HII and Vibrint say products gain awardable status on Tradewinds Marketplace

HII cited GRIMM and VIPER, while Vibrint cited Quantum Circuit Factory and Secure LiFi as accepted into the CDAO’s Tradewinds procurement marketplace for U.S. defense technology buyers.

Summary

HII and Vibrint separately said products from their portfolios received awardable status through the Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office’s Tradewinds Solutions Marketplace, which both companies described as a U.S. defense procurement platform for AI, machine learning, data, analytics and emerging technologies. HII said its GRIMM spectrum-dominance payload and VIPER electromagnetic modeling and synthetic RF data tool were designated awardable after competitive review, while Vibrint said the same designation was granted to its Quantum Circuit Factory and Secure LiFi offerings. HII said GRIMM supports real-time geolocation and direction-finding of adversary signals and emitters, and that VIPER helps generate high-resolution radio-frequency scenario data to train AI-based algorithms for Cognitive Electronic Warfare and counter-unmanned aerial system uses. Vibrint said Quantum Circuit Factory is intended to accelerate design, optimization and evaluation of quantum circuits, and that Secure LiFi uses light-based wireless communications rather than radio frequency transmissions for secure, resilient connectivity in sensitive environments. Both companies said the designation makes their offerings available to government customers through Tradewinds, where awardable solutions are assessed under competitive procedures and scoring rubrics. HII said the recognition validates operational relevance and could broaden spectrum awareness across manned and unmanned platforms, while Vibrint said the marketplace provides a faster route to connect technology with national security teams.
