Military have large demand for smart materials and devices including smart self-repair, smart clothing such as cloaking suits, and adaptive hull structures for ships. Morphing aircraft are multi-role aircraft that change their external shape substantially to adapt to a changing…
Operation of Armed Forces personnel in harsh military terrains for extended tenure period necessitates protection from elements and battle hazards. Harsh military terrains exert profound effects on the physical and physiological performance of the soldiers and can impart serious health…
As computing devices become more pervasive, the software systems that control them have become increasingly more complex and sophisticated. Computers are increasingly being introduced into safety-critical systems, and, as a consequence, have been involved in accidents. The world has become reliant…
The Department of Defense (DoD) is highly dependent on software. The increasing complexity and scale of this software is creating new attack surfaces for adversaries and reducing the DoD’s ability to react to new threats. Some examples of these complex…
Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) is a service that uses digital tools to create virtual models of buildings. These digital models are then evaluated before ground is even broken, allowing project teams to optimize the way a building is constructed.…
Machining is a family of processes. Machining common features are the use of cutting tools to form chips that are removed from the work-part. In manufacturing, metal parts frequently require machining. The cutting action itself is a shear deformation on…
Mechatronics, which is also called mechatronic engineering, is a multidisciplinary branch of engineering that focuses on the engineering of both electrical and mechanical systems, and also includes a combination of robotics, electronics, computer, telecommunications, systems, control, and product engineering. As…
Recent advances in the understanding and control of quantum technologies, such as those based on cold atoms, have resulted in devices with extraordinary metrological sensitivities with applications in a vast array of areas ranging from geophysical type applications to satellite…
Criminals, terrorists and military have been using tunnels since long time to evade detection as surface based detection methods are ineffective underground . There has been an explosion of underground warfare in the last five years. From sophisticated cross-border Hezbollah…
Additive manufacturing is already revolutionizing various industries from the automotive sector to the medical field, and now it is looks promising to disrupt the electronic industry. They can save thousands of dollars by printing heat sinks, connectors, components, and even…
