Global military textile demand , military requirements, technology trends, and large Market growth depending on testing as per Mil-specs

December 22, 2020 Manufacturing, Material, Soldier Comments Off on Global military textile demand , military requirements, technology trends, and large Market growth depending on testing as per Mil-specs

Operation of Armed Forces personnel in harsh military terrains for extended tenure period necessitates protection from elements and battle hazards. Harsh military terrains exert profound effects on the physical and physiological performance of the soldiers and can impart serious health hazards on inadequately protected soldiers resulting in mission failure and …

Li-Fi Technology promise to bring the Internet ot IoT Under the Sea and improve Navy’s Ship and submarine communications

December 17, 2020 Navy, Photonics Comments Off on Li-Fi Technology promise to bring the Internet ot IoT Under the Sea and improve Navy’s Ship and submarine communications

It is predicted that LEDs will be the ultimate light source in the near future powering indoor illumination, outdoor lamps, traffic signs, advertising displays, car headlights/taillights, etc. Now another technique promises to double the utility of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) by using their light as a medium for communication in a …

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 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, 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 …

New Machining trends and technologies to improve efficiency, lower operating costs, greener solutions and higher precision for tasks.

December 12, 2020 Industry, Manufacturing Comments Off on New Machining trends and technologies to improve efficiency, lower operating costs, greener solutions and higher precision for tasks.

Machining is a family of processes. Machining common features are the use of cutting tools to form chips that are removed from the work-part. In manufacturing, metal parts frequently require machining. The cutting action itself is a shear deformation on the work-part. Machining can be applied to a wide variety …

Lithium-ion Batteries powered Submarines, UUW and torpedoes have enhanced Stealth, endurance, speed and reliability

December 7, 2020 Energy & Propulsion, Navy Comments Off on Lithium-ion Batteries powered Submarines, UUW and torpedoes have enhanced Stealth, endurance, speed and reliability

Batteries have been used on underwater applications for more than a century, for instance, lead-acid batteries have been used in conventionally powered submarines since the end of the 19th century. Since World War II, submarines have used lead acid batteries. Lead acid batteries are heavy, but they’re also a proven …

Phase estimation algorithms are key protocols for developing ultra sensitive and high resolution sensors

December 6, 2020 Quantum Comments Off on Phase estimation algorithms are key protocols for developing ultra sensitive and high resolution sensors

We are in midst of the second quantum revolution moving from merely computing quantum properties of systems to exploiting them. Researchers are developing new capabilities in secure communication, ultra-sensitive and high signal to noise physical sensing of the environment and Quantum Information Science (QIS). Quantum sensing has become a distinct …

Internet becoming secure and faster through QUIC, the new transport protocol set to replace TCP and HTTP/3

December 5, 2020 Comm. & NW, Cyber Comments Off on Internet becoming secure and faster through QUIC, the new transport protocol set to replace TCP and HTTP/3

As the Military and civilian technological systems, from fighter aircraft to networked household appliances, are becoming ever more dependent upon internet, they are also becoming more vulnerable to hackers and electronic intruders. Electronic system security has become an increasingly critical area of concern for the DoD and the broader U.S. …
