DARPA SubT developed tunnel warfare technologies to rapidly map, navigate, and search underground tunnels employed for missile and nuclear arsenal

May 5, 2022 Army, Security & Threat Management Comments Off on DARPA SubT developed tunnel warfare technologies to rapidly map, navigate, and search underground tunnels employed for missile and nuclear arsenal

In recent years, underground settings are becoming increasingly relevant to global security and safety. Factors such as rising populations and urbanization are requiring military and civilian first responders to perform their duties in below-ground conditions, in human-made tunnels, underground urban spaces, and natural cave networks. Military and Security forces also have …

Robots rapidly advancing from assistants, to becoming our close companions to replacing us and merging with us as Robot-human hybrids

May 4, 2022 AI & IT, Global Risks & Future Threats, Unmanned & Autonomous Systems Comments Off on Robots rapidly advancing from assistants, to becoming our close companions to replacing us and merging with us as Robot-human hybrids

A robot, is any automatically operated machine that replaces human effort, though it may not resemble human beings in appearance or perform functions in a humanlike manner. A robot is a machine—especially one programmable by a computer—capable of carrying out a complex series of actions automatically. A robot can be …

Missile RF seekers being improved through Electronically steering, millimeter wave seekers, and Automatic Target Recognition (ATR) technology

May 2, 2022 Electronics & EW, Weapons & Munitions Comments Off on Missile RF seekers being improved through Electronically steering, millimeter wave seekers, and Automatic Target Recognition (ATR) technology

In recent years, precision guided weapons play more and more important role in modern war. One of the greatest strengths of a precision strike missile is a reduction in the number of aircraft sorties required to destroy a target. One of the key contributors to the missile accuracy, lethality, and …

Missile seekers

May 2, 2022 Weapons & Munitions Comments Off on Missile seekers

Missile guidance concerns the method by which the missile receives its commands to move along a certain path to reach a target. On some missiles, these commands are generated internally by the missile computer autopilot. On others, the commands are transmitted to the missile by some external source. The missile …

Robotics simulator

April 25, 2022 AI & IT, Mechanical, Unmanned & Autonomous Systems Comments Off on Robotics simulator

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 …

Russia developing range of large, small, and mid-sized stealthy drones, closing the gap with US, Israel and China

April 16, 2022 Geopolitics, Strategy & Technological Rivalries, Unmanned & Autonomous Systems Comments Off on Russia developing range of large, small, and mid-sized stealthy drones, closing the gap with US, Israel and China

The US and Israel are universally recognized leaders in the development and use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or drones. Thousands of American and Israeli UAVs are operating across the world daily. China is already world’s largest producer of UAVs and is working on taking on a greater share in …

Accurate, realtime Geospatial intelligence (GEOINT) critical for Military and Security operations, experiencing many new technology trends

April 12, 2022 AI & IT, Defense & Military, Security & Threat Management Comments Off on Accurate, realtime Geospatial intelligence (GEOINT) critical for Military and Security operations, experiencing many new technology trends

Geoint is imagery and information that relates human activity to geography. It typically is collected from satellites and aircraft and can illuminate patterns not easily detectable by other means. GEOINT (GEOspatial INTelligence) is the foundation of intelligence, it is the process with which skilled analysts evaluate and correlate information, either …

Militaries racing to develop hypersonic cruise missiles after deploying Boost-glide vehicles

April 7, 2022 Geopolitics, Strategy & Technological Rivalries, Weapons & Munitions Comments Off on Militaries racing to develop hypersonic cruise missiles after deploying Boost-glide vehicles

Hypersonic weapons typically travel at Mach 5 to Mach 10 — or speeds of 3,840 to 7,680 miles per hour. A missile traveling at Mach 5 could hit a target 100 miles away in about 1 minute and 34 seconds. A missile moving at Mach 10, meanwhile, could hit a target …

Emerging ultrashort pulse laser (USPL) or Femtosecond laser directed energy weapons (DEW)

April 7, 2022 Photonics, Weapons & Munitions Comments Off on Emerging ultrashort pulse laser (USPL) or Femtosecond laser directed energy weapons (DEW)

The Laser Directed Energy Weapons (DEWs) offer a transformational ‘game changer’ to counter asymmetric and disruptive threats, while facing increasingly sophisticated traditional challenges. Laser technology provides major advantages for military applications over kinetic weapons due to High precision and rapid on-target effect, precise and scalable effects, avoidance of collateral damage …
