I'm sure @Yak52 will correct me, but there was a de Havilland Twin Otter propeller aircraft used in regional airlines 40 years or so ago."Soaring Otter"... Who comes up with these names?

Soaring Otter will be a one step, Closed BAA to advance, evaluate and mature Air Force autonomy capabilities, leveraging the latest advancements in both the fundamental science of autonomy and Machine Learning (ML) and the most modern computing technologies designed to support them.
The Air Force (AF) is increasingly employing the science of autonomy to solve complex problems related to global persistent awareness, resilient information sharing, and rapid decision making. Current autonomy approaches include a growing spectrum of techniques ranging from the well-understood to the truly novel: ML, Artificial Intelligence (AI), many varieties of Neural Networks, Neuromorphic Computing, Data Exploitation and others. Together with the rapid progress of autonomy algorithms and methodologies is the equally rapid progress of hardware and software designed to support the efficient execution of autonomy. These computing solutions bring new capabilities, but also new challenges, including how best to develop applications with them, and how to integrate them into larger systems. The application space for autonomy is rapidly growing, with critical technologies like target identification and recognition, Positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT) and Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) route planning. Finally, how best to integrate and test these new solutions within reasonable constraints of cost and risk is still not well understood, and there is need for a well-defined progression from lab prototype, through realistic System Integration Lab (SIL) testing, finally through field and flight testing for Technology Readiness Level (TRL) increase.
The scope includes the following seven main topic areas:
Autonomy Development and Testing: Develop novel approaches to solving autonomy problems using the latest techniques in ML, neural networks, AI and other fields. Constantly seek to leverage the newest developments from both government and industry; mature existing approaches toward greater levels of robustness and determine early what is required for the eventual successful transition of these autonomy technologies to the warfighter.
Evaluation of Autonomy Capabilities: Provide neutral 3rd party evaluation of algorithms from Government, Academia and Industry. Provide unbiased analysis of alternatives for algorithms being produced by the Government, Industry and Academia to provide actionable information to AFRL about which algorithms are performing best against objective criteria, as well as determine which solutions are most ready for maturation and integration into systems. Design and perform trade studies to identify best-of-breed solutions and make recommendations to the Government for their application and further maturation.
Novel Computing Approaches: This area will focus on compact computing solutions that push processing to the edge for real or near real time solutions to support the warfighter. Assess the latest emerging computing architectures from government and industry, together with the latest approaches to efficiently developing applications using these technologies.
New Application Spaces: Evaluate emerging Air Force priorities and user requirements, to determine where autonomy can bring the greatest benefit, focusing on Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR).
Open System Architectures for Autonomy: Assess existing and emerging Open System Architectures (OSAs) as fundamental elements of future autonomous systems.
Autonomy Technology Integration and Testing: Plan and execute paths by which new autonomy technologies can be rapidly integrated into larger systems for lab, SIL and field/flight testing.
Maturing System Support: Plan and execute technology transition and system transition activities for operational partners. System deployment support and participation, system integration, testing, and assessment support activities.
Additionally, this BAA will address the issues both individually and collectively. No R&D conducted under this program will be done in isolation, but rather in full consideration of how the new technologies can progress toward full integration with large, complex systems, ready to transition to support of the warfighter.

Look as far as I’m aware the Synsense tech is not multimodal - it is not capable of sensor fusion, therefore Akida will be what everyone will eventually want because if you listen to Zach Shelby in that presentation sensor fusion makes Edge Ai more accurate and reliable. I think also PVDM may have previously discounted the Synsense tech as too slow when compared to Akida. AIMO. Akida Ubiquitous.

They have an accelerator called Occula that is fabricated in 28nm & uses 2.5 watts running at 71 fps for head tracking. The chip can also track limbs at up to 169 fps but that exhausts its capacity.Bummer... Had to put the cork back inside the bottle because Seeing Machines appear to have teamed up with Ambarella.

Nviso driver monitoring apps running AKIDA on 28nm can do head tracking, eye tracking and passenger monitoring at up to 1,000 fps but demonstrates all these functions at 60 fps and if needed to run at 1,000 fps would use less than 1 watt.
In addition the AKIDA neural fabric is not exhausted and can have further apps added for driver health monitoring including blood pressure and other systems.
Tim Llewellyn stated that AKIDA was the only semiconductor powerful enough to accommodate all Nviso’s apps.

Hey FF,
I was chatting to Tim @ the NVISO demo they had running in the Rocks. Apparently, the demonstration in the car was only running the emotion recognition network on the Akida chip. It only required 5 nodes to run it on the Akida chip. The other networks/features will still need to be ported over to the Akida device but it was stated it was going to be a very quick process.
So the 1000 FPS is simply the emotion recognition functionality and you can understand why it was able to reach that extreme FPS due to the smallish footprint (5 nodes) on the device.
I will be interested to see the performance and node requirements when the full gamut of apps are operating on the device

Great find but isn't that guy Zac Shelby?I guess this has been discussed. The Renesas guy on the video suggests Akida will be use on the new Prophesee camera.
Is he talking about this mob:

Dolci, I understand the 100+ number to include international variants of our patents

I suppose it is a question of whether or not to believe Peter van der Made when he said in answer to a question during the AGM that they had 50 patent applications almost ready for filing.
As it was a statement made during the AGM I suppose those who do not believe this to be possible could seek written clarification from the company.

From the sound of that, it could be entering into the PCT National Phase for, eg, 5 patents in 10 countries.
