BRN Discussion Ongoing

Brilliant ,

Great to have our CTO a well respected industry professional who’s happy to share company progress & also share how we compare to other less worthy competition.

This post by our CTO in my view is a perfect example of how to keep share holders updated with progress without any NDA infringements .

Agree totally TTM & TC, this is a great post, direct, succinct and clear on intent, and taking it direct to the Cloud based alternatives……

Love the final statement….. we’ve been here for a while now, just waiting for the bull rush to trigger…. !

Hadn't seen this guy before but seems to be a fan.

Posted a couple months ago and he says Ant61 & partners already started on Optimus 2 for a 2026 launch.

He is also with Team Tumbleweed which is space oriented and Mars in particular working with ESA and others.

Wonder if we have a look in too.

Neuromorphic Computing to Enable more Energy-Efficient, Adaptable, Faster and more Intelligent Space Operations and Exploration BrainChip, a leading provider of ultra-low power, event-based neuromorphic AI solutions, had its Akida™ neuromorphic chip launched into Low Earth Orbit (LEO) aboard the Optimus-1 spacecraft built by Space Machines Company. BrainChip's Akida chip is integrated into the ANT61 Brain™ computer, which serves as the primary intelligent control for repair and maintenance robots on the Optimus-1. Optimus-1 is Australia’s largest-ever private satellite and the first Australian commercial satellite which was planned to provide existing space infrastructure and satellites with life-extension services, inspections and assistance on-orbit. Sadly communication to the satellite was lost in May this year, 2 months after the launch. Having demonstrated what a small, determined Australian team can achieve through relentless perseverance, they immediately started work on Optimus-2 with support from the Australian Space Agency with a planned launch date of 2026. Neuromorphic chips like Akida are inherently more tolerant to hardware failures, a key consideration for the harsh conditions of space. Akida's unique on-chip learning capabilities also enable the ANT61 Brain to continuously ‘learn’ and adapt, in the space environment where it has to manipulate objects. ANT61 develops autonomous robots to avoid putting human lives at risk. They use AI-based control systems that enable robots to perform various installation tasks in unpredictable environments where remote control is very difficult. Neuromorphic computing, which is inspired by the synapses and architecture of the human brain, offers a much more efficient approach compared to traditional processors. BrainChip's Akida chip integrates this neuromorphic technology, delivering high performance at extremely low power - a critical requirement for space applications. The neuromorphic approach is mostly investigated at two levels (i) algorithmic (https://lnkd.in/dH4c5F3t) and (ii) hardware. Some application areas of neuromorphic processors in space: · Image recognition (Earth observation) · Multispectral & hyperspectral image processing (Earth observation) · Imaging radar (Synthetic Aperture Radar) · Interference detection and correction (Satcom) · Navigation Neuromorphic computing is a "spin-in" from the R&D and commercial sectors into the space industry. As space activities continue to expand, the use of energy-efficient, adaptable neuromorphic AI will be crucial to enabling faster, more intelligent space operations and exploration.

As at 30/9/24 we had 7.7 quarters of cash in the bank - almost 2 years. Cash is not an issue at all.
As we have no pressing need at all for immediate cash it appears that we are expecting a major deal before 30th June2025 which is the last day of drawing the LDA funds.
Pico and the M2 format were developed in response to clients' requests/needs. We also know for example that Tata intends driving AKIDA into its products.
We know NDA's have been in place for some time. Plenty of engagements.
With 2 new products (Pico and M.2) recently released plus our new Edge box partnerships i doubt the raise is to produce another product so soon.
IMO its more likely connected to a deal. Why else would we raise cash when there is no pressing need?

As we know from what was posted by BRN. RTX def playing with neuromorphic.



Advanced sensing
  • Our RF systems use higher-power microelectronics, increased processing power and software-defined apertures to achieve next-generation capabilities for radar, electronic warfare, communications and multifunction radio frequency applications.
  • We’re advancing electro-optical/infrared and other systems such as space-based multispectral sensors and electro-optical distributed aperture systems variants.
  • We are providing increased capability against advanced threats and countermeasures by enhancing high-bandwidth digital waveform generation, AI-enabled intelligent signal processing and advanced neuromorphic processing.
  • Our acoustic systems enable advanced mine-hunting and undersea networking capabilities through high sensitivity, directionality, multiple access and multi-mod active and passive capabilities for sonar, communications and navigation.
  • Our missile seekers counter a wide range of advanced threats through advanced processing and algorithms, all while achieving low size, weight, power and cost.

Been thinking about this as well.

One theory that I have is that they might be required to provide a financial guarantee to ensure stability throughout contractual duration. If there is a large contract of which payment is either milestone or turnkey based, they might require Brainchip to have financial capability to scale up. It would be a high risk item for the contracting company to purchase/deal with a company with unknown financial ability to support its scaling operation in the near term timeline.

If I were to contract out house building, it would be rather unpleasant if my contractor were to suddenly run out of money midway of house construction because they have to hire more people for the work. Would probably ask for a letter of financial guarantee from the bank or financial institution.

Just my wild theory and assumption.

Could be maybe buying the whole franchise business and becoming a coffee Franchisor?
How else could they explain raising $20 mill when they are already cashed up - and cashed up big?

I agree. I’m sure I read a few years back that some Tier 1 companies may be reluctant to sign a deal unless Brainchip could provide financial stability. Be a very bad investment for a tier 1 company to sign a deal with a company that wasn’t around long enough to deliver on the deal. This additional revenue raise is a good thing in my opinion 👍

Was looking at BH again and RTX searches.

This PDF came up from the Navy (NAVAIR) and appears BH would have been working on the Snap Card prior to 2023 as this update was dated July 23.

Indicates how long Dev & testing cycles can be.

Navy definitely think highly of it at that point.

Looking good.

I just found that BH were showcasing the tech at the Navy STP in April 2024 plus I can see another friend in Intellisense was also showcasing some tech.

Wonder how much interest they generated, presuming some, as the next thing we see is the commercial release by BH also identifying its use of Akida.
