波士顿人工智能公司ASI于周二宣布,已在C轮融资中筹集3.25亿美元,估值达30亿美元。该公司的软件可对空中交通、电网和军事行动进行提前数小时、数天乃至数周的建模预测,目的是让运营方在问题扩散之前采取行动。

ASI has raised $325 million in a Series C round that values it at $3 billion, the Boston AI company announced on Tuesday. Its software models air traffic, power grids and military operations hours, days and weeks ahead. The aim is to let operators act before problems spread.

本轮融资由Spark Capital领投,Citadel Securities的关联机构、Meritech Capital、Craft Ventures、Energy Impact Partners和Andreessen Horowitz也参与其中。据彭博社报道,该公司曾用名Air Space Intelligence。曾领投其种子前轮融资的Gradient祝贺团队:“热烈祝贺@AirSpaceIntel以30亿美元估值完成由@sparkcapital @Citadel @MeritechCapital领投的3.25亿美元融资!我们很高兴从最初就领投了@GradientVC的种子前轮,并持续为@pbuckendorf及其团队的表现感到惊叹。”

2026年10月20日ASI创始人兼首席执行官菲利普·布肯多夫表示:“当整个科技生态投入数千亿美元教AI摆弄文字、生成文本时,ASI则深度专注于能够管理和控制实体资产的AI系统。”

Spark Capital led the round. Affiliates of Citadel Securities, Meritech Capital, Craft Ventures, Energy Impact Partners and Andreessen Horowitz also took part. The company used to go by the name Air Space Intelligence, Bloomberg reported. Gradient, which led its pre-seed round, congratulated the team on Huge congratulations to @AirSpaceIntel on raising $325M at a $3B valuation led by @sparkcapital @Citadel @MeritechCapital! We’re thrilled to have led the pre-seed @GradientVC from the beginning and continue to be blown away by @pbuckendorf and team October 20, 2026“While the broader tech ecosystem spent hundreds of billions teaching AI to manipulate words and generate text, ASI is deeply focused on AI systems that can manage and control physical assets,” said Phillip Buckendorf, ASI’s founder and chief executive.

美国联邦航空管理局合同 今年6月,美国联邦航空管理局授予ASI一份价值8.75亿美元的合同,用AI管理美国空中交通。据彭博社报道,ASI击败了此前竞争该合同的Palantir和泰雷兹。据路透社报道,该合同期限为12年。

The FAA contract In June, the Federal Aviation Administration gave ASI an $875 million contract to manage US air traffic with AI. ASI beat Palantir and Thales, which had been competing for the contract, Bloomberg reported. The deal runs for 12 years, according to Reuters.

该系统综合天气、飞行航路和管制员人手配置来预测拥堵,并提出减少延误的方案。美国联邦航空管理局于9月开始使用该系统,起初仅在华盛顿周边地区。该局计划将其推广至全国。

The system combines weather, flight paths and controller staffing to predict congestion and suggest ways to cut delays. The FAA started using it in September, at first only around Washington. It plans to expand it across the country.

ASI称,它是2000年以来仅有的四家赢得如此规模联邦纪录项目的科技公司之一。

ASI says it is one of only four technology companies founded since 2000 to win a federal programme of record of that size.

布肯多夫对彭博电视台表示:“政府没有依赖可能需要五到十年才能完成的研究工作,而是在采购已经成熟的能力。”

“Instead of relying on research work that might take five to 10 years, the government is acquiring proven capability,” Buckendorf told Bloomberg Television.

陆军、航空公司和电网 美国陆军于10月授予ASI一份为期五年、价值9900万美元的合同,用于其下一代指挥与控制项目。该公司表示,在“史诗之怒”行动期间,它为4000多名美国空军操作人员提供了支持。

Army, airlines and the grid The US Army gave ASI a five-year, $99 million contract in October for its next generation command and control programme. The company says it supported more than 4,000 US Air Force operators during Operation Epic Fury.

达美航空、阿拉斯加航空和联合航空都在使用其系统。公用事业公司National Grid用它来规划和运营电力网络。ASI还与Joby合作,管理电动空中出租车的空域。

Delta Air Lines, Alaska Airlines and United Airlines use its systems. The utility National Grid uses them to plan and run its electricity network. ASI has also worked with Joby on managing electric air taxi skies.

新资金将推动ASI进一步深入能源、物流和军事野战行动领域。它还将扩大其在波士顿的研究和工程团队。据彭博社报道,ASI是美国国防和航空航天初创企业融资潮中的一员。本月,Anduril以900亿美元估值启动了员工股份出售。

The new money will take ASI further into energy, logistics and military field operations. It will also grow its research and engineering teams in Boston. ASI is part of a wave of US defence and aerospace start-ups drawing investors, Bloomberg reported. This month, Anduril opened an employee share sale at a $90bn valuation.
