Jaxon, Inc.

Jaxon, Inc., doing business as Jaxon.ai, is a small business based in Lincoln, Massachusetts, that develops artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies for defense research applications and operates exclusively as a prime contractor under Small Business set-asides. The company specializes in autonomous systems, neurosymbolic AI, large language models, object detection, and space-based infrared target recognition—capabilities it delivers primarily through the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs to defense agencies.

Jaxon's customer footprint is entirely defense-concentrated across three agencies. The Air Force Research Laboratory dominates with six awards totaling $4.4 million in combined potential value, followed by the Naval Air Warfare Center with two awards for $4 million and the Space and Missile Systems Center with one award for $1.54 million. The rankings converge—there is no tension between volume and dollars—indicating a stable relationship with AFRL as the primary customer and consistent engagement with Navy and Space Force research centers.

Recent work exemplifies Jaxon's AI and rapid prototyping orientation. A $3.99 million SBIR Phase II delivery order from the Naval Air Warfare Center (awarded July 2024, due July 2026) funds research and development addressing AI hallucination issues and advancing detection, recognition, and situational awareness capabilities under a single-award Basic Ordering Agreement. A $1.54 million SBIR Phase III contract from the Space and Missile Systems Center (awarded July 2025, due July 2026) develops the Hybrid Observation and Processing System (HOPS), an AI-enhanced framework integrating large language models and neurosymbolic AI for space-based infrared target detection, tracking, and classification. An earlier $3.38 million SBIR Phase II purchase order from the Air Force Research Laboratory (awarded February 2023, due September 2026) targets object signature detection for situational awareness under proposal F2D-7802. A $749 thousand SBIR Phase II contract from AFRL (awarded March 2022, completed March 2023) supported Jaxon + AutoSpec for Gamechanger. Most recently, AFRL awarded a $74.9 thousand purchase order in June 2026 for Fractal Agent Swarm capabilities.

Activity has remained sparse and episodic over the observed period—nine prime awards since 2022, with one or two awards per year in 2022–2026—with $9 million obligated against a $9.9 million combined potential value across all awards. Eight of Jaxon's nine awards fall under NAICS 541511 (Research and Development in Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences), and five awards carry Defense Applied Research PSC coding. Jaxon has no subcontract footprint and does not hold a position on any government-wide vehicles; all work flows through direct purchase orders or single-award BOAs with research laboratories. The company's track record across multiple SBIR phases and defense agencies positions it as an established but modest-scale contributor to defense-focused AI research and autonomous systems development.

Jaxon.AI is an AI verification agent that mathematically proves the output from AI models like ChatGPT is accurate. Based on R&D with DoD, Jaxon's proprietary DSAIL (Domain-Specific AI Logic) technology uses advanced reasoning techniques to check if AI-generated answers align with established policies, regulations, and known facts. Instead of modifying the AI itself, we treat it like a 'black box' and apply formal verification methods that follow strict rules and create a clear audit trail. As trust in AI remains a major challenge, Jaxon is making it reliable for mission-critical applications that require consistent, predictable results.
