By Ross Wilkers Dec 18, 2020 Northrop Grumman’s scouting of artificial intelligence technologies created in the commercial world and applicable to the government domain has led the company to invest seed money in a Philadelphia-based wireless system provider founded in 2017. Deepwave Digital announced Tuesday it closed a $3 million fundraising round led by Northrop Grumman and Jumpstart NJ Angel Network. The exact amount of the contributions from investors was undisclosed. Chris Daughters, a vice president in Northrop’s aeronautics systems segment, said his company was attracted in part to Deepwave Digital’s focus on both the hardware and software aspects of combining AI with radio frequency and wireless systems.
