US Army Evaluates Edge AI Flight Computer for Interceptor Modernization
Palladyne AI’s edge AI flight computer, BRAIN, has been selected as a finalist in the US Army FUZE xTech|Apex Intercept competition, which aims to accelerate low-cost interceptor and fire-control capabilities. The selection allows Palladyne AI to demonstrate BRAIN’s capabilities to US Army and Department of War evaluators. Previously announced BRAIN orders total $2.6 million, with $2.3 million supporting a low-cost kinetic counter-UAS interceptor system. This development was first reported by Unknown Source.
