Superhydrophobic and Omniphobic materials for self-cleaning soldiers clothes and reduce fuel costs of Ships and Submarines

May 14, 2019 Human & Soldier Systems, Material Comments Off on Superhydrophobic and Omniphobic materials for self-cleaning soldiers clothes and reduce fuel costs of Ships and Submarines

Normal solid surfaces are wetted by liquids such as water and oil. In many cases, surface wetting is undesirable due to the fact that the liquids may largely deteriorate the functionality of the surface, or cause unwanted effects. For example, evaporation of liquid droplets could leave behind chemical or dirt …

DARPA’s INTERCEPT developing adaptive medical countermeasures to protect soldiers from viral diseases like Zika & Ebola.

December 10, 2018 Biotech & Synthetic Biology, Human & Soldier Systems Comments Off on DARPA’s INTERCEPT developing adaptive medical countermeasures to protect soldiers from viral diseases like Zika & Ebola.

The viral diseases like Zika. Ebola. Dengue. Influenza. Chikungunya pose serious health threats to U.S. troops, as well as to civilian populations in the United States and around the world, says DARPA. Vaccines exist for but a few of these infectious diseases. And since these viruses have an uncanny ability …

Soldiers require Secure, low-intercept and low-detection communications and networking technologies for future battlefield

October 5, 2018 Comm. & Networking, Human & Soldier Systems Comments Off on Soldiers require Secure, low-intercept and low-detection communications and networking technologies for future battlefield

The vision for the future soldier is to be combat effective and also highly mobile, adaptive, networked, sustainable with total battle space situation awareness and information assurance. Therefore, he is equipped with night- vision goggles, radios, smartphones, GPS, infrared sights, a laptop as well as batteries to power them. All …

Brain-computer interfaces are employed for neuroprosthetics, and now in military and defense to control robotic soldiers or fly planes & UAVs with thoughts.

January 29, 2018 Biotech & Synthetic Biology, Human & Soldier Systems Comments Off on Brain-computer interfaces are employed for neuroprosthetics, and now in military and defense to control robotic soldiers or fly planes & UAVs with thoughts.

New era has arrived when people use only their thoughts to control not only themselves, but the world around them. Every action our body performs begins with a thought, and with every thought comes an electrical signal. The electrical signals can be received by the Brain-Computer Interface (BCI), which can electroencephalograph …

DARPA NESD developing high bandwidth implantable neural interfaces for controlling machines with brain and mind control of soldiers

January 16, 2018 Biotech & Synthetic Biology, Human & Soldier Systems Comments Off on DARPA NESD developing high bandwidth implantable neural interfaces for controlling machines with brain and mind control of soldiers

Neural interfaces currently approved for human use squeeze a tremendous amount of information through just 100 channels, with each channel aggregating signals from tens of thousands of neurons at a time. The result is noisy and imprecise. DARPA announced NESD in January 2016 with aim to develop to develop an implantable …

DARPA TNT through activation of peripheral nerves speeds up learning by 40% , enable soldiers analyzing intelligence and cryptography techniques

December 20, 2017 Biotech & Synthetic Biology, Human & Soldier Systems Comments Off on DARPA TNT through activation of peripheral nerves speeds up learning by 40% , enable soldiers analyzing intelligence and cryptography techniques

In March 2016, DARPA launched the Targeted Neuroplasticity Training (TNT) program, that seeks to advance the pace and effectiveness of a specific kind of learning—cognitive skills training—through the precise activation of peripheral nerves that can in turn promote and strengthen neuronal connections in the brain. TNT will pursue development of …

New technologies being developed to detect and predict cognitive stress that can result in failure of military Missions

October 27, 2017 Biotech & Synthetic Biology, Human & Soldier Systems Comments Off on New technologies being developed to detect and predict cognitive stress that can result in failure of military Missions

Soldiers often have to perform complex tasks in extreme conditions, sometimes approaching or exceeding the limits of their capabilities. Some of the missions the soldiers perform can take weeks, away from in difficult terrain like deserts and mountains which requires maintaining an incredibly high level of physical fitness. Around the …
