The US Air Force has awarded a Small Business Innovation Research Program (SBIR) Phase II contract to Trueface – a developer of computer vision systems – to provide facial recognition, license plate recognition, and weapon […]
The US Air Force (USAF) has selected L3Harris Technologies and Northrop Grumman to demonstrate new electronic warfare (EW) prototypes, along with technology for the protection from radar threats, for the F-16 Fighting Falcon. As part […]
The US Department of Energy’s (DOE) Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) recently announced up to $43 million is now available in funding to develop carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies. Funding will enable power generators […]
NanoAvionics has received a contract to provide its flight-proven nano-satellite bus in a 12U configuration for the Singaporean research mission, “Cathode-Less Micro Propulsion Satellite” (CaLeMPSat). CaLeMPSat will occupy more than 9U of payload volume. To […]
Researchers at the University of Colorado are developing low-cost, high-performance, aqueous flow battery technology that potentially will lead to scalable grid-level storage for wind and solar energy. They use chromium – which is abundant in […]
Researchers at UCLA have used Artificial Intelligence (AI) to turn two-dimensional (2D) images into stacks of virtual three-dimensional (3D) slices that show the activity inside organisms. Using deep learning techniques, the team devised a technique […]
The U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has awarded separate $1.6 million contracts to Raytheon BBN Technologies Corp. and Signature Science LLC for the development of new kinds of biological sensors that can detect […]
The Midwest’s first National Guard cyber battalion will be established in Indiana this year – with plans to be at full operational capability by 2022. The 127th Cyber Battalion will be composed of nearly 100 […]
Sandia National Laboratories, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, and the Georgia Institute of Technology are partnering to launch a virtual research center that will combine hardware design and software development to improve artificial intelligence technologies. The […]
Researchers at MIT have developed a system that can sense tiny changes in shadows on the ground that could help autonomous vehicles determine if there’s a moving object coming around the corner. Successful experiments have […]
