PROJECTS & CONCEPTS
A Transparent View of What We’re Exploring, Pursuing, and Building Toward.
This page highlights SSG’s concept-development and federal innovation pursuits. Items are labeled by status so prospective partners can distinguish submitted proposals and active concept work from awarded or completed client projects.
Current Concept Portfolio
AI-Driven Space Cargo Orchestration
Status: Submitted SBIR Phase I pursuit. Concept centered on intelligent cargo orchestration with LiDAR-verified digital-twin validation to improve visibility, coordination, and decision support for complex logistics operations.
Edge Voice AI for Logistics Command & Control
Status: Concept exploration. Secure, edge-deployable voice-enabled AI concept intended to support operators in logistics environments where fast access to operational information matters.
Organizational Digital Twin for Logistics
Status: Opportunity and concept development. A digital-twin approach focused on representing processes, dependencies, resources, and decision points across a logistics organization for planning and operational insight.
Supply-Chain Dependency & Risk Analysis
Status: Focus area. Research and decision-support concepts for identifying critical dependencies, bottlenecks, vulnerabilities, and resilience options across complex supply networks.
Autonomy & Human-Machine Workflow Concepts
Status: Focus area. Concepts exploring how autonomous or semi-autonomous systems, operators, data, and workflows can be integrated safely and effectively into mission or commercial operations.
Digital Capability for Family-Owned Businesses
Status: Active doctoral research domain. Research focused on how leaders in U.S. Black family-owned businesses develop structured digital capabilities to support organizational growth and scalability.
What a Concept Engagement Can Include
Problem & User Discovery
Interviews, workshops, process analysis, stakeholder mapping, and mission/business problem definition.
Feasibility & Evidence
Technology/market research, constraints, readiness, risks, business case, and partner landscape.
Solution & Prototype Planning
Requirements, CONOPS, system context, MVP/prototype scope, test approach, and decision gates.
Transition Strategy
Commercialization, acquisition, implementation, funding, teaming, adoption, and scale pathways.
