Neuromorphic Hardware

Objective: Realize next-generation neuromorphic technology to enable continuous adaptation and self-optimization to maintain overmatch in Electronic Warfare (EW) and cyber-contested domains. Description: The Missile Defense Agency (MDA) seeks to leverage neuromorphic technology to maximize performance and efficiency for terrestrial and space applications. Neuromorphic processing supports multiple applications that advance the Missile Defense System, including distributed sensing and real-time learning for arbitrary waveform generation. In highly contested environments, autonomously adaptive arbitrary waveform generation supports superiority in the radio frequency domain. The communication throughput and edge processing required for distributed sensing would be realized with the low latency and high throughput inherent to neuromorphic technology.
