MemComputing Wins Air Force SBIR Contracts

San Diego-based high performance computing (HPC) technology developer MemComputing says it has received two, Air Force Phase I Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contracts. Size of the contracts were not announced. According to the company, one of the contracts includes work to compute the optimal motion planning for a satellite with a robotic arm to capture a tumbling object in space, while also minimizing the energy required. The second contract focuses on a "neural network" to enhance signals intelligence (SIGINT) capabilities for the Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC). MemComputing is led by CEO John Beane.
