Summer Research Intern – Neuromorphic UAV Systems

Project Overview

Join a highly selective summer research team working on a breakthrough
Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) project that explores next-generation autonomy,
ultra-low power computing and resilient communication systems in challenging
operational environments. The project will be focused on neuromorphic computing.
The project is sponsored by Platinum Venture Labs, an initiative under Platinum Capital Partners, Inc. https://www.platinumcapitalpartners.net/about-
us.html , created to incubate and accelerate breakthrough ideas.

The goal is to develop a new class of UAV platform that can operate
independently and intelligently in conditions where traditional GPS and
communications may be unreliable, unavailable, or deliberately restricted. These
"denied environments" include areas where access to satellite signals or open
communication channels is blocked due to natural, technological, or policy-driven
constraints.
The system also incorporates advanced features to support low-detectability
operation, including:
- Neuromorphic decision-making logic for real-time adaptation using brain-inspired
spiking neural networks

- Anti-jamming resilience for autonomous navigation without GPS   

- Burst-mode communication logic for selective, low-probability-of-detection (LPD)
data exfiltration

 - A multi-source hybrid energy system to support long-endurance autonomy

 - Stealth-aware design principles and resilient, low-emission communication
methods to support limited detection and secure data exchange. These design
characteristics are aimed to reduce acoustic and RF signatures

All architecture decisions, including flight behavior, power conservation, and
sensing, are designed around the unique advantages of neuromorphic control
systems — prioritizing event-driven intelligence with extreme power efficiency.

Internship Objective (Feasibility Sprint)

Interns will contribute to the feasibility and design validation of core
architecture features through simulation, modeling, and software prototyping.
Workstreams include:
- Autonomous decision-making with neuromorphic frameworks
- Resilient communication behavior under limited signal scenarios
- Hybrid energy system modeling for sustained edge operations
- Stealth-aware mobility and systems behavior simulation
This is a simulation, design and modeling internship — It is expected that no
physical UAV will be constructed during the internship period.
