Just three years later, this projection is rapidly becoming reality, propelled by a surge in public-private collaborations and breakthrough technologies. The momentum of …
Read More »Rethinking Military Logistics in Contested Environments In today’s era of multi-domain warfare, logistics has become as strategic as firepower. Modern battlefields, particularly in contested or resource-depleted environments, challenge the assumption of uninterrupted access to high-quality materials and long supply chains. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) recognizes this evolving …
Read More »Artificial intelligence (AI) has witnessed explosive growth in recent years, evolving far beyond basic tasks like image classification or natural language processing. With the emergence of generative AI and increasingly complex models, the computational demand has surged to levels that are straining conventional hardware architectures. Despite advancements in CPUs, GPUs, …
Read More »Introduction: Breaking the “One-Part, One-Material” Paradigm Modern defense systems operate in extreme environments where the performance and reliability of materials can dictate mission success or failure. Historically, engineers have been constrained by the “one-material-per-part” paradigm—selecting a single material for a given component based on compromise rather than optimization. This legacy …
