Data is an essential warfighting tool. Battlefield sensors generate significant amounts of data that must be processed and analyzed, increasingly at the point of ingestion – at the edge. The hardware needed to accomplish this processing is getting smaller, more powerful, and requires enhanced thermal management capabilities. Today’s solutions are too large, heavy, maintenance-heavy, and under-performing for these advanced processors – especially in hot, tactical edge environments. The goal of this Phase I program is to identify the assets that are limited by thermal management challenges and connect them with advanced fan-less processor cooling technology to enable the next-generation of computing for AI, video analysis, and signal processing.
