DARPA HARDEN developing designs and tools for trusted computing systems

Hardware Trojans (HT), which are malicious circuit inclusions into the design from an adversary with an intention to damage the functionality of the chip at a much later date or leaking confidential information like keys used in cryptography. Time to market demand has forced integrated circuit design, manufacturing and testing …

DARPA MELT developing high energy lasers for directed energy weapons to counter drone swarms

Laser technology provides major advantages for military applications over kinetic weapons due to High precision and rapid on-target effect, precise and scalable effects, avoidance of collateral damage caused by fragmenting ammunition, Low logistics overhead, and minimum costs per firing. The proliferation of small, low-cost Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) on …

Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensors

The fiber optic sensors also called as optical fiber sensors use optical fiber or sensing element. These Sensors can measure a large variety of parameters, such as temperature, pressure, strain, refractive index, vibrations, displacements, bending, loading, and liquid level or concentration of chemical species. Over the past decade, the …

Topological materials for Green ICT, spintronics , terahertz and quantum technology

The discovery of topological materials whose properties remain intact even when an object is stretched, twisted or deformed, led to the awarding of the Nobel Prize in physics in 2016 to F. Duncan M. Haldane, and others. Their topological nature means these states are resistant to change, and so stable …

Compound semiconductors for 5G, radar, electronic warfare, aviation, and satellite communication applications

Modern electronic products, from computers to smart phones, use silicon chips at their heart. As the name suggests, these chips are made from silicon, which is a highly abundant element found in sand. With a single element, it is possible to scale-up the manufacturing process to make highly complex silicon chips …

Propulsion technologies for Space logistics, In-Space Assembly (OOS / ISA), automated satellite on-orbit servicing (OOS)

In the history of spaceflight, almost all spacecraft have been manufactured and assembled on the ground, then integrated into a launch vehicle for delivery into orbit. This approach imposes significant limitations on the size, volume, and design of payloads that can be accommodated within the fairing of a single launch …

Protein A Resins Market

Most antibody drugs treat cancer and autoimmune diseases, and many of the rest are used to treat orphan and infectious diseases. Unfortunately, antibodies are complex proteins in many ways, which complicates their purification and characterization, making it difficult for their developers to meet the rigid requirements for therapeutics. Process …

DARPA CASTLE developing AI-toolkit for network hardening against advanced persistent threats (APT)

Computer networks are more than ever exposed to cyber threats of increasing frequency, complexity and sophistication. Penetration testing (also known as pentesting or PT) is a common practice for actively assessing the defenses of a computer network by planning and executing all possible attacks to discover and exploit existing vulnerabilities. In …

Multi-Robot Collaborative Localization

Humanitarian Crisis scenarios occur frequently and they typically require immediate rescue intervention. In many cases, the scene conditions may be prohibitive for the human rescuers to provide instant aid, as they have to act within hazardous conditions, like collapsed buildings, air-poisoned, or radioactive environments. Many organizations and research teams are …

Hybrid-Electric Propulsion for Military aircraft to power radars to laser weapons payloads

The civil global aviation market has experienced considerable economic growth in recent years and will keep increasing. It is estimated that around 1300 new international airports will be required, and the commercial aircraft fleet will double by 2050, with a projected passenger throughput of 7.2 billion in 2035. This growth …
