Err holy shit that’s quite the array and FPGA processing backend. I assume the purpose of the system is secret?

(VCU128s are relatively large, HBM equipped FPGAs for people not aware)

It was designed for automotive as a replacement for LiDAR, also useful for finding metal FOD on runways, or concealed weapons and I suppose also liquids on travelers walking in an airport...
(Linked VCU128 digital radar was cool but even cooler is using them as digital array beamformers and sending RDMA over fiber into a quad A100s nvlinked to do the whole radar DSP pipeline)
What project was that for ?! Sounds super cool
