Horizon31 – a spin out from the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) – seeks to commercialize a system that allows users to operate drones from anywhere in the world using only an […]
The U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has issued a broad agency announcement for the Science of Atomic Vapors for New Technologies (SAVaNT) project. They are seeking technologies for the advancement of high-performance atomic […]
The Defense Department’s technology innovation unit (DIU) recently approved five U.S. companies for drone production as alternatives to Chinese-made systems. Altavian, Parrot SA, Skydio, Teal, and Vantage Robotics are now all approved to provide Airborne […]
Researchers at the University of Michigan have developed a rechargeable zinc battery that integrates into the structure of a robot to provide much more energy. The new batteries are of particular importance as robot technology […]
The U.S. Army’s Combat Capabilities Development Command (CCDC) Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C5ISR) Center has issued a Request for Information (RFI) seeking industry input on new technology allowing aircraft to […]
The U.S. Army recently tested Northrop Grumman’s Integrated Battle Command System (IBCS) to overcome “enemy” jamming and direct Patriot missiles to intercept target drones. The Patriot radar and missile battery was integrated with a pair […]
A spectrum-sharing plan will soon make 100MHz of spectrum in the 3.45-3.55GHz band – known as mid-band spectrum – available for commercial 5G networks via an auction expected by the end of this year. America’s […]
The Hyper-Angular Rainbow Polarimeter satellite – built by The Space Dynamics Laboratory (SDL) – has received the Small Satellite Mission of the Year award by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics. The HARP spacecraft […]
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 […]
