DARPA’s ARC and BLADE developed Cognitive and Adaptive Electronic warfare Systems to Counter dynamic wireless communication and radar threats

January 10, 2021 AI & IT, Electronics & EW Comments Off on DARPA’s ARC and BLADE developed Cognitive and Adaptive Electronic warfare Systems to Counter dynamic wireless communication and radar threats

Electronic warfare provide means to counter adversary’s radar and communication systems while protecting one’s own systems through Electronic Attack (EA), Electronic Protection (EP) and Electronic Support (ES). Jamming systems still rely on classified databases of known emitter signals. As radars emit energy, an onboard receiver characterises the incoming signal and and …

Cognitive and Adaptive Radar technologies can counter advanced electronic threats

January 7, 2021 AI & IT, Electronics & EW Comments Off on Cognitive and Adaptive Radar technologies can counter advanced electronic threats

RADAR offers special advantages with respect to other types of sensors including all-day, all-weather operations, long detection distance and, depending on the frequency used, penetration. Moreover, radar can often be carried by a number of platforms, spanning from classic naval and airborne to more recent space-borne, UAVs, such as drones, …

DARPA’s SAIL-ON developing military AI systems that can effectively react to an adversary’s surprise actions,

January 4, 2021 AI & IT, Defense & Military Comments Off on DARPA’s SAIL-ON developing military AI systems that can effectively react to an adversary’s surprise actions,

Current artificial intelligence (AI) systems excel at tasks defined by rigid rules – such as mastering the board games Go and chess with proficiency surpassing world-class human players. Current AI systems. “Imagine if the rules for chess were changed mid-game,” said Ted Senator, program manager in DARPA’s Defense Sciences Office. “How …

New Smart Materials and technologies promise shape morfing devices from morphing Wings to robot swarms

December 27, 2020 AI & IT, Manufacturing, Material Comments Off on New Smart Materials and technologies promise shape morfing devices from morphing Wings to robot swarms

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 mission environment during flight. This creates superior system capabilities not …

STK is AGI’s Multi-domain mission simulation software for simulating ground, sea, air, and space missions

December 23, 2020 AI & IT, Space Technology, Defense & Exploration Comments Off on STK is AGI’s Multi-domain mission simulation software for simulating ground, sea, air, and space missions

Traditional systems engineering approaches to air systems design have been upended by two trends – increasing complexity and accelerating delivery timelines. Digital mission engineering is essential to these new challenges, enabling a system integrator to redirect work from physical systems to their logical representations. Space systems are exceptionally complex, …

NASA’s Software Assurance through Software policies, engineering practices and software standards

December 16, 2020 AI & IT, Manufacturing Comments Off on NASA’s Software Assurance through Software policies, engineering practices and software standards

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 on software-enabled systems and components. In addition, software is now …

DARPA’s AISS program to develop tools for automatic design of secured System on Chip (SoC) for Military IoT

December 15, 2020 AI & IT, Cyber & IW Comments Off on DARPA’s AISS program to develop tools for automatic design of secured System on Chip (SoC) for Military IoT

A system on a chip or system on chip (SoC) is an integrated circuit (also known as a “chip”) that integrates all components of a computer or other electronic system on a single circuit die. Similar to how a microcontroller integrates a microprocessor with peripheral circuits and memory, an SoC …

DARPA’s Intent-Defined Adaptive Software (IDAS) seeks technologies to make DoD Software adaptive for ever-changing military mission demands

December 15, 2020 AI & IT, Manufacturing Comments Off on DARPA’s Intent-Defined Adaptive Software (IDAS) seeks technologies to make DoD Software adaptive for ever-changing military mission demands

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 software systems are as software used in airplanes, logistics, satellites, …

Virtual design and construction (VDC ) is being used by companies around the world to improve business performance objectives like keeping projects on time and on schedule.

December 13, 2020 AI & IT, Industry & Market Dynamics, Manufacturing Comments Off on Virtual design and construction (VDC ) is being used by companies around the world to improve business performance objectives like keeping projects on time and on schedule.

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. This advanced technology provides opportunities to greatly improve the construction …
