Applied research since 2013 Quantum Ventura

Applied research forfederal programs.

Twelve years building what the Department of Defense and the Department of Energy ask for and cannot buy. Machine learning, cybersecurity, hyperspectral imaging, synthetic aperture radar, signal processing, metamaterials and hypersonics.

What we do

Nine fields. Thirteen federal programs.

Federal program offices bring us problems that have no answer yet. The work spans radar and signal processing, machine learning, cybersecurity and materials — find an answer, then engineer it into something that survives contact with the real world. In government work you cannot be a single-focused company.

Flagship product

CyberNeuro-RT

Real-time network defense on a hybrid deep learning engine, deployable on CPU, GPU or low-power neuromorphic silicon.

A second layer of defense that runs alongside the tools already in place, built to reduce the likelihood of an intrusion succeeding and to surface the ones that do sooner.

The record

Thirteen federal programs, twelve years.

Major programs running with the Navy, the Air Force, DARPA, the Missile Defense Agency, Homeland Security and the Department of Energy, alongside Lockheed Martin and the national laboratories.

DOE Electrochemical recycling of electronic constituents of value STTR II-A TRL 6

Recovers gold, copper and other constituents of value from electronic waste electrochemically and at room temperature. 25% higher recovery, 75% less chemical reagent, 30% lower water and electrical cost, and no toxic emissions. Commercialised as E-RECOV.

Idaho National Lab · Colt Refining

NAVY Real-time synthetic aperture radar simulator SBIR II TRL 5

A simulator that generates synthetic aperture radar imagery in real time, so detection and classification models can be trained and evaluated against scenarios that are impractical or too expensive to fly.

Lockheed Martin · Dr. Andrew Willis

DOE HPC-scale cyber-threat detection using neuromorphic processing SBIR II TRL 4

The programme CyberNeuro-RT came out of. A hybrid supervised and unsupervised deep learning ensemble for network intrusion detection, ported to neuromorphic silicon so inference runs at a fraction of the power a GPU needs.

Pennsylvania State University

NAVY Source-code vulnerability detection SBIR TRL 4

Static and learned analysis of source repositories to surface exploitable defects before code ships, trained against mission-critical codebases. Commercialised as CNRT CodeLens.

Lockheed Martin · U. Wisconsin–Madison

NAVY Hyperspectral image detection of UAVs SBIR TRL 3–4

Detects and classifies small uncrewed aircraft from hyperspectral imagery, using spectral signature rather than shape, so targets that defeat conventional optical tracking are still resolved.

Lockheed Martin · Bodkin Design

DARPA AI/ML verification and validation SBIR TRL 3

Methods for establishing that a trained model behaves within specification before it is fielded, addressing the assurance gap that keeps machine learning out of safety-critical defence systems.

North Carolina State University

MDA Ground-based hypersonic threat detection using neuromorphic processing STTR TRL 3

Detection and tracking of hypersonic threats from ground-based sensors, with inference on neuromorphic hardware to hold the latency budget that the closing speeds demand.

Lockheed Martin · University of Florida

DHS Contraband detection using hyperspectral imaging and neuromorphic processing SBIR TRL 3

Identifies concealed contraband by spectral signature at ports of entry, with on-sensor neuromorphic inference so screening runs at the speed of the queue.

Lockheed Martin · Bodkin Design

NAVY Metamaterial-enhanced micromirror surfaces for infrared beam control SBIR TRL 3

Engineered metamaterial surfaces on micromirror arrays that steer and shape infrared beams without moving bulk optics, reducing the size, weight and power of the assembly.

Duke University

NAVY Smart image-recognition sensor using metamaterial optics SBIR TRL 3

A sensor that performs part of the recognition task in the optics themselves, using metamaterial elements, so less computation is required downstream of the focal plane.

Lockheed Martin

ARMY Multi-sensor object detection and tracking SBIR TRL 3

Fuses several dissimilar sensors into a single track picture, holding identity across handoffs where any individual sensor loses the object.

Dr. Raktim Bhattacharya

NAVY Next-generation toolsets for weapons separation evaluation SBIR TRL 3

Modelling tools for evaluating store separation from an aircraft, replacing part of a test campaign that is otherwise flown.

Dr. Raktim Bhattacharya

NAVY ML database for low-flammability polymer matrix composites SBIR TRL 3

A curated database and learned models relating composite formulation to flammability, so candidate materials can be screened before they are manufactured and burned.
