NASA Selects NIRA's CONTRAILS Concept for SBIR Phase I Award
The future National Airspace System (NAS) will be shaped less by individual systems and more by end-to-end data supply chains. We are proud that NASA shares this vision and has selected our CONTRAILS (Control Plane for Trusted Aviation Information Logistics and Supply Chain) concept for a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I award. This concept grew out of the intersection of two streams of NIRA's work — our supply-chain data sharing and Zero Trust technology, and our decade-plus support of the Federal Aviation Administration — and reflects our collaboration with Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, documented in our joint paper at ICNS Conference 2026. As the NAS looks to AI, assured data grounded in verifiable provenance, quality, and dependency evidence becomes the trustworthy foundation for AI agent development. The result is a logically centralized but operationally non-intrusive observability layer that enables fit-for-purpose decisions, resiliency analysis, and scalable automation.
NIRA Advances LEGACII with the Air Force District of Washington to Honor Airmen, Families, and Legacy
NIRA is building a trusted digital experience to honor Airmen, families, and legacy through our work with the Air Force District of Washington (AFDW). Our privacy-first knowledge graph — Legacy Enshrinement and Guardianship through AI for Controlled Information Integration (LEGACII) — applies zero-trust and privacy-preserving design to enable secure, user-controlled information sharing across systems, agencies, and lifetimes. This effort reflects NIRA's commitment to strengthening mission readiness through trust, privacy, and meaningful engagement.
