DARPA developing GPS backup and beyond Technologies for GPS denied and degraded environments

The GPS system provides critical positioning capabilities to military, civil, and commercial users around the world. The Global Positioning System (GPS), is a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) that provides location and time information in all weather conditions, anywhere on or near the Earth where there is an unobstructed line of …

DARPA’s WARP developing wideband adaptive RF circuit technology to Protect Ultra-Wideband Military radios, radars and EW systems from Jamming

The military uses the electromagnetic spectrum — essential, yet invisible — to detect, deceive and disrupt the enemy while protecting friendly forces. As enemies become more capable and threats more complex, controlling the spectrum is increasingly critical. However, today’s electromagnetic (EM) spectrum is a scarce resource that is becoming increasingly …

DARPA Ditto developing artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning based surrogate models to speed design of military systems

DoD is exploring opportunities to incorporate autonomy, AI, and human-machine teaming into its weapons and operations. Whether as data-mining tools for intelligence analysts, decision aids for planners, or enablers for autonomous vehicle operations, these systems have the potential to provide more accuracy, speed, and agility than traditional tools. Yet operational …

DARPA DIGIT employs gene editing to diagnose COVID-19 and other pandemics and also determine the strain, their origin

Major infectious diseases, like COVID-19, often go undetected until they spread. Spotting the problem in a community isn’t easy, in part because infectious disease detection, which is the foundation for surveillance and contact tracing, can take hours, if not days. Compounding the problem is that traditional detection assays are designed …

Nanotechnology enhanced weapons and Nanoweapons are growing Global Security Threat with potential to cause human extinction

Nanotechnologies involve designing and producing objects or structures at a very small scale, on the level of 100 nanometres (100 millionth of a millimetre) or less. It allows humans to play with the building blocks of the universe, exploiting the laws of quantum mechanics to construct materials with unimaginable precision – …
