AURA Technologies, LLC SBIR Phase I Award, June 2020

We propose to apply AURAnet™, a ruggedized, highly-modular, reconfigurable-architecture input/output (I/O) and computing platform already under development that leverages modern, Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) and other hardware, software and algorithmic approaches (including Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning (AI/ML)) while running on a standard, ruggedized Intel/PCIe server platform. AURAnet™’s development includes metrics for assessing obsolescence risk and for characterizing the effort and cost of transitioning legacy hardware products to reconfigurable computing platforms.
