BRN Discussion Ongoing

[Diogenese]

In Decembar 2024, BRN announced an SBIR for AFRL for radar, to be developed with an unnamed sub-contractor, who, in 20250401 turned out to the RTX/Raytheon. I guess BRN was named as the prime contractor because the SBIR had an employee limit of 500.

In the interim RTX announced the demonstration of AI/ML with 4th gen fighter, but this was not BRN AI/ML:

GOLETA, Calif., Feb. 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Raytheon, an RTX business (NYSE: RTX), has successfully completed flight testing on the first-ever AI/ML-powered Radar Warning Receiver (RWR) system for a fourth-generation aircraft.

The Cognitive Algorithm Deployment System, known as CADS, combines the latest Embedded Graphics Processing Unit with Deepwave Digital's computing stack, enabling AI models to be integrated into Raytheon's legacy RWR systems for AI/ML processing at the sensor. This integration allows CADS to employ cognitive methods to sense, identify and prioritize threats. With the CADS capability, the enhanced RWR will increase aircrew survivability while facilitating the rapid and cost-effective mass deployment of modern AI/ML capabilities.

"The advantages of AI in defense systems are extensive, and our recent CADS test demonstrates how commercially available products, paired with advanced algorithms and cognitive methods, can help the U.S. and its allies outpace peer threats," said Bryan Rosselli, president of Advanced Products and Solutions at Raytheon. "CADS' ability to quickly process data and run third-party algorithms that prioritize threats, with almost no latency will significantly enhance survivability for military personnel."

Initial CADS hardware and cognitive radar processing capabilities were tested on Raytheon's flight test aircraft. CADS performed successfully during additional flight testing and demonstrations on an F-16 at the Air National Guard's test range near Tucson, Arizona in December. The flight tests incorporate containerized AI/ML techniques from the Georgia Tech Research Institute, Vadum, Inc., and Raytheon's cognitive electronic warfare team.

CADS is expected to begin being procured across multiple platforms in early 2025.

Mapping Complex Sensor Signal Processing Algorithms onto Neuromorphic Chips

On 4/17/24 Department of the Air Force issued SBIR / STTR Topic AF242-D015 for Mapping Complex Sensor Signal Processing Algorithms onto Neuromorphic Chips due 6/12/24

www.highergov.com

Mapping Complex Sensor Signal Processing Algorithms onto Neuromorphic Chips

OBJECTIVE: Develop an efficient workflow and approach for mapping complex RF and radar signal processing algorithms onto neuromorphic hardware. The neuromorphic hardware can be a limited research prototype or a commercial product. The signal processing algorithms encompass processing of RF signals to decode communication waveforms, Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) adaptive beamforming, Space-Time Adaptive Processing (STAP), Ground Moving Target Indicator radar, and generating Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images from raw in-phase and quadrature data. The goal is to outline a versatile approach that can translate algorithms as specified in the Matlab or Python software environment into a neuromorphic model implemented in physical hardware.

Rather than being competition for BRN, the Raytheon/Georgia Tech demonstration could be thought of as a proof of concept for AI/ML, using Raytheon's legacy hardware. The SBIR clearly recognizes the benefits of neuromorphic hardware, and AI/ML is right in Akida's sweet spot.

Recently I revisited the connection with DJI and Brainchip. The below demo used the Akida PCIe Board and the DJI Tello drone (demo was a couple years ago and this tello drone features in other detection vidoes on utube)

I think that there is more then the eye can see with this connection as I seem to recall seeing a recent picture with Brainchip somewhere showing yet another dji drone. Again I could have dreamt this as I am having some broken sleep . But on the new flashy website just wanted to bring this back to the surface and the famous words on the fly. If a product like this is sold with akida capabilities that sure would be great.

Bravo:
I hav it on reesonabull orthoritty that their were going to be a number of annownsmints this weak but jew 2 the constunt complaneing about spelling misttakes, ect: thay hav sent them off to the South Park Elamentery Skool for proof reeding.
Unfortunatley thay start summar holidaes tomorow and couldnt give a crap about wereking in the leadup.
So we will hav to wayt until thay return. at he end of Orgust.

PS Maybe go

Does Brn have restrictions selling to DJI being they are based in China ?.

hmmmm not sure on that, maybe, but i'm curious as to why they would have used a dji tello to practice their capabilities in the first place, so maybe another drone provider will adapt this with akida if dji can not?

 

[smoothsailing18]

Yes hopefully

Feels to me that the whole market seems to be quivering with uncertainty.
Just looking for a catalyst to either surge or collapse.
The curse of living in "interesting times".
Been so much "buzz" recently that it's behaving like an addict, always needing a bigger and bigger hit, to try and re-experience that original high.

True , though it would not hurt for our two newly engaged marketing firms to get off their asses and start delivering some feedback to shareholders & heaven forbid ........ THE ASX.

Bravo's BrainChip Community Update: Still No Announcement… But Here's 300 Words That Sound REALLY IMPORTANT​

Fellow Aki-dakians, Neuromorphic Noobs, and Edge Enthusiasts,

We interrupt this regularly scheduled period of complete and utter boredom to bring you… another non-update.

Yes, the ASX remains tragically announcement-free. But don’t be fooled - beneath this tranquil facade lies a veritable cacophony of untethered synaptic activity. Somewhere, deep within a bunker protected by quantum-hardened encryption and at least one espresso machine, a team of engineers is currently adjusting a spiking temporal module and running recursive TENN topologies through a pseudo-stochastic inference grid.

What does it all mean?

Nothing.
We still can’t tell you.
NDAs thicker than a plank of prettified wood.

However, rest assured that at this very moment:

• An ultra low-power Akida SoC is classifying dust particles using event-based micro-Doppler signatures.
• Someone, hopefully one of our staff members, is feeding radar chirps into a latency-pruned, TENNs-optimized, biologically plausible digitally anodised, neuronal array to connect onto some poor unsuspecting person's cortical column.
• And a squirrel may or may not be running a keyword detection model on a single microwatt run off a truss tomato.

Meanwhile, corporate remains in a hyper-inference pre-commercialization phase of the prove-it-silently-then-scale-it-later pipeline (patent pending).

So, the news is - there is still no news - not a brass razoo's worth of it to be found anywhere.

But oh, the potential theoretical news that could one day emerge! It gives me tingles up and down my axon hillock just thinking about it!

Stay strong. Stay speculative.

And remember: in the world of edge AI,
"Sometimes the quietest chips make the loudest impact."


Yours in low-power optimism,
Bravo on behalf of the powers that be.

Bravo, "Bravo".
This has to be post of the day, and barring some wet sloppy kiss of an announcement, dripping with cash, likely, post of the week!

Interesting

Intel still offer BRN IP through the 14A Process node which they report to be focusing on going forward.

This was from a conference Intel held last year I believe, or the year before... getting blurry
Bring on the $$$$

 

[MrRomper]

Haven't looked for a while. But there are two recently published patents at USPTO. Both referencing Brainchip and published on 26/6.

One from Brainchip.

They look interesting. Apologies if already posted.

ok to add to this I wasn't dreaming and I think this was posted earlier but for me its starting to add up quite favourably.

https://www.rt.com/usa/202323-brain-chip-drone-darpa/ (this was an old article) doesn't directly mention brainchip but brain inspired chip..and mentions those famous "on the fly" words

and recently on X was this picture only days ago and to me that looks like a dji but who knows. Now if only just only one or two big companies can come out from hiding...

Also not forgetting the contract we got in December 2024

Have a great night fellow brners

That is most definitely a DJI phantom, I have this model myself.
