Growing requirements for Man portable Radars for counterterrorism, counter UAV, maritime surveillance and battlefield applications

October 22, 2021 Electronics & EW, Soldier Comments Off on Growing requirements for Man portable Radars for counterterrorism, counter UAV, maritime surveillance and battlefield applications

Radar, is an electromagnetic sensor used for detecting, locating, tracking, and recognizing objects of various kinds at considerable distances. It operates by transmitting electromagnetic energy toward objects, commonly referred to as targets, and observing the echoes returned from them. Energy is emitted in various frequencies and wavelengths from large wavelength radio …

Human Factors in Human-Machine Teaming is critical for efficient and effective integration of soldiers with complex machines.

October 21, 2021 AI & IT, BioScience, Soldier Comments Off on Human Factors in Human-Machine Teaming is critical for efficient and effective integration of soldiers with complex machines.

Interactions with technologically sophisticated artificial intelligence (AI) agents are now commonplace. We increasingly rely on intelligent systems to extend our human capabilities, from chatbots that provide technical support to virtual assistants like Siri and Alexa. Examples of such systems include air traffic control, aircraft cockpits, chemical processing, and the power …

Growing collision risk to commercial shipping and unmanned surface vehicle (USV) , call for new technologies to improve Safe Navigation

October 21, 2021 Navy, Security Comments Off on Growing collision risk to commercial shipping and unmanned surface vehicle (USV) , call for new technologies to improve Safe Navigation

The seas are becoming increasingly congested, with the IFT Transport Outlook 2019 predicting that demand for maritime trade could triple within the next 30 years. A large number of ships raises the chances of the collision. Although the number of serious collisions has fallen within the past decade with 132 …

Threat of concealed weapon and missiles systems on standard international shipping container.

October 20, 2021 Navy, Weapons Comments Off on Threat of concealed weapon and missiles systems on standard international shipping container.

Containerized weapon systems are weapons built to carry everything they need to function inside a standard shipping container. Many nations including Russia, Israel, China, and the United States have had various “containerized” weapons in their stockpile for years now. In 2010, it was reported that a Russian company is …

Transforming Multiphysics Simulations using Quantum Computing

October 19, 2021 AI & IT, Quantum Comments Off on Transforming Multiphysics Simulations using Quantum Computing

Modelling is the process of representing a model (e.g., physical, mathematical, or logical representation of a system, entity, phenomenon, or process) which includes its construction and working. This model is similar to a real system, which helps the analyst predict the effect of changes to the system. Simulation of a …

Precision Guidance Kit turn artillery rounds into smart weapons that penetrate A2/AD environments and destroy threats even in GPS jammed environments

October 18, 2021 Electronics & EW, Weapons Comments Off on Precision Guidance Kit turn artillery rounds into smart weapons that penetrate A2/AD environments and destroy threats even in GPS jammed environments

Artillery ammunition is designed for use in guns, howitzers, and mortars. Size designations for artillery ammunition range from 37MM through 280MM. Artillery ammunition can be classified according to weapon system (gun, howitzer, mortar), filler composition (explosive or chemical), and military use (practice or service). The diameter, or interior, of a …

NASA Flight Opportunities program facilitates rapid demonstration of promising technologies for space exploration

October 17, 2021 Manufacturing, Space Comments Off on NASA Flight Opportunities program facilitates rapid demonstration of promising technologies for space exploration

Two out of three missions to the red planet have failed. One reason there have been so many losses is that there have been so many attempts. “Mars is a favorite target,” says Dr. Firouz Naderi, manager of the Mars Program Office at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. To get there, …

Superconducting (SC) materials enable light-weight and energy efficient electric propulsion system for Aircrafts, ships and satellites to future interplanetary missions

October 17, 2021 Energy & Propulsion, Material Comments Off on Superconducting (SC) materials enable light-weight and energy efficient electric propulsion system for Aircrafts, ships and satellites to future interplanetary missions

A new power revolution is going on in orbit – that of electrical propulsion for satellites. An ion thruster is a form of electric propulsion used for spacecraft propulsion. It creates thrust by accelerating ions with electricity. As the ionised particles escape from the aircraft, they generate a force moving …
