BrainChip Holdings Ltd a leading provider of ultra-low power, high performance artificial intelligence technology and the world’s first commercial producer of neuromorphic AI chips and IP, today announced that Information Systems Laboratories, Inc. (ISL) is developing an AI-based radar research solution for the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) based on its Akida™ neural networking processor.

ISL is an employee-owned technology development corporation that performs expert research and complex analysis, software and systems engineering, advanced hardware design and development, and high-quality specialty fabrication for a variety of customers worldwide. ISL specializes in the areas of advanced signal processing, space exploration, undersea technologies, surveillance and tracking, cyber security, advanced radar systems, and energy independence. As a member of BrainChip’s Early Access Program, ISL will be able to evaluate boards with the Akida device, software and hardware support and dedicated engineering resources.
“As part of BrainChip’s EAP, we’ve had the opportunity to evaluate firsthand the capabilities that Akida provides to the AI ecosystem,” said Jamie Bergin, Senior VP, Manager of Research, Development and Engineering Solutions Division at ISL.
BrainChip brings AI to the edge in a way that existing technologies are not capable. The Akida processor is ultra-low power with high performance, supporting the growth of edge AI technology by using a neuromorphic architecture, a type of artificial intelligence that is inspired by the biology of the human brain. Devices currently available to BrainChip’s EAP customers provide partners with capabilities to realize significant gains in power consumption, design flexibility and true learning at the Edge."
During the last two years Dr. Guerci and others from ISL have posted comments on their LinkedIn accounts complementary of Brainchip's AKIDA technology and on the SBIR website the joint project with the US Air Force Research Laboratory has been progressing. Dr. Guerci is acknowledged often as being at the forefront of research world wide into the use of Cognitive Radar.
The obvious thing that needs to be taken away by an investor is that a postage stamp size semiconductor capable of what Dr. Guerci describes in a military UAV must be part of the equation for every automobile maker looking to develop EV's where preserving as much power as possible for the driving wheels is critical to providing consumers with adequate driving range. Size, weight and Power are critical considerations.
Suffice to say the use of AKIDA technology for these reasons is also obligatory for Robotics and UAVs in agriculture, medicine and industry.
