CHIP-NESE

Innovative chip design for the first high performance and low power consumption multifunctional integrated board in stratospheric balloons.In December 2022 the PERTE CHIP grant was published, with the aim of empowering the Spanish industry of the 21st century through joint research and relevant representatives from the various sectors, including ASE Optics Europe.

This project, led by the company HISPAVISTA, involves the participation of the companies ASE Optics Europe, Fossa, Multiverse and Masermic, together with the collaboration of different technological centers: Gradiant, Cidetec, Tekniker, Tecnalia, University of Seville and UNIR.

The objective of the CHIP-NESE project is the application of SWIR imaging technology on a miniaturized multiservice high-performance integrated board using quantum-inspired, low-power algorithms. It will be demonstrated by a “proof of concept” with which stratospheric balloons will be fully operational and autonomous.

This project identifies multiple use cases in reference problems that occur in real environments, and its results are beneficial for all ecosystems and for the industry in general.

This project, with file number MIG-20231006, has been subsidized by the CDTI – Centro de Desarrollo Tecnológico y la Innovación – through the call of the Misiones PERTE CHIP Program.
