An artificial intelligence-powered airspace monitoring system is set to be installed to enhance protection of the nation’s capital with the potential to scale across other Defense Department and U.S. government installations and systems. “The upgraded visual recognition, identification, and warning system delivers a tenfold increase in performance capability compared to the 9/11-era system it replaces,”…
The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) conceptualizes ultra low-cost unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) – often called “small UAS” (sUAS) – as both a threat to its operations and an opportunity for force multiplication. Counter-sUAS (C-sUAS) operations have become an organizational and financial priority for the Pentagon. While both DoD and individual military personnel have also long been interested in the positive use cases for very…

The Defense Systems Information Analysis Center (DSIAC) is seeking information on who is using the MS3314 suspension lug in the U.S government and industry. The MS3314 suspension lug is designed for all-service use by the U.S. Air Force, Army, Marine Corps, and Navy for aircraft and ordnance. Known to be utilized with munitions/armament/bombs, the MS3314 may also be used for other carriage applications such as…

Beside a 50-foot-deep pool, a 300-foot metal tower rises into the air at Sandia New Mexico. Cables and a vertical guided trolley attached to the tower allow personnel to hoist objects to varying heights so they can watch them fall at Sandia’s Drop Tower and Water Impact test facility. Built in late ’50s and early ’60s, the site has been used for impact testing on…

KIRTLAND AFB, N.M. (AFRL) – The Air Force Research Laboratory, or AFRL, launched the Space Power InfraRed Regulation and Analysis of Lifetime, or SPIRRAL, experiment, Nov. 4, 2024. SPIRRAL, flown by AFRL through the DoD Space Test Program, will characterize the performance of Variable Emissivity Materials, or VEMs, an approach toward solving thermal challenges for space vehicles while on-orbit. VEMs are surface finishes that act…

As digital communication grows, the electromagnetic spectrum (EMS) is becoming increasingly crowded. Novel solutions for how the United States can effectively share the spectrum are critical to national objectives, several of which were outlined in the November 2023 Presidential Memorandum on Modernizing United States Spectrum Policy and Establishing a National Spectrum Strategy. Researchers from the National Strategic Research Institute (NSRI) at the University of Nebraska…

Acoustic metamaterials—architected materials that have tailored geometries designed to control the propagation of acoustic or elastic waves through a medium—have been studied extensively through computational and theoretical methods, but physical realizations of these materials to date have been restricted to large sizes and low frequencies. A new study, which is coauthored by Portela, MIT Mechanical Engineering collaborators Rachel Sun, Jet Lem, and Yun Kai, and…
