If you can post the content, why can't you also post the link? Why do we all have to start searching now?

It is normal to post links also, in every forum. In many forums, the post even gets deleted when you do not post the link to it.

I am grateful for your posts, no doubt, but it is annoying that the links are mostly missing.

Absolutely agree, it's so easy to do since the poster is on the site quoted anyway, I don't get it?

Check this out: The Neurobus website has been redesigned - and the familiar URL https://neurobus.space will now automatically forward to www.neurobus.ai

Neurobus

Lovable Generated Project

neurobus.ai

Their new motto is “Neuromorphic intelligence for autonomous systems
inspired by the human biology, built for the edge.”

While BrainChip, Intel and Prophesee - all three their partners according to the previous Neurobus website - no longer show up on the redesigned website, the team at Neurobus obviously still need suppliers of neuromorphic processors and event-based sensors for the solutions they offer.

Which brings me to the next topic, namely the brand new “Products” section, and apparently all four solutions currently offered by Neurobus can already be ordered (although there is no estimated delivery date given):

- Ground Station for Drone Detection
- Autonomous Drone Detection
- Space-based Surveillance
- Autonomous Defense Intelligence

VERY intriguing, isn’t it?!

Which begs the question, though, whether these are made-to-order solutions.
And whether “pre-order now” would have been a more realistic button than “order now”.

If not - and of course provided we are indeed involved in any of the offered solutions - wouldn’t it be high time for a joint partnership announcement or some other official announcement of a commercial arrangement? Or will watching the financials be the only way we will find out that a Neurobus customer had previously signed on the dotted line for a product that involves BrainChip technology?

Unfortunately you need to email Neurobus to “Ask for Specs”.

In my tagged 23 June post, I had referred to an interview in which CEO Florian Corgnou mentioned NeurOS, an embedded operating system that Neurobus is developing internally. Unfortunately, there is currently no further information available when you click on the above “Custom Software Stack” tile - and neither for any other of the “technology foundations” tiles.

A current job opening for an internship with Neurobus as their CEO’s “right hand” reveals two more interesting facts:

1. Neurobus are currently not only working with Airbus and CNES (which we we already knew), but also with the French Ministry of Armed Forces

and

2. Neurobus are planning an upcoming €5 million seed fundraising round.


No more mention of any current collaboration with Mercedes-Benz, though.

How Federal CTOs are Evolving Digital Strategies for Mission Success​

• by Jessica Nguyen
• August 4, 2025

Leaders from the Department of Defense and industry came together for the “Federal Executive Forum CTO’s Profiles in Excellence in Government 2025: Innovation and Emerging Technologies” webinar to discuss how federal agencies are evolving their digital strategies to support mission success. Their conversation focused on edge computing, AI, infrastructure modernization, and talent development. The discussion showed how quickly change occurs and how coordination is becoming more necessary.

The panelist of speakers included:

• Ramesh Menon, Chief Technology Officer (CTO), Defense Intelligence Agency 
• Dan DelGrosso, CTO, Defense Threat Reduction Agency
• Lance Scott, CTO, Federal Electronic Health Record Management Office, Joint Department of Defense and Veterans Affairs Office
• Lamont Copeland, Senior Director, Federal Solutions Architecture, Verizon

Using Edge AI to Reduce Decision Time

Ramesh Menon, CTO at the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), outlined how DIA is using edge AI to process information closer to where it’s collected, especially in contested environments. Menon stated, “We are leveraging edge AI and extending algorithms to the edge so we can reduce the decision support time…We are continuing to build on that success as we integrate unmanned capabilities into manned missions.

Menon also spoke about DIA’s involvement in neuromorphic computing. “DIA is a transition partner for the neuromorphic AI chip, working with USDR and AFRL,” he explained. The goal is to provide a full-stack digital infrastructure to support the administration’s new operational priorities, including the Golden Dome initiative.

“If we don’t define our requirements, have a clear roadmap, and have a clear reference architecture—it is going to be very tough for any agency,” he said, emphasizing that progress depends on people just as much as tools.


Modernizing Infrastructure for Mission Agility

Dan DelGrosso, Chief Technology Officer at the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA), shared that being prepared is the first step towards success with emerging technologies. “If we don’t modernize our infrastructure, we’re not going to be able to absorb the new technology.”

Network integration, contractor consolidation, and building a unified DevSecOps environment are DelGrosso’s team priorities. This approach focuses on alignment with mission partners and streamlining processes to accelerate delivery without compromising security.

AI to Support Clinicians

Lance Scott, CTO at the Federal Electronic Health Record Management Office (FERHM), highlighted how they are using AI to enhance care and reduce the workload for clinicians. He shared a successful use case from a military entrance processing station (MEPS). “We worked with MEPS clinicians to develop what we call the MEPS button.” With just one click, this tool allows clinicians to screen for more than 1,000 conditions. “It’s reduced their workflow times by up to 80 percent and saved them millions of dollars.”

With a major shift to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and 13 VA sites scheduled for deployment in 2026, FERHM is striking a balance between operational stability and innovation. “If we do our job right as technologists, there should be very little that’s seen by the functional users—except that it works better, faster, and it’s more efficient.”

Scott, however, cautioned against adopting technology without considering the human side. “We always ask: does this make sense? We don’t want something to go out to the field and hear, ‘Who designed this?”

Building for the Edge and Beyond

Lamont Copeland, Senior Director, Federal Solutions Architecture at Verizon discussed the infrastructure demands for edge computing, cloud, and AI. “A lot of this will not happen or take place without strong infrastructure underneath.”

Among their initiatives are government-ready SD-WAN services and long-haul fiber builds under their AI Connect program. “You’re going to see a bigger proliferation of these capabilities to the edge,” noting that drones, sensors, and other AI-enabled systems rely on both wired and wireless performance.

Additionally, Copeland emphasized the need for built-in security across evolving network environments, especially as agencies prepare for future encryption standards. He noted the growing importance of secure connectivity in wired and wireless systems, “We’re working with NIST standards to embed quantum-resistant encryption.” As workloads shift to the edge, maintaining performance, interoperability and resilience will be critical for supporting mission needs.
Aligning Talent and Technology

All the panelists emphasized that technology alone isn’t enough, mission success depends on skilled personnel, strong collaboration between industry and agencies and clear alignment with agency and administration goals. The future of federal IT will be shaped by this combination of talent, coordination, and adaptability as agencies adopt AI, modernize infrastructure, and prepare for emerging threats.

I hope that BrainChip will become huge (okay, I hope so also for my account) so that all those people leaving BRN after such a short time will truly regret it.

The second Richard had stayed with BRN for over seven years, so I can understand that he wants a change. However, the first Richard probably took the BRN job to fill the gap until he found something else. It is not always BrainChip's fault that people leave!

EMASS Emerges from Stealth to Redefine Edge AI​

ECS-DoT 22nm processor delivers always-on, milliWatt-scale local intelligence
LOS ANGELES (Sept. 16, 2025) – EMASS, a Nanoveu subsidiary emerging from stealth with next-generation semiconductor technology, has introduced the ECS-DoT, their edge AI system-on-chip (SoC). The new design enables always-on, milliWatt-scale intelligence for edge devices, eliminating the need for cloud-based computation. With this chip, EMASS is targeting the extreme edge of the network, an area occupied by compact and lightweight connected devices powered by small batteries. Application examples include medical wearables and sensor modules operating adjacent to the sensors they support.
The ECS-DoT is designed with four megabytes of on-board SRAM, enabling AI computations to run efficiently on edge and IoT devices. By processing data locally, the chip dramatically reduces latency and power consumption, opening the door for always-on intelligence in wearables, drones and predictive maintenance-dependent systems.
“We are thrilled to bring EMASS out of stealth and introduce the ECS-DoT to market, redefining what’s possible at the edge,” said Mark Goranson, CEO of EMASS. “OEMs have told us that power efficiency is the defining factor for edge AI, and ECS-DoT delivers on that promise while enabling always-on, zero-lag intelligence directly on devices.”
Compared with leading competitors, ECS-DoT operates up to 93% faster while consuming 90% less energy, all while supporting true multimodal sensor fusion on-device, eliminating the need for cloud processing.

Key ECS-DoT metric comparison:

Metric	EMASS ECS-DoT	Competitor A	Competitor B
Power per Inference	0.1-5 mW	5-100 mW	30-150 mW
Latency (ms)	<10	10-15	10-100
Energy per Inference	1-10 µJ	30-150 µJ	100-2,000 µJ
On-Device Memory	Up to 2MB SRAM + 2MB MRAM/RRAM	Up to 1MB SRAM	2MB SRAM with optional 2MB MRAM
Multimodal Sensor Fusion	Yes, milliwatt-scale	Limited	Limited
Always-On Viable?	Yes	No	No
