforce of more than 12,500 across nine technology areas and 40 other operations across the globe, AFRL provides a diverse portfolio of science and technology ranging from fundamental to advanced research and technology development.

About AFWERX 
As the innovation arm of the DAF and a directorate within the Air Force Research Laboratory, AFWERX brings cutting-edge American ingenuity from small businesses and start-ups to address the most pressing challenges of the DAF. AFWERX employs approximately 370 military, civilian and contractor personnel at five hubs and sites executing an annual $1.4 billion budget. Since 2019, AFWERX has executed over 6,200 new contracts worth more than $4.7 billion to strengthen the U.S. defense industrial base and drive faster technology transition to operational capability.
