About this award
Mentium Technologies Inc. was awarded a $181,000 firm fixed-price contract by a civilian federal agency under the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program Phase III Action. The contract, designated E014042, is set aside for total small business and focuses on developing radiation-hardened in-memory computing technology for space applications. Work will be performed in Santa Barbara, California, with an ultimate completion date of June 10, 2022, following the award date of September 9, 2020. This Phase III effort represents the commercialization phase of the SBIR program, building on Mentium Technologies' prior Phase II development work in neuromorphic computing for space and radiative environments.
Mentium Technologies specializes in advanced artificial intelligence and neuromorphic computing solutions designed for edge computing applications requiring ultra-low power consumption. The company has established a track record with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) through multiple SBIR awards, including a $4.6 million Phase II contract to develop neuromorphic chips capable of sensing and decision-making on the lunar surface. This Phase III contract represents continued investment in the company's technology to transition radiation-hardened in-memory computing solutions from research and development into practical space-based applications, leveraging neuromorphic architectures that deliver high-capacity artificial intelligence capabilities in harsh radiation environments while maintaining minimal power requirements.
