Parallax Advanced Research and the Future of Neuromorphic Artificial Intelligence in Electronic Warfare​

Published on
Apr 29, 2025

The convergence of artificial intelligence and defense technologies is poised to redefine the future of electronic warfare (EW). This shift, driven by third-generation AI techniques like spiking neural networks (SNN) and neuromorphic research, represents a critical step forward in equipping the U.S. military with innovative and adaptable solutions. We spoke with Dr. Steven Harbour, Parallax Advanced Research director of AI Hardware Research and a leading expert in neuromorphic research, to explore how his team is advancing AI capabilities and addressing emerging challenges in defense.

Dufford, Senior Program Manager, SwRI; Mr. David A. Brown, Institute Engineer; and Director AI Hardware Research and Neuromorphic Center of Excellence, Parallax; Dr. Steven D. Harbour​

​

Exploring AI’s Next Frontier​

Traditional AI excels in tasks it has been trained on, demonstrating precision in recognizing familiar patterns and processing expected queries. However, Harbour highlights a significant limitation: AI's brittleness when confronted with the unexpected.



Humans, on the other hand, adapt to the unknown through cognitive problem-solving, a capability that AI systems must emulate to address future challenges effectively.

SNNs, inspired by the human brain’s functionality, offer a promising solution. Unlike traditional feedforward neural networks rooted in inferential statistics, SNNs excel in rapid decision-making under uncertainty, making them particularly suited for dynamic environments like electronic warfare.

​

Scaling Neuromorphic Systems​

Parallax is at the forefront of advancing third-generation AI algorithms, partnering with Intel and Brainchip to develop scalable neuromorphic hardware.



In terms of deployment, neuromorphic processors can be integrated into existing electronic countermeasure (ECM) pods, widely used in both Air Force and Navy operations. These pods, which are part of strike packages including crewed and uncrewed aircraft, offer a clear pathway for fielding these advanced systems across the Department of Defense (DoD).

​

The Role of Partnerships in Shaping AI Research​

Collaboration plays a pivotal role in advancing neuromorphic research. Parallax, headquartered in Dayton, Ohio, benefits from proximity to leading institutions like the University of Dayton and the University of Cincinnati. Harbour’s connections with researchers like Professors Dr. Tarek Taha, Dr. Chris Yakopcic, and Dr. Vijayan K. Asari University of Dayton and Dr. Kelly Cohen an Endowed Chair and Lab Director at the University of Cincinnati have led to innovative projects, including combining “fuzzy” logic with Neuromorphic SNNs to enhance AI decision-making.

Parallax’s independent research efforts are further bolstered by partnerships with institutions like Intel and Brainchip, ensuring access to cutting-edge neuromorphic technologies. These collaborations not only drive technological innovation but also foster a thriving research ecosystem essential for addressing the unique challenges of EW.

Evolving Applications in Defense Technologies​

Over the next few years, an AFLCMC initiative will focus on developing and deploying third-generation AI algorithms on neuromorphic platforms. According to Harbour, the initiative aims to create “fieldable systems that can operate effectively in air, sea, land, and space environments.” This vision extends to supporting broader DoD efforts, including AFRL’s test facilities and ongoing collaboration with Southwest Research Institute.

The adaptability of these systems will be critical for countering emerging threats. Harbour envisions a future where AI-powered EW solutions can address the unknown, enhancing situation awareness and enabling rapid response in high-stakes scenarios.

​

AI and the Future of EW​

As neuromorphic research progresses, its impact on EW solutions for the U.S. military is undeniable. From enhancing strike packages to integrating AI into naval, land, and space operations, the potential applications are vast. Harbour emphasizes the importance of continued innovation and collaboration:



Through its pioneering work in AI and defense technologies, Parallax is shaping a future where adaptability and innovation are the cornerstones of national security. By bridging the gap between academic research and practical deployment, the team is ensuring that the U.S. military remains at the cutting edge of electronic warfare capabilities.

The bearded gentleman next to Steve Harbour is his former colleague David Brown from Southwest Research Institute.

Last June I shared an article by him titled “Neuromorphic Computing for Cognitive Electronic Warfare”, which is worth reposting, although it doesn’t mention Akida:

https://thestockexchange.com.au/threads/brn-discussion-ongoing.1/post-427978

P.S.: I just noticed I had misspelled his name as Dan Brown at the time - while illuminating, the article does not contain any references to the Illuminati!

 

[Krustor]

Absolutely. A total disaster. There was no need for "the board to argue in public" as Guzzi tries to make out.

Any board member could have simply said "Antonio, sorry, I think we should take a moment to check the ASX announcement before we continue"... that simple....

Would you please do us all a favor?

Please disappear until April 2026 again. Then the next AGM will happen soon again and you can start your next try hating the BOD again.

I am sick of reading your posts here. Same shit again and again.

Thank you and cu in 11 month again. Now back to topic please

Personally I thought that was one of the most promising AGMs.
Sean stood up and answered some very tough questions and gave honest answers. I appreciate his honesty that there won't be any royalties this year despite the effort that has been put in place.
I also love the way Antonio defended the company and BOD. Great to see his raw emotion comes to play when really needed.
Overall, I am very happy to wait until end of 2027/28 to see the progress that Sean is making and hopefully seeing some royalties from 2034/35.
It is now just a waiting game really. Akida everywhere!
Not advice as always.

I bet Brainchip and ISL share the measuring equipment. If you have good eyes, you can clearly see the Brainchip logo on the back!

 

[Labsy]

It's definitely been a long road but I feel now has never been a better time to invest in this little rocket ship..... Slow steady increase in SP from now onwards..... Dollar party around the corner

 

[SERA2g]

Incorrect.

I asked the question about whether the $9m is net of costs or gross revenue. My question couldn't have been more clear but I am an accountant and Antonio is not.

I expected him to direct the question to Ken but he chose not too which then resulted in the question having to be repeated so he could understand.

He gave the example that if they had sales of $2m and had direct costs of $1.9m then it would count as $100k in bookings.

This is what we as shareholders want because bookings being gross revenue means $9m in revenue is all that is required and it's therefore lot easier for Sean to get his RSU's and means lower revenue outcome.

If it's based on net then revenue will need to be higher than $9m, and depending on gross margins, could need to be several million higher. In the case of the AFRL contract, it was $1.8m revenue and $800k in subcontractor costs, meaning a gross profit of $1m and gross profit margin of 44.44%

If every deal was based on the same margin they'd need $16.2m in bookings to meet $9m in gross profit and therefore the bookings target.

The only thing I would note is that I would assume most of our deals will probably just have a contract sale amount that is both the gross and net amount. AFRL contract is as far as I'm aware the first one where we had the on cost of a subcontractor to help deliver the project, so it would be misleading to say we need $16.2m to get the $9m, but you get the picture.

Last thing I'd want to happen is they win a $9m contract, pay Sean his RSU's and then we have to fork out (using 44.44% margin) $4m in subcontractor fees. I would be livid if the true value of the deal was only $5m to Brainchip yet Sean's targets were considered met.

Good question on the currency, I didn't think to ask that but would assume USD. If I remember tomorrow I will ask Ken.

@Cardpro Ken has responded to my email and confirmed the $9m booking target is USD.

Public forum mate, and no I will continue to post here as long as these idiots are not doing the right thing by shareholders.

If you don't like it, move on or block me,

I will continue to post as much as I like....deal with it however you please.

If you don't understand what is going on here, or choose to ignore it, that's your choice. But I will continue to call it out.

Have a lovely day Krustor....

Thanks!

Wow... considering the revenues from the past couple of years, that goal is certainly quite ambitious... I truely hope Sean gets them!!

Agree, business wise it was very promising. All the 'he said/she said' carry on is just a smoke screen from the traction that we are gaining.
Many building early-stage companies have a bit of fire and brimestone at AGM's.
Best to keep or eyre on the business side of things.
