Researchers at the U.S. Army Research Laboratory and the Center for Nanoscale Materials at Argonne National Laboratory have developed a new class of plasma-treated aluminum nanoparticles to be used to improve future explosive weapon systems. […]
U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has awarded contracts for its High Enthalpy Aperture Technology (HEAT) project. HEAT will develop rugged RF radomes and infrared windows that will be able to withstand the extreme […]
The US Army plans to conduct field-testing as early as 2024 of THOR – Tactical High Power Operational Responder – a new microwave weapon designed to protect military bases from incoming drones. An on-site demonstration […]
US Army researchers – working with MIT’s Center for Bits and Atoms – have created a new way to link materials with unique mechanical properties that have the possibility of building military robots made of robots. The […]
The Army Natick Soldier Systems Center in Natick, Massachusetts recently released a request for information (RIF) for the development of exoskeleton technologies to improve soldier performance in the areas of strength, endurance, and ergonomics – while […]
Researchers at Pusan National University and the University of Alabama have developed a small, light, and low-cost deployable antenna for CubeSats that use state-of-the-art communications systems – such as 6G communications. Basing their work on […]
Researchers at Seoul National University in South Korea are working on a new cloaking “skin,” that will enable wearers to camouflage themselves in the daytime and barely show up on thermal cameras at night. The […]
A microwave radiation sensor with 100,000 times higher sensitivity than currently available commercial sensors has recently been developed. The Army partially funded the work to fabricate this bolometer – a sensitive electrical instrument for measuring […]
Researchers in the Biotechnology Research and Development Lab at the U.S. Navy’s Naval Surface Warfare Center have been issued a 20-year patent for a 3D-printable material made of a marine-biodegradable base polymer. Using a combination […]
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 […]
