View

ARC develops AI-powered sensors embedded in firearm grips to turn weapons into networked data devices. The sensors timestamp use events (draw, aim, fire) and geolocate the weapon, with edge processing on-device and data sent to command-and-control systems for near real-time insights. This supports faster responses, improved inventory control, predictive maintenance, and training through after-action reviews, and data can be fused with other battlefield sources for joint operations. ARC differentiates itself by weapon-centric sensing and on-device AI that integrates with SBIR-funded DoD programs and JADC2 workflows.

Arc, Inc. And Booz Allen Hamilton Partner To Advance Battlefield Iot With 5G

WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Armaments Research Company, Inc. (ARC) and Booz Allen Hamilton (BAH) announced a partnership to demonstrate the performance of ARC’s weapons sensing data across BAH’s fifth-generation mobile technology (5G)-powered network. This project is part of BAH’s previously awarded Joint Base Lewis-McChord 5G-Enabled Extended Reality (XR) contract to maximize soldiers’ performance on and off the battlefield. The project allows BAH to prototype and optimize Internet-of-Things (IoT) and XR capabilities with tailored military applications, ultra-low latency and scale. ARC’s AI-powered tactical weapons sensor securely collects and processes key battlefield and soldier performance data to allow ground force commanders a more complete common operating picture to aid in decision making
