NIRA to advance process automation and workflow modernization for Federal Maritime Commission

NIRA has been awarded a new contract with the Federal Maritime Commission to advance process automation and workflow modernization in support of the U.S. maritime supply chain. Under this effort, we'll partner with FMC to move high-volume, manual compliance activities — such as carrier registrations and service contract filings — onto a modern, automated platform. By applying secure, AI-enabled workflow automation, we aim to: reduce administrative burden on staff and industry, improve data quality, transparency, and auditability, and enable FMC to focus on oversight of ocean shipping and trade. This award reflects the strength of our team and NIRA's track record helping federal agencies modernize mission-critical systems while maintaining security, integrity, and trust.

NIRA Awarded SBIR Contract to Develop Resilient Edge-enabled Data Exchange (REDI)

NIRA has been awarded an SBIR contract from Naval Information Warfare Systems Command (NAVWAR) to develop advanced data integrity and control methods. Our solution, Resilient Edge-enabled Data Exchange (REDI, pronounced "Red Eye"), builds upon NIRA's LEDGENDD™ technology to enable resilient, policy-aware data exchange, even in Disrupted, Disconnected, Intermittent, and Low-bandwidth (DDIL) environments, where traditional security measures fall short. Beyond the battlefield, REDI has the potential to transform secure communications in Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS), UAS Traffic Management (UTM), and disaster response, where network connectivity is unpredictable. This research reinforces NIRA's leadership in Zero Trust security and data-centric information sharing — pushing the boundaries of innovation to ensure trusted data exchange in the most challenging environments.
