NASA awarded DornerWorks, LLC, a definitive contract under the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II program to develop assured isolation of artificial intelligence workloads for High-Performance Spaceflight Computing (HPSC) platforms. DornerWorks is a technology company whose work under this award focuses on secure computing and software engineering for spaceflight systems. The project is intended to help separate and protect AI functions running on HPSC platforms, supporting dependable use of AI in demanding aerospace environments. The scope is described as development of the AI-isolation approach; the award record does not identify specific deliverables or technical milestones. This is a Phase II research-and-development award, but the available data does not state whether it was competed or sole-source, identify a contract vehicle or solicitation, or provide subcontractor or prior-contract information. The two-year period of performance is scheduled to begin in late 2026 and conclude in late 2028. The award is significant as NASA pursues safer, more reliable integration of AI capabilities into future spaceflight computing.
