Heterogeneous Integration Technology enhance capability of military RADAR, communications, imaging and sensing systems, DARPA’s DAHI, and CHIPS led its development

DARPA CHIPS 1

Modern warfare is increasingly dependent on microelectronics capabilities that sense the environment, convert the signals into data streams, process the information, and generate a response. In this sense, Aerospace and Defense (A-D)  systems are quite similar to commercial systems that…...

Risind threat of rising Mass shooting incidents, Security Forces deploying technologies AI based Gunfire detection systems, and imaging radars

gunfiredetection

Assaults by firearm kill about 11,000 people in the US each year, which translates to a roughly 1-in-370 lifetime chance of death from gun violence. That’s almost 50% more likely than the lifetime odds of dying while riding inside a…...

Countries develop Sonic Weapons, the silent weapons used in counter-terrorist and crowd control settings

sonic

Sonic weapons employ extremely high-power sound waves  to disrupt or destroy the eardrums of a target and cause severe pain or disorientation. This is usually sufficient to incapacitate a person. Less powerful sound waves can cause humans to experience nausea…...

Muography employs cosmic ray particles Muons, to detect shielded nuclear contraband, to objects deeply buried up to thousands of meters below the earth’s surface

muon

Muons are subatomic particles that behave a lot like electrons but are around 200 times heavier. As the US Department of Energy explains, “Muons created in the atmosphere constantly hit every inch of the Earth’s surface and pass through almost…...
