In April 2021, it was announced that Commonwealth Computer Research Inc (CCRI) had been acquired by General Atomics: the worldwide defense, energy, and transportation corporation. Variously SBIR-STTR nvolved in since soon after the firm's founding in 1989 but not usually a major volume and not exclusive to the federal government, CCRI organized around offering software solutions ranging from optimizing stochastic material handling systems in one of the world's largest ports, to fielding a natural language understanding and companion target tracking system for 24/7 operations, to building statistical models to reveal geographic patterns of improvised explosive devices. CCRI's interests and areas of expertise include Logistics Planning and Optimization (resource allocation and scheduling), Intelligence Support (collection asset management) including SIGINT, ELINT and COMINT (natural language processing, sensor placement analysis, sparse measurement vector tracking and data fusion); Civil Affairs (predictive reasoning); and Decision Sciences (risk assessment and safety analysis; data mining; system design, test and evaluation). The conclusions derived from research in these areas support C4ISR.
