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 Read More
The Army Research Laboratory’s Combat Capabilities Development Command has funded a four-year, $8 million research project with The University of Illinois Chicago to build an autonomous charging system that can support swarms of drones. The Read More
The Army Cyber Institute (ACI) at Georgia Southern University recently held an all-virtual cyber exercise – Jack Voltaic™ 3.0 – which simulated a cyber-attack around the cities of Savannah, GA and Charleston, SC. To test Read More
The U.S. Army recently completed a series of live fire engagements demonstrating how artificial intelligence systems can rapidly work together to automatically detect threats, deliver targeting data, and recommend weapons responses. The engagements were a Read More
Researchers at Caltech and NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab have built a tube-launched drone that removes the standard requirements for takeoff conditions. The football-shaped foldable quadrotor is fired out of a cannon, unfolds itself, and then Read More
Researchers from the department of Materials Science and Engineering at the University of North Texas have received a $780,000 grant from the Army Research Laboratory to study the combustion engines used in aerial Army drones. Read More
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 Read More
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 Read More
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 Read More
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 Read More
