September 30, 2020 Security & Threat Management, Unmanned & Autonomous Systems Comments Off on Unmanned Aerial Systems emerging promising alternative for IEDs and Landmine detection and Disruptionr

Several countries suffer from the existence of millions of buried landmines in their territories. These landmines have indefinite life, and may still cause horrific personal injuries and economic dislocation for decades after a war has finished. Landmines, improvised explosive devices (IEDs), and other homemade bombs struck 6,461 people worldwide …

Biomarkers playing vital role from gauging Warfighter Readiness to predicting infection

September 29, 2020 Biotech & Synthetic Biology, Human & Soldier Systems Comments Off on Biomarkers playing vital role from gauging Warfighter Readiness to predicting infection

The term “biomarker”, a portmanteau of “biological marker”, refers to a broad subcategory of medical signs – that is, objective indications of medical state observed from outside the patient – which can be measured accurately and reproducibly. Medical signs stand in contrast to medical symptoms, which are limited to those …

Increasing cyber threats to commercial and military ground vehicles is driving new approaches and research on vehicle cybersecurity

September 27, 2020 Army, Cyber & IW Comments Off on Increasing cyber threats to commercial and military ground vehicles is driving new approaches and research on vehicle cybersecurity

Increasingly, today’s vehicles feature driver assistance technologies, such as forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, and vehicle safety communications. In the future, the deployment of driver assistance technologies may result in avoiding crashes altogether, particularly crashes attributed to human drivers’ choices. These vehicles depend on connectivity and technology that runs …

DARPA’s SI3-CMD to enhance Military Decision Making through artificial intelligence and computational game theory

September 27, 2020 AI & IT, Defense & Military Comments Off on DARPA’s SI3-CMD to enhance Military Decision Making through artificial intelligence and computational game theory

Military decision-making applications could include strategy development, course of action planning, tactical analyses, intelligence gathering, wargaming and simulation, deception detection, coalition formation and evolution, and others. Such domains typically involve extremely large search spaces (making even a single traversal of a complete decision tree impossible), private information that is never …
