What information is available on government- and commercial-off-the-shelf, low-cost, tactical drone systems that can be deployed for counter-unmanned aerial vehicle operations?
What is the state of the art in unmanned aerial systems (UASs) for maritime intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR)?
Can information be provided to explain beamforming techniques used for active, electronically scanned array radar/beam form/beam steer?
Summary This article describes research to detect phenomena that may degrade or disrupt the performance of an otherwise fully functional sensor. Also examined are methods to potentially mitigate the effects of sensor degradation and develop…
Summary Autonomously detecting tiny, fast-moving objects emitting thermal radiation in the infrared is a challenging technical problem. In addition to being fast, these targets are often dim, small, and in the presence of clutter and…
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — In a whirling geopolitical landscape of new nuclear weapons, hypersonic weapons, drones, and satellites, the US is hustling to test new kinds of radars aimed at detecting evolving threats. Many of these…
Antenna developments for space applications have a long history at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Starting from the 1970s, Voyager; Galileo; Cassini; the Shutter Radar Topography mission; and, more recently,…
The U.S. Army Research Laboratory’s (ARL’s) Transonic Experimental Facility (TEF) is an all-purpose research firing range that has been used to investigate propulsion, materials, flight, guidance, and terminal effects across a spectrum of launch (mechanical)…
The Combat Capabilities Development Command (DEVCOM) Analysis Center (DAC) has developed the Tactical ISR [intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance] Performance Suite (TIPS), a reusable code library that encapsulates the DAC sensor performance models and behavior methodologies….
Since its inception in 2022, the Special Air Warfare Symposium (colloquially known as SAWS) has evolved into a growing event for the global special operations aviation community. In the first few years of the event…
