DOD adopt an initial zero-trust architecture, Trust must be continually assessed and granted in a granular fashion.
The Defense Department has been pushing hard for digital modernization, but the massive hacking campaign that breached multiple federal government agencies via Solarwinds software has put some of its more nascent efforts at risk — namely software factories. “Yes, this creates a new kind of target for our adversaries. These digital …

Flat lenses enabled by Nanotechnology to replace lenses in devices, from microscopes to displays and cameras in cell phones
A classical lens made of plastic or glass has a curved shape that bends the path of incoming light toward a single focal point on a piece of photographic film or an electronic sensor. This is because light travels faster through the thinner glass at the edges of the lens …

Militaries race to develop Very Long Range Air-to-Air missiles with features like large ‘no-escape zone’, AESA Radar, EO/IR Imaging, Network centric data links and hypersonic speeds
Over the past few decades, advances in electronic sensors, communications technology, and guided weapons may have fundamentally transformed the nature of air combat. One of critical technologies was superior situational awareness (SA) when a pilot has a better understanding of the position of all relevant aircraft and their activities in …

Hydrophone and Hydrophone Array technology is enabler of Anti Submarine Warfare
A hydrophone is an underwater listening device, just as a microphone is used to detect sound in the air. Hydrophone detects sounds in the water and converts the acoustic energy into electrical energy by detecting changes in pressure in the surrounding environment. Hydrophones listen to sounds in the sea, but …

Aircrafts & Drones are becoming increasingly important for Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) missions
Three decades ago, only a handful of major powers had effective submarine capabilities but, today, fleets in operation around the world are growing rapidly. Emerging superpowers, like China, can add naval capacity equivalent to a European country’s in the space of a few years. The threat from submarines is serious …
