October 30, 2017 AI & IT, Cyber Comments Off on Real-time behavioral analytics, new tool for detecting advanced external and internal Cyber threats and mental health, employed by Intelligence agencies to DOD 652

An insider threat is a malicious threat to an organization that comes from people within the organization, such as employees, former employees, contractors or business associates, who have inside information concerning the organization’s security practices, data and computer systems. The threat may involve fraud, the theft of confidential or commercially …

New technologies being developed to detect and predict cognitive stress that can result in failure of military Missions

October 27, 2017 BioScience, Soldier Comments Off on New technologies being developed to detect and predict cognitive stress that can result in failure of military Missions 738

Soldiers often have to perform complex tasks in extreme conditions, sometimes approaching or exceeding the limits of their capabilities. Some of the missions the soldiers perform can take weeks, away from in difficult terrain like deserts and mountains which requires maintaining an incredibly high level of physical fitness. Around the …

DARPA’s QuBE aimed to employ Quantum Biology effects to design next generation navigation, chemical and Magnetic field sensors

October 18, 2017 BioScience, Quantum Comments Off on DARPA’s QuBE aimed to employ Quantum Biology effects to design next generation navigation, chemical and Magnetic field sensors 1,072

The first quantum revolution enabled inventions such as the laser and transistor, the basic building block of computers, when scientists knew the rules of quantum mechanics and built devices that followed those rules. The second quantum revolution is all about controlling individual quantum systems,, such as charged molecules, to a …

Insitu ScanEagle flying ViDAR Payload enhances Maritime security by spotting and positively identifying objects under clear sun to wind, rain, haze and fog.

October 14, 2017 Navy, Photonics Comments Off on Insitu ScanEagle flying ViDAR Payload enhances Maritime security by spotting and positively identifying objects under clear sun to wind, rain, haze and fog. 772

ViDAR, or visual radar, is the term coined by Australian computer vision specialist Sentient for a newly developed sensor that combines a high-definition electro-optic (EO) camera with automatic target detection algorithms to detect small maritime targets. The ScanEagle drone from Insitu equipped with the ViDAR payload showcased its newest …

Solid state cooling based on magnetocaloric, electrocaloric, and mechanocaloric materials advancing to replace present environmentally damaging refrigeration technologies

October 11, 2017 Material Comments Off on Solid state cooling based on magnetocaloric, electrocaloric, and mechanocaloric materials advancing to replace present environmentally damaging refrigeration technologies 564

Current cooling technology, such as that found in fridges and air conditioning systems, exploits the changes in temperature when gases are compressed and expanded. This technology often uses environmentally damaging greenhouse gases. The search for materials with large caloric effects has become a major challenge in material science due to …

Quantum Biometrics that Exploits the Human Eye’s Ability to Detect Single Photons, may be solution to military and security requirement of hackproof Biometrics

October 7, 2017 Quantum Comments Off on Quantum Biometrics that Exploits the Human Eye’s Ability to Detect Single Photons, may be solution to military and security requirement of hackproof Biometrics 489

Biometric verification is any means by which a person can be uniquely identified by evaluating one or more distinguishing biological traits. Unique identifiers include fingerprints, hand geometry, earlobe geometry, retina and iris patterns, voice waves, DNA, and signatures. A record of a person’s unique characteristic is captured and kept in …

DARPA’s Colosseum, world-unique wireless testbed shall catalyze the advent of autonomous, intelligent, and collaborative radio technology

October 2, 2017 AI & IT, Electronics & EW Comments Off on DARPA’s Colosseum, world-unique wireless testbed shall catalyze the advent of autonomous, intelligent, and collaborative radio technology 713

In March 2016, DARPA officials launched the Spectrum Collaboration Challenge (SC2), an initiative designed to ensure that the exponentially growing number of military and civilian wireless devices will have full access to the increasingly crowded electromagnetic spectrum particularly between 9 kHz and 275 GHz, the range allocated by the Federal …

Accurate Modelling and Simulation for Prediction of Nuclear Weapons Effects on Facilities and persons

October 1, 2017 Security, Threats, Weapons Comments Off on Accurate Modelling and Simulation for Prediction of Nuclear Weapons Effects on Facilities and persons 813

According to the U.S. National Security Strategy, the potential use of nuclear weapons poses the greatest danger to U.S. security. Apart from countries like North Korea that threaten to use nuclear weapons, the world is facing many nuclear threats because of nuclear arms race in asia, modernization of nuclear arsenal …
