International Defense Security & Technology Your trusted Source for News, Research and Analysis
It was in the oceans that life first evolved and where complex animals have thrived for over 600 million years. Marine animals survive in environments as diverse as tropical coral reefs, polar ice-capped oceans, and the lightless abyssal depths, says Frank E. Fish from West Chester University and Donna M. …

Video virtualization and AI for near real-time actionable intelligence needed to identify and mitigate defense and security threats
Police agencies are using facial and object recognition technology for counterterrorism operations. Video footage played a key role in finding the culprits responsible for the November 2015 Paris attacks, with a CCTV video at Brussels airport used to pin down one suspect. But, the sheer volume of video content produced …

Countries developing Underwater LIDAR imaging systems for rapid wide-area anti-mine and anti-submarine operations
Currently, the most widely used technology to detect underwater objects is sound navigation and ranging (SONAR), because acoustic waves can penetrate the water depths to the bottom of the sea. SONAR also suffers from unwanted multipass echoes that are due to reflections from the surrounding terrain. Thus, high-resolution underwater imaging …

The emerging field of phonon management allow novel phononic materials and devices to control sound and heat.
The phonon is the physical particle representing mechanical vibration and is responsible for the transmission of everyday sound and heat. Understanding and controlling the phononic properties of materials provides opportunities to thermally insulate buildings, reduce environmental noise, transform waste heat into electricity and develop earthquake protection. The concept of …

Next Generation MEMS thermopile IR sensor 2.0 for Internet of Things, smart homes, environment and energy technology
In the wake of increasing electronic gadget sales, the overheating problem for battery chargers has become an increasingly common safety issue. Overheating of chargers certainly can be caused by substandard chargers, faulty batteries, or by misuse of the chargers. In worst-case scenarios the devices melt or catch fire. Unsurprisingly, this …

Russia and China testing US’s HAARP like Radar, for weather modification or jamming american submarines
The U.S. Navy and DARPA ran a facility–the High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) in Gakona, Alaska—before it was passed to the University of Alaska in 2014. HAARP was a research program to study ionosphere and its response to high frequency excitations from ground. “The official objective of the …

Generative Design is new design method that uses AI to produce optimum forms for products autonomously
Manufacturing today benefits from three waves of innovation: new production techniques (like 3-D printing), new design methods (like generative design, also driven by A.I.) and new materials, said Marco Annunziata , Co-Founder of Annunziata. These three waves of innovation are interdependent and mutually reinforcing: 3-D printing allows us to …

Worldwide race for Wonder material Graphene, in commercial, energy, aerospace and defence sectors
Graphene is a 1-atom-thick layer of tightly bonded carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice. Graphene the world’s first 2D nanomaterial, is widely regarded as the “wonder material” of the 21st century due to the combination of its extraordinary properties. As a single layer of graphite, it is the thinnest …

Hi-Resolution 4D Imaging Radar is emerging as complementary sensor to LIDAR for fully autonomous cars
Although the hardware and software technology for fully autonomous cars is ready today, the cars themselves may still be a decade or more away, vehicle experts said at the recent North American International Auto Show in Detroit. The challenge for automakers and suppliers lies in test and validation, as well …
