We've had a burst of AFRL/RTX(ILS) microDoppler news recently, and the SBIR was to run for 6 months to 1 year. It was announced in December 2024, so it could pop up any time from now to the end of the year.

Another opportunity is Chelpis. They are a Taiwanese cybersecurity company. Which countries in all the world would be under more constant cyber attack than Taiwan?

That urgency may explain why the Chelpis agreement is directed to Akida 1 SoC.

There's a lot to unpack in the Chelpis announcement:

1. Akida 1000 chips for immediate inclusion in M2 cybersecurity cards for qualification and deployment

2. Collaboration to develop a PQ-AI robotic chip (PQ = post-quantum computing, ie, hardened against future quantum computer cyber attack).

3. Akida IP to also be used for NPU capabilities (Akida's primary function)

4. Exploring "advanced Akida IP visual GenAI capabilities" (Akida GenAI).

5. Applied for Taiwanese government support for the development

6. Made-in-USA strategy

BrainChip Collaborates with Chelpis-Mirle on Security Solution​

  • May 2


LAGUNA HILLS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--BrainChip Holdings Ltd (ASX: BRN, OTCQX: BRCHF, ADR: BCHPY), the world’s first commercial producer of ultra-low power, fully digital, event-based, neuromorphic AI, today announced that Chelpis Quantum Corp. has selected its Akida AKD1000 chips to serve as the processor for built-in post-quantum cryptographic security.

Chelpis, a chip company leading the Quantum Safe Migration ecosystem in Taiwan, is developing an M.2 card using the AKD1000 that can be inserted into targeted products to support their cryptographic security solutions. The M.2 card is based on a design from BrainChip along with an agreement to purchase a significant number of AKD1000 chips for qualification and deployment. Upon completion of this phase, Chelpis is planning to increase its commitment with additional orders for the AKD1000.

This agreement is the first step in a collaboration that is exploring the development of an AI-PQC robotic chip designed to fulfill both next-generation security and AI computing requirements. This project is a joint development effort with Chelpis partner company Mirle (2464.TW) and has been formally submitted for consideration under Taiwan’s chip innovation program. The funding aims to promote a new system-on-chip (SoC) integrating RISC-V, PQC, and NPU technologies. This SoC will specifically support manufacturing markets that emphasize a Made-in-USA strategy. Mirle plans to build autonomous quadruped robotics that mimic the movement of four-legged animals for industrial/factory environments. To enable this vision, Chelpis is exploring BrainChip’s advanced Akida™ IP to incorporate advanced visual GenAI capabilities in the proposed SoC design.

"The ability to add Edge AI security capabilities to our industrial robotics project that provides the low power data processing required is paramount to successfully achieving market validation in the robotics sector," said Ming Chih, CEO of Chelpis. "We believe that BrainChip’s Akida is just the solution that we further need to bring our SoC to fruition. Their event-based processing and advanced models serve as a strong foundation for developing a platform for manufacturing customers looking to leverage advanced robotics in their facilities."

"Akida’s ability to efficiently provide cyber-security acceleration with energy efficiency can help secure autonomous robotic devices," said Sean Hehir, CEO of BrainChip. "Akida’s innovative approach to supporting LLMs and GenAI algorithms could serve as a key contributor to Chelpis as they pursue government funding to develop their SoC and advance their industrial robotic initiatives
."

It looks like Chelpis are in boots and all.
Interesting results from AI when you ask what does AKIDA1000 enable Chelpis Robots to achieve for industrial use and in Defence use.
Also interesting when asked could asibstitute AKIDA

Totally agree, an AI question about the Industrial jobs or tasks these robots could perform is interesting. A question about adapting the robots for Defence and future defence uses is interesting as well. Its Taiwan so defence matters.

For vehicle to vehicle communication, there will need to be an agreed international standard communication protocol, just as there is for mobile phones.

For a company's patents to be included as part of the international standard, the company must agree to license their patents on reasonable terms to anyone who wants to use the patented invention. Having a set of core patents would be a nice little earner.

If ARM was an arm, BRN would be its biceps💪!
I’ve been spending some time in Japan lately, and things are starting to get interesting when you look at who’s actually connected to whom.
During a conversation with a business partner, a company called Vector came up …a German player… so let’s take a look.

Renesas, who,… as we all know,…licensed Akida from us, plays a pretty central role in all this. Not just because they’re integrating the Akida IP, but also because they’ve worked with Vector years ago. Back then, it was about CANopen and industrial Ethernet… not exactly headline material, but definitely industrially relevant.

So what’s Vector’s role? Well, they’re not some small outfit. They’re playing in the top league, especially in the AUTOSAR space. And more recently, they’ve teamed up with Synopsys to develop SDV platforms.
Yes, Synopsys… the same one that’s part of the Intel Foundry Alliance… just like BrainChip.

What’s emerging here is a pretty tight-knit web of players. Not all directly connected, but definitely linked through shared nodes:

Renesas ↔ Vector
Renesas ↔ BrainChip
Synopsys ↔ Intel Foundry ↔ BrainChip
Synopsys ↔ Vector

And when you also consider that Vector has been working with Mercedes-Benz on SDV tooling and embedded software…
Well, maybe it’s worth taking a closer look at what’s possibly already brewing quietly in the background.

Coincidence? Or is there already something moving under the radar that just hasn’t made it to the headlines yet?

Just asking for a friend.
I’m no engineer…
But the network is definitely there.

I’m not good at researching so I leave it to you @Bravo 😂😂







This press release on 11 July 2025 got me wondering whether Tata Exlsi was first introduced to BrainChip by Synopsys.

See the screenshot below showing a picture of BrainChip's Akida in Synopsys's "Corporate Overview for Investors May 2022"

BrainChip and Tata Elxsi officially announced their partnership on August 28, 2023, when Tata Elxsi joined BrainChip’s Essential AI ecosystem to integrate Akida neuromorphic technology into medical and industrial applications.

Tata’s continued collaboration with Synopsys (2025) builds upon their existing relationship with BrainChip, completing a triangle of opportunity IMO.

Synopsys + Tata could potentially model and test complex ECUs before production which is critical for SDV.
BrainChip + Tata could potentially allow these ECUs and future ECUs to embed real-time, energy-efficient AI inference.

IMO. DYOR.

Bengaluru, India – July 11, 2025 — Tata Elxsi, a global leader in design and technology services, today announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Synopsys, a leader in silicon to systems design solutions, to collaborate to deliver advanced automotive virtualization solutions. The MoU was signed at the SNUG India 2025 event in Bengaluru by senior leaders from both companies.
The collaboration will provide customers pre-verified, integrated solutions and services that make it easy to design and deploy virtual electronic control units (vECUs), a cornerstone technology critical for efficient software development and testing in today’s software-defined vehicles. The collaboration brings together Tata Elxsi’s engineering capabilities in embedded systems and integration with Synopsys’ industry-leading virtualization solutions that are used by more than 50 global automotive OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers to help reduce development complexity and cost, improve quality of software systems, and de-risk vehicle production timelines.
Together, the companies are already collaborating on programs with several global customers to enable vECUs, as well as software bring-up, board support package (BSP) integration, and early-stage software validation. These solutions are being deployed across vehicle domains such as powertrain, chassis, body control, gateway, and central compute, helping customers simulate real-world scenarios, validate software early, and reduce reliance on physical prototypes.
Through the collaboration, Synopsys and Tata Elxsi will further explore opportunities to scale and accelerate the deployment of electronics digital twins for multi-ECU and application specific systems.
6870a43cc4797-vxHohRYxjp.jpg

Our partnership with Synopsys reflects a future-forward response to how vehicle development is evolving. As OEMs move away from traditional workflows, there is growing demand for engineering services that are tightly integrated with virtualization tools. This strategic collaboration enables us to jointly address that shift with focus, flexibility, and domain depth,” said Sundar Ganapathi, Chief Technology Officer of Automotive, Tata Elxsi.
“The automotive industry’s transformation to software-defined vehicles requires advanced virtualization capabilities from silicon to systems. Our leadership enabling automotive electronics digital twins, combined with Tata Elxsi’s engineering scale and practical experience operationalising automotive system design, will simplify the adoption of virtual ECUs and thereby accelerate software development and testing to improve quality and time to market,” said Marc Serughetti, Vice President, Synopsys Product Management & Markets Group.

Great find Bravo,
Synopsys and Tata Electronics signed a Memorandum of Understanding on June 25, 2024.
Synopsys and Tata Elxsi formalized their partnership on July 11, 2025. This MoU focuses on delivering pre-verified, integrated virtualization solutions (vECUs and electronics digital twins) to accelerate software-defined vehicle development.
Sounds like Tata may be fairly advanced.
According to AI a Brainchip/Tata/Synopsis collaoration - summary of reply.

In summary, BrainChip’s Akida IP injects ultra-low-power, real-time intelligence at the edge of every automotive system. When paired with Synopsys’ silicon-to-systems EDA and virtualization flows and Tata’s integration & manufacturing capabilities, the result is a next-generation automotive platform that is smarter, more efficient, and dramatically faster to market.​

Based on BrainChip's communication, I'm guessing that we won't even know whether or not they achieve the $9M target in bookings this year.

But they promised at the AGM to actively engage and communicate with the shareholders. I am sure that AV said that they would and will do better.
So that empty promise is hopefully not the same as our commitment to revenue this year, but I guess they won’t be able to remember what they said or signed off on will they, going on past performance's.

But in saying that there sure has been plenty of progress and linked in stories, hopefully they can be believed and something good comes out of it.

Bravo really started something.
Tata Electronics and Synopsys collaborate to accelerate customer product design and ramp for India’s first fab
The Tats/Synopsys collaboration goes way past Auto.
Remember from my last post the 2022 Synopsys Artificial Intelligence pic shows a board containing an AKIDA chip.
In June 2024, Synopsys and Tata Electronics signed an MoU to support India’s first semiconductor fab in Dholera, Gujarat.

The partnership focuses on:

  • Advanced factory automation
  • AI-enabled yield analytics
  • TCAD flow setup
  • Design enablement IP and DTCO methodologies
Synopsys CEO Sassine Ghazi praised Tata’s vision for building semiconductor capacity in India
