The helicopter is a type of aircraft which is lifted and propelled by one or more sets of horizontally revolving overhead rotors. It has two rotors that spin several blades. A blade is a tilted airfoil, just like an airplane…
Military is increasingly looking to commercial ICT devices like Smartphones and tablets and they are rapidly making their way into military operations. Modern ICT devices can provide “information superiority” to military by providing information with greater timeliness, relevance, accuracy, and comprehensiveness than…
The US Army is pursuing plans to develop a family of future vertical lift aircraft that will be able to perform a variety of mission sets. Key to that effort is a technology maturation program which has Bell and a…
Security forces require effective ground ISR technologies that can overcome these challenges and provide effective situational awareness. One of the technologies useful in such situations is through-wall imaging which apply radio frequency (RF) and other sensing modes to penetrate wall…
Lidars (Light Detection and Ranging) are similar to radars in that they operate by sending light pulses to the targets and calculate distances by measuring the received time. The key advantages of LIDAR is its superior accuracy and its ability…
The general definition of AI is the capability of a computer system to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence, such as visual perception, speech recognition and decision-making. Machine Learning (ML) is a subfield of Artificial Intelligence which attempts to endow…
Decades of innovation — driven almost entirely by DoD and the Defense Industrial Base — have kept the United States at the forefront of modern military capability. Further the free-market structure of the economy, vibrant venture capital ecosystems, world-class universities,…
