Nice find, but very tricky to answer, LOL.Hi all,
Looking to use the 1000 eyes of the forum to help dig deeper into some product.
Was looking through the SBIR award page and saw "Cyber Compliant High Throughput Router for Contested Space Environments".
Found that the company is using some neuromorphic space processor and has a product just recently released in Sept 2025, The Isidore Quantum.
The thing that i found puzzling is that the product apparently uses Neuromorphic processor according the write up by the CEO, Forwardedge.ai
which also looks similar to ANT61 beacon design.
Any clue to which space grade neuromorphic processor that they might be using that is commercially available and has a space heritage? Just seems similar to what Quantum Ventura was doing.

Write up by the CEO on Isidore Quantum
In one of your links, it says: Software Defined Router (SD-R)?
Chat GPT can not rule out that Akida is used, but can't confirm it.
What I checked and what GPT wrote, partly:
- Forward Edge product pages and brochures say Isidore Quantum “incorporates the latest neuromorphic processors” and describe machine-learning/AI anomaly detection, but they don’t name a vendor (Akida/BrainChip) publicly. Forward Edge Ai Help Center+2Forward Edge Ai Help Center+2
- BrainChip (Akida) has recent press and partnerships showing Akida being used for edge cyber-defense projects (e.g., Quantum Ventura / CyberNeuro-RT) and has active product/press activity — but those announcements don’t mention Forward Edge or Isidore Quantum. BrainChip+2BrainChip+2
- Forward Edge has recent security/compliance news about Isidore (FIPS 140-3, white paper, brochures) but again no public supplier/vendor list for the neuromorphic block. The Quantum Insider+1
- Possible they use Akida (or another commercial neuromorphic chip) — vendors sometimes avoid naming specific component suppliers for IP/security/procurement reasons. Intercom
- Also possible they use an in-house neuromorphic design, a different supplier, or a custom integration that isn’t publicly disclosed.
- Conclusion: absence of public naming is not definitive proof either way — but right now there is no public source that confirms Akida is used in Isidore Quantum.
