What ANDRO Computational Solutions does

ANDRO Computational Solutions, LLC is a privately-held U.S. defense and wireless technology company founded in 1994 by Dr. Andrew Drozd and headquartered at Griffiss Business & Technology Park in Rome, New York, with satellite offices in Syracuse, Dayton, and San Diego. The company develops software-defined radio (SDR), AI/ML, spectrum management, and mesh networking technologies for the U.S. Department of Defense, other federal agencies, and a growing public-safety customer base. Core products include the SPEARLink patented energy-aware mesh networking radio, the JERVIS military-grade off-grid emergency communications system, the HELPER low-SWaP IoT network, the PRISMTAK serverless ATAK plugin, and the AXL-Force/PRISM Beyond 5G dynamic spectrum access software suite. Technology research is anchored in the Marconi-Rosenblatt AI Innovation Lab, which has produced multiple peer-reviewed IEEE publications, the MR-iNet Gym reinforcement learning framework, and two granted USPTO patents covering attentional-ML-based RF fingerprinting and cryptographic device authentication. ANDRO also participates in the Open6G industry-university research center (Northeastern University) and the National Spectrum Consortium Advanced Spectrum Coexistence Demonstration program alongside partners including Battelle, Peraton Labs, KRI, and Raytheon.

The company monetizes primarily through government R&D services — SBIR contracts (Air Force Research Laboratory, U.S. Army, U.S. Navy, USSOCOM), direct awards, and Other Transaction Agreements — with separately disclosed contract values such as a $2.97M WASP-NG increase (total $6.17M), a $1.25M AFRL PRISMTAK award, a $150K Army SBIR Phase I, a $240K Navy contract, and an over-$2M AFRL HAWC contract. Revenue is supplemented by direct product sales: SPEARLink sells quote-based to enterprise customers while JERVIS is sold direct-to-consumer via e-commerce with tiered bundles priced from $7,500 to $79,500 plus $150 individual units, and by fee-for-service engineering offerings including CEM analysis and rapid waveform development (claimed 5-10x faster than FPGA approaches via C++ on GPP). State innovation matching grants through FuzeHub and NYSTAR provide additional non-dilutive capital, and the company holds OASIS+ Best in Class contractor status, streamlining federal procurement access.
