About this award

Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency awarded a definitive contract to Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation on June 13, 2021, for development and demonstration of a low-latency, low-power event-based neuromorphic camera and signal processing algorithms, with a ceiling value of $18.981699 million and ultimate completion date of January 31, 2027.

Work is performed in Linthicum Heights, Maryland. The originating solicitation, posted October 2, 2020, requested proposals under the Fast Event-Based Neuromorphic Camera and Electronics program to develop asynchronous readout integrated circuits and low-power processing layers for an integrated sensor system, with proposers required to hold or partner with organizations holding SECRET clearances and accredited facilities for potential classified development. The solicitation anticipated multiple awards over 48 months with total program funding of $51.5 million across NAICS 541712 (Research and Development in Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences) and PSC R425 (Cameras, Television).

Contract pricing is cost-plus-fixed-fee. Subcontractors include The Leland Stanford Junior University, Padova Technologies Inc. (woman-owned small business and SBA-certified HUBZone firm), Nhanced Semiconductors Inc., American IR Solutions LLC, Golden Altos Corporation, and Qmagiq LLC (small business specializing in infrared imaging technologies).

Description

Fast event-based neuromorphic camera and electronics (FENCE) aims to develop and demonstrate a low latency, low power, event-based camera and a new class of signal processing and learning algorithms that enable intelligent sensors.
