Infrared Search and Track (IRST) emerging as preferred solution for engaging stealthy aircraft and cruise missiles

Stealth has revolutionized the Air power by vastly enhancing the penetration capabilities of fifth generation aircrafts like the F-22A Raptor developed by Lockheed Martin and Boeing, L.M. F-35 Lightning II. Stealth in military is often described to mean, all the methods, techniques and measures intended to deny or delay the …

Navy developing next generation Submarine Monitoring Network technologies for Antisubmarine warfare (ASW)

Anti-submarine warfare (ASW) has always been a game of hide and seek, with adversarial states looking to adopt and deploy emerging technologies in submarine stealth or detection to give them the strategic edge. The advantage has shifted back and forth, but, on the whole, it has proved easier to hide …

Emerging field neuromodulation, or biostimulation, or electroceuticals, is emerging as an alternative to costly chemical and biologic drugs.

The human body is electric. Peripheral nerves connect all organs to the central nervous system, and those nerves are packaged in various bundles. The vagus nerve, for example, carries about 100,000 nerve fibers. It’s also the longest nerve in the body, linking the brain to organs from the esophagus to …

Countries building Artificial islands for economic progress, establishing industry,and exerting geopolitical and military control

An artificial island or man-made island is an island that has been constructed by people rather than formed by natural means. Artificial islands may vary in size from small islets reclaimed solely to support a single pillar of a building or structure, to those that support entire communities and cities. Human-made …

Printed and flexible electronics (PFE) revolution require Smart manufacturing concepts and printing technologies

While the conventional electronics like computers and smartphones is built around silicon integrating billions of transistors and is manufactured using complex, costly and wasteful processes in multi-billion dollar foundries . The printed and flexible electronics aim to replace this by “organic” semiconductors which are long chains of thousands of repeating …

DARPA’s LUMOS to develop Photonic integrated circuits (PICs) and photonics platforms for defence applications

Photonics is a breakthrough technology as it uses photons (smallest unit of light) as the data carrier instead of electrons (smallest unit of electricity) used in electronic ICs. As light travels at very high speeds, photonics is widely used to transfer huge amounts of data at a very high speed. …

DARPA’s DETECT developed Single photon detector (SPD) for quantum computers, communications, and submarine detection

The process of detecting light—whether with our eyes, cameras or other devices—is at the heart of a wide range of civilian and military applications, including light or laser detection and ranging (LIDAR or LADAR), photography, astronomy, quantum information processing, medical imaging, microscopy and communications, including underwater Blue-Green communications. Detection of …

Rising Merger mania, less spending on R&D driving Pentagon, defense contractors out of step on technology research and innovation

In 2018, the Department of Defense (DOD) concluded that technology advancements among potential adversaries posed growing challenges to U.S. defense capabilities, putting U.S. battlefield superiority at risk. In this environment, DOD has renewed its efforts to foster innovation and secure technological supremacy. In response , the Pentagon’s undersecretary for …

Navies testing Augmented-Reality(AR) systems onboard Warships for battlesace situation awareness, combat training and remote maintenance

Military operations are becoming increasingly diverse in their nature. To cope with new and more demanding tasks, the military has researched new tools for use during operations and during training for these operations. There have been numerous goals driving this research over the past several decades. Many of the military …
