Sheridan Technologies

Overview

Sheridan Technologies is an agile engineering firm with a proven DoD track record, making systems smarter, from software to hardware.

Problem Warfighters in GPS-denied, RF-contested areas lack autonomous ISR and counter-UAS capabilities without satellites or remote pilots.

Solution MAIO (Modular AI Overwatch) is an edge-AI sensor-fusion module that detects, tracks, and intercepts threats without GPS or comms. It guides ISR drones, powers munitions, and upgrades legacy systems. Fusing EO/IR, LiDAR, acoustic, passive RF, MAIO eliminates false positives for fire-and-forget targeting with zero RF emissions.

Field Validation 360° tracking and live-fire intercepts on quadrotors and 70 mm missiles in GPS-denied environments. Tests show 85% UAS kill rates.

Technology Maturity (TRL) TRL-7: Prototype proven in GPS-denied, live-fire, sensor-fusion tests.

Strategic Advantage Consensus AI (no false positives); edge-optimized (<30 W, no radios/satellites); modular open standards; unique EO/IR, LiDAR, RF & acoustic fusion.

Go-to-Market Access Self-funded via DoD contracts; in SBIR/xTech; using demos for R\&D; embedding in UAV/C-UAS; building loitering ISR UAV.

Dual-Use Potential Perimeter defense & surveillance; SWAT/military clearing: autonomous room mapping & threat location.

Team James Sheridan, CEO & architect, 10+ years in avionics (F-35, guided missiles); Robert Briody, EE, 30+ years in Aerospace & Defense (Collins, Raytheon, Ball Aerospace).

Competitive Landscape Startups like Anduril rely on GPS/RF emitters; primes (L3Harris, Raytheon) use bulky, satellite-dependent kits.

Primary User Tactical ISR teams, C-UAS operators, and small-unit leaders needing rapid detection & response.

User-Critical Problem Operators juggle sensor feeds, jammed GPS, and remote pilots, causing delays and missed targets. MAIO removes latency and lets them focus on mission decisions.
