Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University have designed a novel method that allows drones to learn perception and action separately. This two-stage approach overcomes the “simulation-to-reality gap,” and creates a way to move drones from a […]
The US Army’s Management Office-Cyber (DAMO-Cy) has become the DAMO-Strategic Operations (DAMO-SO), running under its G3/5/7 operations and planning directorate. The team will focus on the digital modernization of warfighting systems – including tactical edge […]
Battery tech startup NanoGraf – formerly known as SiNode Systems – has received a $1.65 million SBIR grant from the U.S. Department of Defense to develop longer-lasting batteries that will provide better portable power for […]

The NAVAIR Cyber Warfare Detachment (CWD) of the Naval Air Systems Command has submitted a broad agency announcement (BAA) soliciting technical and cost proposals for research into technology platforms that are relevant to its strategy […]
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) and Tyvak Nano-Satellite Systems, Inc. have formed a cooperative research and development agreement (CRADA) to develop innovative, compact, and robust telescopes for nanosatellites. The project will combine LLNL’s Monolithic Telescope […]
The U.S. Navy has awarded a fixed-price-incentive-firm-target contract to L3Harris Technologies Unmanned Maritime Systems division to design and manufacture a single prototype Medium Unmanned Surface Vehicle (MUSV). Contract options allow for the purchase of up […]
Researchers at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) in Israel have developed a system that will determine how to pinpoint the location of a drone operator who may be operating maliciously near airports or protected […]
iRocket – a New York based startup building autonomous small reusable rockets – has signed a Phase II RAPID Other Transaction Agreement contract with the U.S. Air Force to transport micro, nano, cube, and other […]
The US Air Force will be working with AI start-up, Hypergiant, to build prototypes of a network of small satellites in Low Earth Orbit (LEO), named the “Chameleon Constellation.” The network’s machine learning/AI capabilities will […]
