Btw… don’t get a heart attack when you see announcement coming in….. it’s a speeding ticket… you read it first on THE STOCK EXCHANGE

I can confirm Steven is leaving because he replied to a job post written by a mate, that was way below his pay rate, with the words ‘I’m interested’. Tony Lewis is also leaving because he liked a Nvidia post, and Tony Dawes is clearly leaving because he logged onto LinkedIn two days in a row.

in that case I can confirm that you no longer drink beer as you have no longer posted beer pics

Also in that case, I can see the market is responding positive on this information

Or will we see a dump after this important insider information??

I wonder if any our neuromorphic radar signaling processing will be utilized on this big spy balloon!

Raytheon, Nine Others Compete for US Army’s $4.2B Tethered Spy Balloon Deal​

The US Army has selected 10 defense firms to compete for a $4.2-billion program to develop a next-generation, lighter-than-air surveillance balloon.
Raytheon, QinetiQ, Skyship Services, Advanced Technology Systems, and Thunderbolt have been named among the participants in the 10-year initiative, known as the Persistent Surveillance System – Tethered (PSS-T).
They will be joined by Leidos, Elevated Technologies, Mission Solutions Group, TCOM, and Tyonek Technical Services, each bringing specialized capabilities in aerostat design, integration, and mission support.
The army first issued a solicitation for PSS-T in mid-2024, seeking industry solutions to enhance persistent intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities amid evolving geopolitical threats.
A total of 10 bids were submitted for the cost-plus-fixed-fee contract.

Advanced Detection Capability​

The PSS-T is envisioned as a long-endurance, multi-sensor surveillance platform capable of delivering 360-degree detection, tracking, and targeting data.
Designed to operate at altitudes up to 15,000 feet (4,572 meters), the system will provide near-continuous coverage in support of joint and multinational operations.
It will be equipped with advanced electro-optical/infrared sensors and high-resolution radar to monitor vast areas in real time, including detecting low-observable platforms like stealth aircraft.
The PSS-T aims to close critical gaps in aerial surveillance, particularly in the “near-space” zone exploited by adversaries in recent years.
“As demand signals continue to increase, aerostat systems will be key in delivering persistent capabilities worldwide,” said Lareina Adams, an official from the Program Executive Office Intelligence, Electronic Warfare & Sensors.

Delivering on Strategic Priorities​

The initiative follows heightened urgency around ISR modernization after the February 2023 Chinese high-altitude balloon incursion, which overflew Malmstrom Air Force Base in Montana.
The incident was widely regarded as a “national security wake-up call,” with reports indicating the balloon collected critical intelligence before it was neutralized.
In response, the US Army signaled as early as December 2023 its intent to launch a high-altitude ISR development program in 2025, an effort now materializing through PSS-T.
Once fielded, the PSS-T is expected to dramatically improve the army’s ability to detect, assess, and respond to aerial threats with greater speed and precision.

Or maybe they will use our technology implemented in another spy balloon, to spy this spy balloon ?? this would be crazy though

“Our customers”

“Our next step may or may not be put this on a chip”

“..what’s gonna happen with this?……Intelligence in every device around you”

so, what’s going on here folks???

Hi 7,

You know I'm quite surprised that Alf's comment didn't prompt a little more discussion than it actually did.

It's a bit like me telling everyone that "I might get out of bed tomorrow morning, but then again I might not".

Not really sure what to make of it?

I was just reflecting on what Tony was saying in this video about being able to have intelligence in any device around you, running at extremely low power.

And, I don't know why I never thought about this before, but I started to imagine all my kitchen appliances being able to talk to one another.

Just imagine if your kettle said to your toaster "You're smoking hot!".

And your toaster replied "Why thank you!"

Then your kettle said "No. I mean you are actually smoking. I mean you're literally on fire!!!"

And then once you have successfully smothered the fire engulfing half of your kitchen, you could start a philosophical debate with your fridge about whether existentialism is less depressing, conceptually speaking, than nihilism.

BrainChip's collaboration with defense firm ARQUIMEA, under the guise of enhancing ocean safety, likely serves as a front for developing military-grade AI surveillance. Given ARQUIMEA's defense focus and the dual-use nature of Akida's neuromorphic processor, it's plausible this technology is intended for deployment in conflict zones like Ukraine.

Note: This perspective is speculative and not based on confirmed evidence.

I was just reflecting on what Tony was saying in this video about being able to have intelligent devices all around you, running at low power.

And, I don't know why I never thought about this before, but I started to imagine all my kitchen appliances being able to talk to one another.

Just imagine if your kettle said to your toaster "You're smoking hot!".

And the toaster replied "Why thank you!"

Brainchip needs to provide AI agent capabilities to get those things working.

what will happen when the pot calls the kettle black? I can just see the merry go round on that one, the kettle will say hey pot you started it and the pot will say Mate if you saw the fire you should have put it out, (in the meantime your whole kitchen is on fire lol)
6pm NEWS - A.I. DESTROYS KITCHEN, INVESTIGATION IS BEING MADE IF IT WAS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE KETTLE OR THE POT, WE ARE SIFTING THROUGH THE ASHES.

One thing is for sure the house SHOULD have been equipped with an AKIDA SMOKE DETECTOR and all of this would have been avoided!

Pretty sure we are all on silly easter season right now. lol

There's definitely a pattern of this stock being pumped just before a public holiday/long weekend. Has anyone else noticed this?

There's definitely a pattern of this stock being pumped just before a public holiday/long weekend. Has anyone else noticed this?

And coming up to the AGM.
But what to do about it?
The traders will have their fun and good for them.
The problem is the FOMO.
We all expect and hope for a rerate at some stage.
We are certainly well and truly due.
Is this the beginning of that?
Or just another P & D?
I've been in for the long haul and still have belief in our potential to enjoy a share price in the dollars rather then mere cents.

I strongly believe in the potential of another spike eclipsing previous highs accompanying the "right" kind of news.
Even though many have come and gone over the years, I still think there are lots of eyes and sentiment around BrainChip, and lots of dollars that will be chanced when we get the announcements we've all been hanging out for.

Bring It, BrainChip.
