The U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) awarded a $2,143,619 Cooperative Agreement under the DARPA Research and Technology Development program (CFDA 12.910) to Griffiss Institute Inc., a non-profit research organization. The award will fund research and development in neuromorphic processing, workforce development, and use-inspired research on emerging defense-relevant technologies such as cyber-physical systems, Internet of Things, unmanned aerial systems, autonomous vehicles, and robotic manufacturing. The two-year project aims to advance critical defense capabilities and develop the next generation of STEM talent through programs like internships, challenge competitions, and applied research. Griffiss Institute has previously received federal grant and contract sub-awards for related work, demonstrating its expertise in areas like neuromorphic computing and cyber-physical systems, which support the goals of this AFRL Cooperative Agreement.
