Duality AI

Duality AI is a San Mateo–based software company founded in 2019 that builds Falcon, a high‑fidelity digital‑twin simulation platform tailored for unmanned and autonomous systems—from UGVs and drones to counter‑UAS systems. By bringing high-fidelity digital twins of environments and operating systems into Falcon, Duality’s customers generate accurate data and predictive behavior modeling that enables them to deploy automated systems robustly and at scale. What Falcon offers to our customers: 1. Simulation in photorealistic large-scale environments Using Unreal Engine and GIS-based data, Falcon creates expansive, lifelike virtual worlds—ideal for simulating complex, real-world scenarios at scale. 2. Rich virtual sensor suite Simulates data streams from LIDAR, radar, RGB/depth cameras, IMU, GPS, IR, SAR, and more, integrating directly with autonomy stacks over ROS/ROS2 or middleware. 3. Synthetic data generation Supports open‑loop simulation to produce labeled datasets, dramatically reducing reliance on real-world data for training perception models . 4. Closed‑loop system validation Enables real-time, in‑the‑loop testing of autonomy algorithms against control laws and digital twins of robotic systems, enabling regression testing. 5. Sim‑to‑Real fidelity tuning Tunable system twins and virtual sensors help minimize the reality gap, achieving real-world performance accuracy above 99% in manufacturing and autonomy projects. 6. Enterprise‑grade support & integration Clients benefit from a multidisciplinary support team—including world-class engineers, simulation experts, AI/ML specialists, and technical artists—plus specialized tools like Python API and middleware connectivity.

Vorbeck Materials

Vorbeck is a nontraditional defense contractor renowned for innovative graphene products and integrating graphene into high performance, low-weight Radio Frequency (RF) systems. We repeatedly and successfully integrate our antennas with transmit and receive systems in manned aircraft as well as Group 2 and/or Group 3 Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS). The dominating feature of Vorbeck’s graphene-based antennas is their near-zero weight. This is not an exaggeration; materials used to mount the antenna elements and cables used to extract signals are the only significant contributors of weight to our products; even our larger UHF antenna elements weigh less than an ounce. In addition, thanks to graphene’s flexible manufacturing capabilities, Vorbeck can develop antennas that are impossible to build with traditional methods. The weight savings that come from using graphene antennas translate into longer UAS flight time. The low-drag coefficients that come with our ultra-thin, conformal, additively manufactured antennas and arrays offer even more UAS duration or speed. Vorbeck is currently expanding production from our Jessup MD headquarters into a large-scale facility in Grand Forks, ND. This new larger, facility will enable all of our graphene-based products to be fully manufactured at scale, with all processes optimized for cost, reliability, and sustainability. Vorbeck can commercialize our lightweight, graphene-based antennas for use in Intelligence Community, DoD and commercial UAVs as well as civil UAVs or automotive radar guidance systems. Vorbeck’s flight-tested, ultra-light weight, graphene-based radiating elements offer zero-drag conformal array options for high-gain directional antennas on Group 2 or 3 UAS. Vorbeck’s expanding relationship with the University of North Dakota (UND) and the UND Research Institute for Autonomous Studies is aiding our development of additional operations concepts for Group 3 UAS firefighting and precision agriculture applications. Vorbeck has an extensive intellectual property portfolio, with over 100 granted or exclusively licensed patents and over a dozen more on file. Vorbeck’s IP covers technologies including methods for the manufacture of graphene, formulations of graphene-based conductive inks and coatings, printed electronic components made with graphene inks, electro-magnetic attack shielding structures, and complete communications and sensing systems.
