Auto-Adaptive Process Implemented in IBM Cell Architecture

The objective of this SBIR Topic is to develop innovative technologies to improve sensor persistence and reduce communication requirements for remote sensor systems. During the Phase II effort, Brainlike's general purpose smart sensing process will be implemented within the IBM Cell Broadband Engine Architecture (CBEA). The IBM CBEA is a flexible, powerful and relatively inexpensive hardware platform. Implementing the Brainlike ProcessorT in IBM's CBEA will allow for low cost delivery of the process into other hardware platforms under a variety of Phase III efforts. Current platforms of interest are SURTASS, Whale Search Radar, AEER, and JTRS among others. As part of the proposed effort, the system will be delivered to the Navy in the form of a demonstration, simulation, and prototype. Doing so will allow the Navy to research and evaluate its potential for a variety of other remote sensing applications.
