Arlington, Virginia--(Newsfile Corp. - February 5, 2026) - Edge Total Intelligence Inc. (TSXV: CTRL) (OTCQB: UNFYF) (FSE: Q5i) ("edgeTI", "Company"), a leader in real-time digital operations solutions, is pleased to announce that it will be exhibiting at the upcoming WEST Conference sponsored by AFCEA International and the U.S. Naval Institute, being held in San Diego, CA on February 10-12, 2026.

Accelerating U.S. Shipbuilding and Sustainment Readiness

According to National Defense Magazine, the U.S. shipbuilding industry has been plagued with problems for years while China has established itself as a dominant figure in the global industry, accounting for 53.3 percent of shipbuilding worldwide. All the while, the United States makes up 0.1 percent, according to a March analysis by the Center for Strategic and International Studies.

"We are excited to participate in WEST 2026 to showcase our secure AI-powered Digital Twin capabilities with the AFCEA community," said Jacques Jarman, CRO of edgeTI. "We are no longer in a position of guaranteed superiority. Our warfighters require new capabilities to turn data into actionable decision-ready knowledge at the speed of relevance. I look forward to discussing how we address that challenge by providing commanders with the capability to achieve the data dominance at a fraction of the cost of legacy tools within weeks."

edgeTI will be showcasing its TRL9 (highest readiness level) industry-leading Digital Twin and secure Data Mesh edgeCore™ platform to attendees in Booth 1152 in alignment with this year's slogan: Sustaining Maritime Dominance: Warfighting Readiness for the Future Fight.

The edgeCore platform enables organizations to move faster, achieve mission objectives (under budget and ahead of schedule), and securely leverage data across domains. It delivers a real-time, purpose-built Data Mesh that accelerates AI/ML adoption in weeks-without costly data repositories.

As a patented, COTS, built-for-purpose platform, edgeCore connects enterprise systems in real time, eliminating data silos and redundant storage. Unlike traditional approaches that rely on slow, complex data replication into warehouses and lakes, edgeCore provides a faster, more secure, and more cost-effective way to use data where it already lives.
