Reconfigurable RF and Microwave Gear for Radar, EW, SIGINT, and Communications

U.S. Army RF and microwave researchers are surveying industry for technologies that could enable reconfigurable multi-function systems able to switch quickly between radar, electronic warfare (EW), signals intelligence (SIGINT), and communications. Officials of the Army Contracting Command issued a request for information (W56KGU-18-X-0002) for the Reconfigurable Multi-Function System Capabilities project. The Army Contracting Command issued

Virtual Reality for Defense Less About ‘Reality’ Than Results

From audiences ducking to ‘avoid’ moving objects on the screen to gamers suffering motion sickness when using the latest headsets, the gap between reality and simulation is slowly disappearing. The defence world has identified the benefits of this. The market is teeming with solutions that exploit VR for military operations, primarily in order to benefit

UK Sees Progress in Autonomous Military Plans

Tech companies are seizing opportunities under MoD’s new drive for intelligent logistics solutions. The rise of advanced autonomous technologies is providing new opportunities for tech companies to engage with the defence sector. Recognising the potential of intelligent systems to the warfighter, the Ministry of Defence is seeing promising results from its Defence and Security Accelerator

A Data Tool Could Automate Maintenance of Army’s Most Critical Assets

The Army says it is making headway with an innovative data-processing technique meant to automate maintenance and support of vehicle inventories and weapons systems. The parametric data reduction tool, PaDRT, is a product of the U.S. Army Communications-Electronics Research, Development And Engineering Center (CERDEC) and Penn State University’s Applied Research Laboratory. After four years in

Solar Drone Capable of Quasi-Perpetual Flight Tested in the Arctic

Researchers testing cutting-edge unmanned aerial vehicle technology went to the 24 hours a day sunlight of Greenland to power ‘perpetual’ solar drone flights. The main goal of the project from the manufacturer’s perspective was to find a practical application of a solar-powered drone that could fly indefinitely, as there’d been few real-world uses. To partial

Solar Material for Producing Clean Hydrogen Fuel

Osaka University researchers create new material based on gold and black phosphorus to produce clean hydrogen fuel using the full spectrum of sunlight. Global climate change and the energy crisis mean that alternatives to fossil fuels are urgently needed. Among the cleanest low-carbon fuels is hydrogen, which can react with oxygen to release energy, emitting

New Nanomaterial Can Extract Hydrogen Fuel from Seawater

It”s possible to produce hydrogen to power fuel cells by extracting the gas from seawater, but the electricity required to do it makes the process costly. UCF researcher Yang Yang has come up with a new hybrid nanomaterial that harnesses solar energy and uses it to generate hydrogen from seawater more cheaply and efficiently than

Air Force Opens AFWerX Facility Near Las Vegas

The Air Force is taking a page out of Special Operations Command”s rapid acquisition book to launch its own technology accelerator program, as it works to find cutting-edge and affordable solutions to various technology challenges, the service secretary said Sept. 27. “We just set up our first AFwerX” between Nellis Air Force Base and the
