The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) recently issued broad agency announcements for three initiatives aimed at improving synthetic aperture radar (SAR) technology in satellites. As SAR sensors rely on radar, they can produce images […]
Teledyne FLIR Defense has introduced a new Lightweight Vehicle Surveillance System (LVSS) which can be mounted on a full-sized commercial pickup truck to act as a mobile surveillance system to counter drone swarms. The LVSS […]
The Air Force Research Laboratory Directed Energy Directorate is seeking partners for the High Power Electromagnetics (HPEM) Empirical Effects project. HPEM will perform vulnerability testing on several electronic systems to help determine the effectiveness of […]
The U.S. Navy recently successfully tested the Lockheed Martin LLD (Layered Laser Defense) system by tracking and shooting down an aerial target representing a subsonic cruise missile in flight. The test was sponsored by the […]
DARPA’s Microsystems Technology Office (MTO) has released a broad-agency announcement seeking enabling technologies in areas not currently addressed by MTO programs. The MTO is involved in the creation of compact microelectronics components – such as […]
The U.S. Army’s Research Laboratory has awarded GE a $5.1 million research and development contract for the Applied Research Collaborative Systematic Turboshaft Electrification Project (ARC-STEP). ARC-STEP seeks to advance hybrid electric engine technology. The project […]
Researchers at the Charles Stark Draper Laboratory have developed new techniques to ruggedize electro-optical components for assured positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) systems that are required to operate in environments with challenges such as extreme […]
Researchers at the University of California, Irvine are using machine learning in an attempt to transform night vision from its current monochromatic black-and-green to actual colors. Color night vision would be of benefit to the […]
One of the top priorities for the Army’s electronic warfare community is gaining a better understanding of how passive sensors can be used on the battlefield. At a recent Cyber Quest experimentation event, the Army conducted […]
The US Air Force’s Air Combat Command has created a new information warfare (IW) training and research detachment aimed at improving the way the service prepares personnel to conduct operations. According to a statement, the […]
