THE INDUSTRIES WE WORK IN

WE LOVE A CHALLENGE

Aeris is expanding into new sectors, applying its national security-based experience, expertise, and technologies to industries such as aviation, renewable energy, air quality, and wildfires. We are working with customers who share our goal of continuing to foster a safer, more secure world. At Aeris we believe that creativity and innovation come from a passion for taking on new challenges and solving demanding technical and scientific problems that truly matter.

DEFENSE

Ensuring a resilient and secure America.

Chemical, Biological, Radiological or Nuclear (CBRN) material can pose a significant threat to military and civilian personnel alike. In the case of a material release, it is vital to estimate the source characteristics, as well as the subsequent transport and dispersion of the contaminant. Once the distribution of the material has been characterized, understanding the health effects amongst the affected population and the medical countermeasures available are critical to ensuring preparedness. Defense forces, along with federal, state, and local officials, can rely on Aeris to provide the tools and insights essential in making critical decisions to protect our warfighters and first responders, as well as strengthen homeland security and promote a more resilient and secure America.

AVIATION

Creating safe, efficient, effective, airspaces.

Technological advancements are reshaping the role of aviation in the movement of goods and people. Urban Air Mobility (UAM) and broader Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) are an emerging industry for local and regional air travel for people and cargo by semi-automated aircraft systems and uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS). As the industry grows and matures so will the need to preserve safe, efficient, effective operations in an airspace that integrates vehicles with differing mechanics and operational constraints. Aeris is developing UAS traffic management capabilities that provide microscale weather forecast information at resolutions relevant to UAS operations and using this information to determine optimal and safe flight routes.

LIFE SCIENCE

Employing data-driven decision making.

Making critical decisions in the life sciences demands actionable solutions grounded in data. The Aeris team provides a diverse array of methods and a proven track record of supporting decision-makers in these vital areas. Whether you’re looking to forecast industry trends, model the degradation rate of bacteria in the environment, determine which countermeasures to stockpile, or identify promising novel therapeutics for investment, our team employs both quantitative and qualitative data-driven approaches to deliver analyses that effectively address your needs.

DATA SCIENCE

Applying cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) technologies.

In today’s increasingly connected world, the proliferation of data and connected devices has created unprecedented opportunities for leveraging data science, ML, and AI. This wealth of information can be harnessed to drive innovation, solve complex challenges, and revolutionize industries. Aeris is at the vanguard in employing data science, machine learning, and artificial intelligence to address intricate and distinctive challenges. We are revolutionizing our clients’ approach to tackling complex problems by harnessing advanced analytics and predictive modeling, while pioneering innovative solutions to enhance efficiency and effectiveness across all levels of our clientele, from the command echelon to forward-deployed operators. Through its state-of-the-art technologies, Aeris empowers defense forces, government agencies, and first responders to make well-informed decisions that fortify national security and resilience. Aeris’ steadfast commitment to leveraging the cutting-edge capabilities of data science, machine learning, and AI is reshaping industries and fostering a more secure and resilient future for all.

PUBLIC HEALTH

Facilitating preparedness and response activities.

Infectious diseases, including both natural outbreaks and intentional releases, pose a significant threat to the health and safety of our nation. Preparing for such an event requires understanding the number of medical countermeasure (antibiotics, vaccines, ventilators, etc.) and the amount of personal protective equipment (gloves, masks, etc.) that will be required to respond to such an incident, as well as understanding how quickly these important resources must be distributed. The Aeris team uses advanced epidemiological and health effects modeling to ensure our country is prepared for the next infectious disease outbreak.

AIR QUALITY

Improving the quality of life for all.

Emissions of ambient air pollutants can have harmful effects ranging from impacts on public health to climate change. Prolonged exposure to poor air quality can lead to cancer, an impaired immune system, respiratory challenges, or even neurological problems. In recent decades, there is strong evidence connecting climate change to the release of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane. Aeris’ trusted expertise in dispersion modeling allows it to equip its customers with vital information regarding the current and future state of the atmosphere, the propagation of contaminants, and predicted concentrations of those contaminants at downstream locations. Armed with such information, Aeris customers can more readily determine and reduce risks to the environment and human health, improving the quality of life for people around the world.

WILDFIRE

Enabling enhanced response to wildfires.

In recent years the frequency and intensity of wildfires has increased while the wildland-urban interface area has expanded, leading to an escalating societal cost of these events. Accurate forecasts of weather can help mitigate the dangers associated with responding to a wildfire and maximize the efficiency of wildfire response personnel. The need for aviation fire weather forecasts has also increased in recent years as airborne firefighting assets have proven to be one of the most effective tools for fighting wildland fires. Accurately representing the interactions between the fire, local terrain, fire fuel characteristics and the atmosphere is critical to predicting fire behavior and addressing the needs of these stakeholders. Aeris is working to develop a modeling framework that realistically simulates winds, fire, and smoke at scales of tens of meters in an effort to enhance response and resiliency to wildfires.
