On January 9th, Brainchip Holdings Ltd., the world’s first commercial producer of neuromorphic IP and AI chips and a renowned provider of high performance, ultra-power artificial intelligence tech, revealed that Information System Labs (ISL) has joined its early access program to develop an AI-based radar research solution for the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) and that this solution will be based on ISL’s Akida™ neural networking processor.
Information System Laboratories, Inc. is an employee-owned tech development organization that performs complex analysis and expert research, top-notch specialty fabrication, advanced hardware development and design, and system and software engineering for its customers across the globe. The corporation is specialized in the areas of advanced radar systems, cyber security, energy independence, tracking and surveillance, undersea tech, space exploration, and advanced signal processing. After joining the Early Access Program by Brainchip, ISL can evaluate boards with specialized engineering resources, hardware and software support, and the Akida device.
As part of Brainchip’s EAP, we’ve had the opportunity to evaluate firsthand the capabilities that Akida provides to the AI ecosystem."
Jamie Bergin, Senior VP, Manager of Research, Development and Engineering Solutions Division at ISL.
ISL has decided to use Akida and Edge-based learning as a tool to incorporate into their portfolio of research engineering and engineering solutions in large part due to our innovative capabilities and production-ready status that provides go-to-market advantages. We are pleased to be included as the AI- and Edge-based learning component of ISL’s research sponsored by AFRL. We feel that the combination of technologies will help expedite its deployment into the field.”
Sean Hehir, BrainChip CEO.
Akida is now available to license as IP and for orders for production release in Silicon. At its core, there is enabling sensory processing for apps in Beneficial AI and other apps like smart homes, smart transportation, smart cities, and smart healthcare.
