Speaking of IntellisenseAgree, RF could be an interesting one.
Not just military but also Lidar amongst others.
I saw @Fact Finder earlier post discussing 16nm as well as Xilinx.
From Nandans tweet I decided to have a closer look at Ipsolon Research as he provided a web link. One of the companies he thanked re Akida Gen 2.

Ipsolon Research wins follow-on contract with Navy
September 9, 2021
Fredrick, MD – The United States Navy has selected Ipsolon Research’s SBIR for a phase II follow-on contract after a successful phase I demonstration of its Deep Learning (DL) techniques.
“We used DL techniques to replace or extend the PDW-based approach to radar signal detection, “explained Ipsolon Research CEO, John Shanton.
Deep learning (DL) algorithms are a form of Machine Learning (ML) that use neural network (NN) architectures to process data and predict the presence of data patterns often called prediction or inference.
The specific goal of this project is to develop a deployable electronic sensor optimized to use ML techniques for real-time detection of radar signals and other signals of interest.
“The phase I results demonstrated that ML is a viable method for detection of a known radar signal type in power- and space-efficient FPGA devices,” Shanton said.

Artificial Intelligence in Radio Frequencies
Artificial Intelligence in Radio Frequencies
Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) as an application of AI, has today become an inevitable part of major industries such as healthcare, financial trending, and transportation. Future urgent need to intelligently utilize wireless resources to meet the need of ever-increasing...signalprocessingsociety.org
Excerpt.
Application of Machine Learning in Cognitive Radio
The concept of CR was first proposed by Joseph Mitola [1] in order for mitigating the scarcity in limited radio spectrum by improving spectrum allocation efficiency by allowing unlicensed users (cognitive radio users) to identify and transmit over the frequency bands which are already assigned to the licensed users (primary users), but idle over specific time/space (spectrum holes). Spectrum hole identification is usually achieved by sensing the radio frequency (RF) environment through a process called spectrum sensing. It should be noted that the title of CR is not limited only to unlicensed wireless users and implied to any wireless user that adds the cognition capability along with reconfigurability to its system function.
So, where had I heard of "cognitive radio"?...oh that's right...from the Ph I and Ph II NASA solicitation with Intellisense using Akida.
So some prev posts on NECR and related SBIRs as refresh.

Just having a flick through Socionexts report for Q3 - 2023/3 that came out not long ago.
Attached as well fwiw.
Liked a couple slides re their direction that we know of so far. Definitely think there will be some growth here though probs a slower burn.
Initiatives like closer partnerships with SoC ecosystem EDA, IP and suppliers.
Auto & datacentre in particular appear to have NPU requirements / targets...hopefully Akida in the mix.

AI Inference Processes Data And Augments Human Abilities

AI Inference Processes Data And Augments Human Abilities
AI provides ways to process the vast amounts of data by creating models and running them on inference engines in devices and at the network edge. Brainchip and Hailo recently announced neural network-based AI inference devices that could augment human abilities.
www.forbes.com
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been making headlines over the past few months with the widespread use and speculation about generative AI, such as Chat GPT. However, AI is a broad topic covering many algorithmic approaches to mimic some of the capabilities of human beings. There is a lot of work going on to use various types of AI to assist humans in their various activities. Note that all AI has limitations. It generally doesn’t reason, like we do and it is generally best at recognizing patterns and using that information to create conclusions or recommendations. Thus, AI must be used with caution and not used to form conclusions beyond what it is capable of analyzing. Also, AI must be tested to make sure it is not biased based upon the training sets used to create the AI algorithms.
AI comes in big and small packages. Much of the training is done in data centers, where vast stored information and sophisticated processing of that information can be used to train AI models. However, once a model is created it can be used to interpret information collected locally via sensors, cameras, microphones and other data sources to make inferences that can help people to make informed decisions. One important application for such AI inference engines is for mobile and consumer devices that may be used for biometric monitoring, voice and image recognition and many other purposes. Inference engines can also be used to improve manufacturing and various office tasks. AI inference engines are also an important component in driving assistance and autonomous vehicles, enabling lane departure detection and collision avoidance, and other capabilities.
There have been some recent announcements for AI inference engine chips from Brainchip and Hailo. Let’s look at these announcements and their implications for processing and interpreting vast amounts of stored and sensed data. Slides from a Brainchip briefing provided some economics for making and potential applications for AI. It said that the costs of training a single high-end model is about $6M and annual losses in manufacturing due to unplanned downtime were about $50B. In terms of the opportunity, about 1TB is generated by an autonomous car per day and there is about a $1.1T cost of healthcare and lost productivity due to preventable chronic disease. A PWC report projects $15.7T in global GDP benefit from AI in 2030 and Forbes Business Insights projects $1.2T in AI internet of things (AIoT) revenue by that year.
To help enable this opportunity, Brainchip announced its 2nd generation of its akida IP Platform. The figure below from the briefing seems to show that this platform may be using chiplet technology that integrates the Akita Neuron Fabric chiplet to perform various functions.

HAILO PRODUCT ANNOUNCEMENT
The Hailo-15 visual processing unit (VPU) family includes three variants — the Hailo-15H, Hailo-15M, and Hailo-15L. Hailo devices also include neural networking cores. These devices are designed to meet the varying processing needs and price points of smart camera makers and AI application providers. The product support from 7 TOPS (Tera Operation per Second) up to 20 TOPS. The company says that all Hailo-15 VPUs support multiple input streams at 4K resolution and combine a powerful CPU and DSP subsystems with Hailo’s AI core. The Hailo-15H is capable of running the object detection model YoloV5M6 with high input resolution (1280x1280) at real time sensor rate, or the industry classification model benchmark, ResNet-50, at an 700 FPS.

100% agree @Esq.111
Clarifying our liquidity today will be far more important than any demo news. Yellen just announced the gov won’t bailout SVB. Hopefully it’s just worry but I fear that a press release by BRN could have been alreadymade over the weekend to clarify the issue if we weren’t involved. Reports are that around 50% of startup in SV had an account with them. My fingers and toes are crossed

Definitely a good idea especially considering we are in the middle of a capital raise that is dependent on share price. Also a chance to throw in a cheeky comment along the lines of 'Brainchip are not affected by the fallout of SBV as our EAP customers are all Fortune 500 companies'

Do not forget that if Brainchip was invested in Silicon Valley Bank it would have lost a commercially price sensitive sum of money and be obligated to make an ASX announcement.
The correct and logical conclusion if there is no announcement is that there is nothing to announce.
While I would prefer an announcement to fend off the attacks by WANCA’s the absence of any announcement means everything is AOK at Brainchip.
