Indian offset policy overcoming challenges to achieve target worth USD15 billion in defence offset work over next decade.

The defence equipment held by Indian defence forces is 50% obsolete, the proportion of state-of-the-art equipment also needs to double from current 15% to 30%. This justifies the huge requirement of new systems. Ongoing projects include submarine building, advance early warning aircraft, Rafale fighters, missiles, missile shields, aerostat radars, all of …

DARPA’s NLM developing systematic approaches of designing metamaterials for imaging, AR Glasses and EMDrive.

The ability to design and fabricate materials with new functionalities opens the door to a new world of possibilities. They can be tailored to either augment the functionality of existing devices or create new devices with superior performances. EnMats are broadly defined to include, but are not limited to, metamaterials (both …

Nanolasers emerging technology for optical interconnects, near-field spectroscopy and sensing, optical probing for biological systems, microprocessors and quantum circuits

Lasers are widely used in household appliances, medicine, industry, telecommunications and more. A nanolaser is a laser that has nanoscale dimensions. These tiny lasers can be modulated quickly and, combined with their small footprint, this makes them ideal candidates for on-chip optical computing. Several years ago, scientists introduced nanolasers …

New efficient, high brightness, and tunable Quantum cascade laser (QCL)s technologes from mid-wave infrared (MWIR) to Terahertz region promise chemical warfare agents & hidden explosives detectors, to infrared countermeasure (IRCM) systems

Compact, chip-based lasers have conquered much of the electromagnetic spectrum, from ultraviolet to infrared, enabling technologies from digital communications and barcode readers to laser pointers and printers. Diode lasers depend on the process of electron-hole recombination: an electron from the conduction band recombines with a hole in the valence band, …

Indian Threat Scenario, National security threats and future military capability requirements

There are two approaches to connect Warfighting and emerging technologies. One is to consider the present and future threat environment and then through system analysis we can identify technologies required to mitigate those threats. Secondly, we can identify the emerging technologies that can offer new military capability. Coming to …

Efficient Piezoelectric technologies for aerospace and defense smart sensors, smart skin, smart combat suits, and energy harvesting

Advanced sensors and actuators, together with exponential improvements in computer technology, are causing a surge of interest in the development of “intelligent” structures and equipment. A smart structure consists of four key elements: actuators, sensors, control strategies, and power conditioning electronics. Numerous applications include automotive springs, smart skins on aircraft, smart …

Antigravity Technology and Military’s anti-gravity research programmes including Disclosure Project

In Newton’s law of universal gravitation, gravity was an external force transmitted by unknown means. In the 20th century, Newton’s model was replaced by general relativity where gravity is not a force but the result of the geometry of spacetime. Under general relativity, gravity is the result of following spatial geometry …

US Army’s Robotic and Autonomous Systems (RAS) Strategy for gaining for gaining overmatch in future high-intensity conflicts

As both artificial intelligence and autonomous systems advance at an astonishing rate, scientists and military leaders alike are working through the complexities to determine the best ways of implementing them on the modern battlefield. The accelerating arms race in Artificial Intelligence and the diffusion of cheap, technologically advanced military systems among …

Militaries require next generation ESM /ELINT systems to counter sophisticated LPI, agile, Ultrawideband, VHF long-range early warning Radar threats

Electronic Warfare EW, encompasses, in all battle phases, military actions involving the use of EM energy to determine, exploit, reduce or prevent hostile use of EM spectrum and the actions, which retain friendly use of the EM spectrum. EW consists of three related sectors, viz., Electronic Protection (EP), Electronic Attack …

Ships require Attitude Stabilization System for Satellite Tracking Antenna

In the age of information technology, mobile data communication has become essential due to its convenience. A major role of mobile communication networks is to provide ubiquitous broadband services. Regardless of the actual position of the antenna on earth, it is always possible to make contact with a communication satellite. …
