Digital Acquisition Meets Urban Air Mobility

We’re excited to announce our award of three research contracts from the U.S. Air Force as part of Agility Prime, a non-traditional program to accelerate the commercial market for advanced air mobility vehicles.

The research addresses emerging technology needs and ecosystem-wide capabilities in three key areas: (i) enterprise optimization of urban air mobility satellite communications; (ii) lifecycle tradespace analysis of emerging urban air mobility battery technologies; and (iii) immersive 3D auditory perception in urban air mobility operating environments. Infinity Labs is teamed with The Ohio State University in all efforts.

The solutions being developed by the Infinity Labs team are geared toward “big picture” understanding of synergies amongst enabling technologies, vehicle platforms, and system-of-system implications of commercial and military operations. In addition to addressing specific research questions as part of Agility Prime, the Infinity Labs team will be creating a flexible and open analytical framework that effectively brings digital acquisition tools and methodologies to the urban air mobility market.

In addition to The Ohio State University, the Infinity Labs team also includes Ansys – the global leader in engineering simulation. Scott Granger, Director for USAF Programs at Ansys states, “Ansys is proud to collaborate with Infinity Labs on Agility Prime and push the boundaries of innovation. Digital engineering is a core tenant to Air Force strategy and building virtual twins of UAMs with Infinity Labs will help demonstrate the value of modeling & simulation.

Infinity Labs is grateful for the support from our research and industrial partners and the sponsorship from the Air Force Research Laboratory. We would also like to thank Dr. Will Roper, SAF/AQ, whose visionary leadership continues to inspire and enable innovators throughout the defense community.

Infinity Labs LLC Challenges the Status Quo

(see the Dayton Business Journal for the BizSpotlight article published on 7/16/2020)

New capabilities provider and entrepreneurial technology company Infinity Labs LLC plans to intensify and accelerate the innovation renaissance occurring in the Dayton region.

Amidst the many defense firms surrounding Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Infinity Labs aspires to stand out among the crowded landscape. Unique in the defense and aerospace ecosystem by promoting both radical innovation and entrepreneurship as founding principles, Infinity seeks to solve complex problems through invigorating and inspiring creators. According to Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Ken Edge, “While other companies may provide engineering solutions that address customer requests, our company designs, builds, and implements enduring capabilities to solve the problem beyond the problem that is, the issue customers have yet to identify or anticipate. Engineers are naturally problem solvers, so why limit their creativity and innovation to fit inside a proposal response when the alternative is often transformational.

Infinity Labs was founded in Dayton, OH by seven members: three U.S. military veterans (Air Force, Army, and Marine Corps) each with significant cyber, Department of Defense, and industry experience; a former Federal civilian from the Air Force Research Laboratory with multiple decades of experience in multidisciplinary technologies; and three distinguished experts in system-of-systems modeling, simulation, and analysis. Since beginning national operations, Infinity Labs has hit the ground running. “We knew there would be interest in our company and its capabilities, but to receive such a steady surge of attention, a constant stream of inquiries, and hundreds of job applicants since our launch has been really motivating” according to Chief Disruption Officer, Jason Klein.

With entrepreneurship and radical innovation at its core, Infinity invests in revolutionary ideas and technologies with disruptive potential. The company views technological advancements strategically, through the lens of National Defense Strategy, and recognizes that the creation of transformational capabilities requires the embrace of unorthodox approaches. At Infinity, employees are encouraged (and trained) to think holistically and to attack problems from all possible viewpoints. According to the innovation architect within the company, Dr. Nick Kuprowicz, “Innovation occurs at the interfaces. It is fundamentally driven by new connections between disciplines, organizations, and perspectives. The modern defense ecosystem has embraced this culture of integration, and at Infinity Labs we are taking it to the extreme. We don’t just think outside of the box. We destroy the box.

If you too are a status quo destroyer and would like to work with Infinity, please get in touch here.

New beginnings

Today, I am proud to announce the launch of Infinity Labs LLC. I couldn’t be more excited to embark on this journey to build something remarkable with the team we have put together. We are creating a company that will foster the entrepreneurial spirit in our employees to think outside of the box to develop creative solutions to hard problems. The future of warfare involves real-time decision making, utilizing massive amounts of information across multiple domains simultaneously. Infinity Labs is about harnessing the creative powers of our team members to imagine what is currently unimaginable so we can develop tangible solutions to protect our nation’s warfighters.

I am also proud that this company is launching in Dayton, Ohio. Innovation has always been a big part of the history of the region. Every time I visit Carillon Park, the Engineer’s Club, Huffman Prairie, the National Museum of the United States Air Force, or one of the many other historical sites in the area, I am always amazed at the sheer volume of inventions, research, and development that happened here. We believe Infinity Labs will one day be part of that local heritage and would be humbled to be listed among the innovators of the region. We think that there are endless possibilities not just with the impact Infinity Labs can have on the Dayton region, but also with the solutions we will build to help defend our nation.
