Tercero is a Chicago-based startup focused on advanced tactical edge AI software and hardware for defense intelligent sensor and autonomous vehicle applications. We are addressing the growing need in the DoD for more compute power in size, weight, and power (SWaP)-constrained machine learning applications at the tactical edge. Specifically, Tercero develops a field programmable gate array (FPGA) development tool for edge artificial intelligence applications for the DoD, allowing our customers to quickly convert machine learning models into power-efficient hardware designs for FPGAs. Our technologies will allow our customers to deploy new FPGA-based designs in a matter of hours or days rather than weeks or months with current methods, allowing the DoD to get new capabilities to our armed forces much more quickly.
