The DARPA NEOVISION2 grant invites research proposals aimed at fundamentally transforming unmanned sensor system technologies. This initiative focuses on developing novel approaches by emulating the mammalian visual pathway, encompassing the entire biological process from the retina through to the visual cortex. The goal is to implement advanced computational models and algorithmic emulations that mirror the sophisticated capabilities of natural vision. This groundbreaking research seeks to move beyond current limitations in sensor technology, enabling future unmanned systems to achieve unprecedented levels of perception and autonomy. Successful proposals will demonstrate innovative methods for integrating these bio-inspired visual models into practical applications, ultimately enhancing the capabilities and performance of next-generation unmanned platforms.
