- The situation
- A drone whose inference has to happen on board. Bandwidth is narrow, latency is long, and the link may be jammed or gone, so a dependence on the cloud is not a limitation. It is a vulnerability.
- What exists
- A neuromorphic-powered drone demonstration, completed for a defence counterparty.
- Where it stands
- A demonstration, not a paid engagement, and presented as such. What it establishes is field performance in the one domain where on-board inference is mandatory, and readiness for that specific integration. Detail is subject to the counterparty’s consent and to export classification.
One pass, and what it sends home
