AFRL Requests White Papers for New Spaceflight Tech Research Topic Area

The Air Force Research Laboratory’s Space Vehicle Directorate has released a call for proposals for a topic area under a two-phase procurement effort to experiment with spaceflight systems and related signal, energy and transportation equipment.

The Space Technology Advanced Research – Fast-tracking Innovative Software and Hardware topic area aims to develop and demonstrate Compute-in-Memory architectures to enhance processing capability for future defense and intelligence systems, according to a SAM.gov notice posted Tuesday.

INTREPID, short for INTelligent-automation through Revolutionary Edge Processing for IC and Defense applications, seeks to create a radiation-tolerant, low power and low latency artificial intelligence-enabling CIM approach that could support multidomain operations.

The effort will investigate the use of emerging volatile and non-volatile memory devices and neuromorphic computing architectures.

White papers are due Dec. 8 and requests for proposals will be sent to selected offerors.
