The US Army and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a smart clothing fiber that could transform uniforms into wearable computers. The electronic textiles could be used to power sensors; collect data on […]
An international team of researchers from the ARC Centre of Excellence for Transformative Meta-Optical Systems (TMOS), the Australian national University (ANU), Nottingham Trent University, and the University of New South Wales (UNSW) have developed a […]
South Korea’s Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI) has developed a sensor that can withstand heavy radiation and detect differences in pressure and temperature. The flexible film-like sensor is made of composite materials including graphene; […]
US Army Communications-Electronics Command at Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD has asked four battery companies to compete to build the Conformal Wearable Battery (CWB) which will power a variety of wearable computers, sensors, and communications devices. […]
The U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command’s Army Research Laboratory is working with researchers at Duke University and the University of North Carolina on a new form of robotics called “biohybrids.” Biohybrid robots would use […]
Researchers from the Universities of Birmingham, Oxford, and Ghent are working on a new process that could lead to more efficient and reusable protection from shock, impact, explosion, and vibration. Dan Zhao, an expert in […]
The U.S. Army’s new Enhanced Night Vision Goggle-Binocular (ENVG-B) goggles will provide the Army’s close combat forces with “an extra capability to observe and maneuver in all weather conditions, through obscurants, during limited visibility, and […]
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 […]
