EXTREME COMPUTING WITH LIGHT, LOW POWER, AND SMALL EQUIPMENT (ECLIPSE)

"Advanced Optical Systems, Inc. (AOS) has developed optical correlators with the world?s highest data throughput, lowest cost, lowest power consumption, and smallest volume. We are currently developing a line of optical processors called the AdvancedOptical Correlator (AOC), which are already on the verge of meeting Navy requirements. In this proposal we propose an approach, that will not only meet the near-term goals but also has the potential for dramatically crashing though volume and power goalswhile dramatically increasing mission performance. The Government will be the early adopter for high throughput, low power, and low volume computing. With the current national thrust on anti-terrorism there is no doubt that markets in the areas ofrecognizance and security will expand, especially for UAVs and space platforms. During Phase I, at corporate expense we will start market research on these and other potential products."
