Europe · Israel-led · Onboard-computing research demonstrator
This project focuses on onboard-computing research demonstrator.
QI2S developed a laboratory prototype for onboard hyperspectral image interpretation during its 2013–2015 FP7 research period. CORDIS reports TRL4 and a downscaled FPGA implementation because the full RC64 chip was still being developed separately. The project received a EUR1,883,170 EU contribution. Its ground demonstrator and future chip estimates do not establish a launched QI2S payload or operational orbital service.
Elbit Systems Electro-Optics Elop-led FP7 consortium · Completed laboratory research
Scope: Enabling research · Named enabling onboard-processing hardware/software research with laboratory validation, without a defined shared orbital platform.

CORDIS QI2S grant313105 participants (opens in a new tab)Manual review 31 Oct 2026. Compared CORDIS objectives, final implementation, readiness, grant and participants. Kept the FPGA laboratory configuration separate from full RC64 component targets and generic processor comparisons. No orbital result is established. Primary body last observed not available. Source monitoring: partial. Source collection and substantive profile review are separate checks. Plans and dates may change.
