International Defense Security & Technology Your trusted Source for News, Research and Analysis
Successful military operations depend upon freedom of action in the warfighting domains of air, space, ground, sea, and cyberspace. Today, effective command and control and situational awareness depend upon radio communications and sensors. Domination of the electromagnetic spectrum (EMS) enables joint force commanders to gain tactical, operational, and strategic advantage …

DARPA MTR will develop algorithms to enable SAR sensors to detect, geolocate, and image moving ground and airborne targets.
The aim of ground surveillance is the large scale, continuous and near real time determination of a dynamical ground picture. This task comprises detection and tracking of moving single targets and convoys, mobile weapon systems, and military equipment. The sensors of choice are airborne Ground Moving Target Indicator (GMTI) radar …

Israel successfully tests Multilayered Air Defense system to defend against Barrage of short-, medium- and long-range ballistic missiles,
Israel is a small country surrounded by many enemies, facing many security threats. Israel also faces a “high trajectory threat” that involves short-, medium- and long-range ballistic missiles, putting the country in jeopardy of facing an unprecedented barrage. This could involve thousands of missiles fired a day at Israel, and …

Electrode Materials are key to Brain Computer Interface (BCI) technology
Every action our body performs begins with a thought, and with every thought comes an electrical signal. The electrical signals can be received by the brain-computer interface, consisting of an electroencephalograph (EEG) or an implanted electrode, which can then be translated, and then sent to the performing hardware to produce …

DARPA’s AMP to develop rapid, assuredly safe, and scalable software patches for reducing vulnerabilities of mission-critical systems
Our society’s infrastructure is increasingly dependent on software deployed on a wide variety of computing devices other than commodity personal computers, such as industrial equipment, automobiles, and airplanes. Unlike commodity computers that have short upgrade cycles and are easily replaceable in case of failure, these computing devices are intended for …

AI and cognitive robotics progressing towards Artificial consciousness (AC), machines with emotional intelligence and be as convincing as people.
Artificial intelligence is a branch of computer science dealing with the simulation of intelligent behavior in computers. A computer system able to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence, such as visual perception, speech recognition, decision-making, and translation between languages. The first wave of AI was rule-based and “second wave” …

New structural health monitoring technologies can detect aircraft damage in real time and even predict failures
All kinds of engineering infrastructures undergo aging, and damage appears as a consequence of the loads applied to them, so inspection and maintenance actions are required to predict and lengthen their lifetime thus avoiding catastrophic failures. Due to the harsh conditions suffered by aircraft structures, periodic and scheduled inspection and …

Quantum Sensors like Quantum magnetometers entering commercial market to detect and measure extremely small signals
The world, say many experts, is on the verge of a second quantum revolution. Energy quantization gave us modern electronics via the transistor and the laser, but humans’ burgeoning ability to manipulate individual atoms and electrons could potentially transform industries ranging from communications and energy to medicine and defense. The most …
