The Air Force Research Laboratory's Space Vehicles Directorate has issued a request for proposals for an area as part of a two-phase procurement effort to experiment with spaceflight systems and signaling equipment, associated energy and transport.
THE Advanced Research in Space Technology – Accelerated Innovative Software and Hardware The topic area aims to develop and demonstrate in-memory computing architectures to improve the processing capability of future defense and intelligence systems, according to a SAM.gov advisory published Tuesday.
INTREPID, short for INTelligent-automation through Revolutionary Edge Processing for IC and Defense applications, seeks to create a radiation-tolerant, low-power, low-latency CIM approach that enables artificial intelligence and can support multi-domain operations.
The effort will investigate the use of novel volatile and non-volatile memory devices and neuromorphic computing architectures.
The white papers are due to be published on December 8 and requests for proposals will be sent to selected bidders.
