Objective Summary

Develop, integrate, and demonstrate a low-SWaP-C neuromorphic IR sensor to support celestial navigation to enable position and navigation of sUAS in a Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) denied environment in day and nighttime for world-wide operations. The desired system should allow an autonomous aircraft to establish a persistent machine representation of an area, recognize operationally meaningful changes, and communicate primarily what changed rather than continuously transmitting full-motion imagery or raw sensor data.

The full objective, description, Phase I, II and III requirements and evaluation criteria are in the official topic on DSIP.
