Not sure if this one comes up under the FENCE program @uiux has been tracking?
Solicitation has closed so worth seeing where award goes maybe.
A couple of stipulations in the scope worth noting in particular Ph III.
Event-Based Infrared Read-Out Integrated Circuit for Neuromorphic Processing
TECH FOCUS AREAS: Microelectronics
TECHNOLOGY AREAS: Sensors
OBJECTIVE: This topic seeks to model, design, and produce an asynchronous, event-based infrared read out integrated circuit (ROIC) with low power, medium array format, and digital outputs compatible with neuromorphic algorithms.
PHASE I: Selected Phase I efforts will develop a model for an event based infrared ROIC and imager using provided detector models. The model will be delivered in the form of code (e.g., Matlab, Python) for verification and future validation.
PHASE II: Companies selected for Phase II will design and produce an asynchronous ROIC based on the models at the desired array size and pixel pitch. Efforts will demonstrate low power operation under static scenes, as well as high speed operation. Both hybridized focalplane arrays and unhybridized ROICs will be delivered for testing, with supporting hardware interface control documentation and control software.
PHASE III DUAL USE APPLICATIONS: Phase III efforts will demonstrate a fully packaged camera with a neuromorphic processing chip. Spiking neural network device technology is preferable. Efforts will leverage emerging event-based sensing algorithms to demonstrate.

I understand F.E.N.C.E to be a project to "catch hypersonics"
