DARPA’s SD2 developing tools to design complex systems like synthetic biology, neuro-computation and polymer chemistry

SD2

Engineers regularly use high-fidelity simulations to create robust designs in complex domains such as aeronautics, automobiles, and integrated circuits. In contrast, robust design remains elusive in domains such as synthetic biology, neuro-computation, and polymer chemistry due to the lack of…...

DARPA’s Transparent Computing programme for defeating complex, sophisticated and stealthy long-term Advanced Persistent Threats ( APTs)

ce11944b98d0742eead2b016a253afd2

Modern computing systems are essentially black boxes that accept inputs and generate outputs, but provide little-to-no visibility of their inner workings, according to DARPA. It can therefore be extremely challenging to detect an intruder, particularly an ‘Advanced Persistent Threat’: a…...

DARPA developing milimmter wave wireless communications to connect dismounted warfighters using UAVs and provide 100 Gb/s RF Backbone (100G)using High-altitude, long-endurance platforms.

DARPA 100G 16 March 2015

Modern expeditionary military missions generate and exchange massive amounts of data that are used to produce situational awareness and guide decision-making. Much of the data must travel long distances along backbone communications networks composed of high-capacity links that connect command…...

Airborne or Spaceborne Synthetic aperture ladar (SAL) for centimeter-class resolution battlefield awareness

SAL

Conventional optical imagers are limited in spatial resolution by the diffraction limit of the telescope aperture, as well as by the practical difficulties in increasing the telescope aperture. Synthetic aperture (SA) techniques can increase resolution beyond the diffraction limit of…...
