AI Overview
The Navy seeks an ultra-compact, low-power computational engine (under 1 lb, 150W) that can process high-bandwidth radio frequency sensor data in real-time for small unmanned platforms. This technology enables rapid RF detection and classification at the tactical edge where network constraints make onboard processing critical.

Key Details
Official Description
Today’s electronic processing technology is not keeping pace with the DOW’s computational demands. Growing networks of new higher resolution and higher fidelity sensors yield vast quantities of data, and deep neural networks are being deployed to reduce these data streams to actionable information for the warfighter. Concurrently, the constraints imposed by network capacity, latency, and data security are driving this sensor processing to the tactical and network edge where the data is collected...

Novel Computing for Streaming Radio Frequency in Low Size, Weight and Power Environments
Q1 and Q2 received new answers: Q1 now specifies ≥2 GHz instantaneous bandwidth requirement with proposer-defined SINAD; Q2 clarifies digital 2GHz input, 5 Gig samples/sec sampling rate, and ≥12 ENOB requirement. Q3 answer remained unchanged.
Novel Computing for Streaming Radio Frequency in Low Size, Weight and Power Environments
Added 2 new Q&As on computational engine chip specifications: SINAD and ENOB performance expectations for RF sensors. Original Q&A on 3x3 size/weight restrictions renumbered from Q1 to Q3 with same answer.

Novel Computing for Streaming Radio Frequency in Low Size, Weight and Power Environments
Added answer to Q1 clarifying that the 1 lb and 3mm restrictions apply to the complete integrated system (chip + infrastructure + I/O + memory + computational devices), not just the die. Answer specifies intended applications (Group 1/2 UASs, buoys <3" diameter) and security requirements (zeroization, data-at-rest encryption).
