Summary

Ditto has been awarded a Strategic Funding Increase (STRATFI) opportunity by AFWERX, the innovation arm of the Department of the Air Force, with funding up to $28 million, enhancing its role in maintaining U.S. information dominance, particularly in the Indo-Pacific region. Ditto's Edge Sync Platform offers a shift from traditional hub-and-spoke connectivity to robust mesh networks that ensure resilient communications and seamless data sharing, vital for U.S. military operations. By collaborating with the Air Force's BESPIN software factory on the Mobile Operational Support Suite initiative, Ditto integrates into critical systems like the Pluto aircraft maintenance application and Android Tactical Assault Kit, empowering Air Force personnel with rapid-response network capabilities. This partnership aligns with the Department of the Air Force's goal of "decision superiority at the tactical edge," supporting multi-transport, resilient data movement in challenging environments. The collaboration marks a significant advance in scalable, interoperable decision-making from the tactical edge to the cloud, bolstering U.S. military readiness and operational superiority.
