In terms of business development, Airship AI completed a merger with BYTS on December 21, 2023, and became the accounting acquirer, now trading under the ticker symbol 'AISP'. The company specializes in structuring unstructured data at the edge using AI models, catering to government and law enforcement agencies, as well as large commercial corporations. Airship AI's primary offerings include Outpost AI, Acropolis, and Airship Command, which manage data across the full lifecycle with a secure permissioned architecture. Looking ahead, Airship AI plans to focus on expanding within existing government customers, penetrating the commercial marketplace, and expanding edge AI-based solutions. The company began selling AI-based solutions in late 2022 and is transitioning data management and analysis workloads to the edge. Airship AI expects to fund operations for the next twelve months through cash on hand, operations, and financing transactions, but acknowledges that equity financing could lead to dilution for existing stockholders or require them to waive certain rights and preferences.
