A partnership between "near-edge" cloud startup EDJX and defense networking specialist Cubic Corp. will seek to launch what the partners dub an "Internet of Military Things."

The edge platform would initially consist of the EDJX operating system, EdjOS, and Cubic's computing and networking hardware. The collaboration also includes Blueforce Development, an AI and predictive analytics specialist. The edge concept will be demonstrated on the Public Infrastructure Network Node (PINN), a test bed for autonomous edge applications operated by the Autonomy Institute.

Blueforce will be the first certified application developer on the proposed IoMT platform.

The collaboration also includes the Texas Military Department Camp Mabry based in Austin, which is hosting PINN. The "Alpha Lab" would allow developers to test and deploy new IoT applications that would serve as prototypes for military and civilian use cases.

Among the goals is a platform that would serve as a template for scaling a cloud-enabled "base to battlefield" edge framework designed for the military and civilian first responders. The collaboration combines "key ingredients missing in the pursuit of mobile, intelligent and autonomous systems development," said John Cowan, EDJX co-founder and CEO.
