NIST FRST Challenge Awardee :

October 25, 2022 – BANC3 is proud to have been selected as a NIST Public Safety Communications Research (PSCR) FRST Challenge Awardee. BANC3’s winning solution combines ultra-wideband (UWB) RF tracking with IMU-based sensing and AI-driven sensor fusion to deliver accurate, real-time 3D indoor positioning in GPS-denied environments. The solution is designed to be cost-efficient, rapidly deployable, and suitable for operational field use.

BANC3’s submission included a complete system architecture, benchmark performance data derived from multi-sensor inputs, and a live system demonstration evaluated by the judging panel. This award validates BANC3’s technical approach and readiness for operational field-testing and deployment. You can view BANC3's FRST Challenge Community Video here

Digital RF Receiver System Deployed to Satellite launch locations at Vandenberg Airforce, California and Cape Canaveral, Florida:

BANC3's wide-bandwidth Digital RF Receiver System Design developed for DoD Space customers which has been deployed to customer locations. This milestone is a significant validation of BANC3's successful and innovative design. The production version will provide extensive insight into the critical nature of high probability of intercept and high accuracy RF signal characterization in real-time during mission critical operations. Our digital receiver systems will be implemented using high-speed analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), 100 Gb/s fiber optic interfaces, Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), embedded processing, and client/server software applications. 

Simulated Training Environment-Live Training System (STE LTS)

BANC3 provides design engineering, field service and technical support needed for a M3 MAAWS Augmented Reality (AR) scope display leveraging their X2 MR Glass hardware architecture as part of a team supporting STE Live efforts for Direct Fire (DF).
