In particular, DARPA is interested in understanding the development of hardware-in-the-loop testing of neuromorphic (event-driven) systems especially as related to testing large field of view, low latency, event-driven infrared sensors. Development of novel Testing Hardware for Event BasEd Systems (THEBES) equipment specifically designed for the testing of large field of view, low latency, event-driven sensors including those under development by the DARPA Fast Event-based Neuromorphic Camera and Electronics (FENCE) program. The hardware architecture should be designed such that the hardware can be used for all electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) wavelength ranges.

The developed framework should encompass single, cross and multi-domain assets, as well as multiple time and spatial scales for multi-agent coordination. This effort will demonstrate multiagent control models for resource management and coordination of multiple autonomous sensor platforms, accounting for system constraints such as stored energy and varying environmental conditions that can affect sensor range or platform performance and adaptive target behavior. In addition, TARMAC will evaluate a range of environmental effects on the system through topological models for maneuverability and sensing constraints.

In particular, DARPA is interested in understanding the feasibility of developing a low-cost unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that can be easily reconfigured for a variety of missions and payloads. Future warfare will use multiple swarms of small autonomous drones or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in combat. These drones will be launched from the ground and/or air, executing a variety of single use missions. They may be employed in large numbers ranging from thousands to tens of thousands of units, enabling them to be a great force multiplier. Unlike today’s battlefield drones, these drones should be designed and developed from the ground up to be single use at the lowest price point achievable given the required performance and reliability. Likewise, the logistics footprint should be minimized since the intent is not to recover and refurbish the drones. The objective of this SBIR effort is to design and develop a single use, inexpensive, reliable, high-performance drone that can accept different modular payloads, fly long distances, loiter, and conduct a variety of missions.
