The Defense Department has announced another package of security assistance for Ukraine, which will include additional High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS), ammunition, and a substantial number of Phoenix Ghost unmanned aerial systems. This latest package includes about $175 million in equipment pulled from existing U.S. military stocks through presidential drawdown authority and $95 million…
The Defense Systems Information Analysis Center (DSIAC) was tasked with determining the extent of energetics additive manufacturing (AM) research and development capabilities in Europe. DSIAC searched available resources for any projects or research being performed by universities or defense organizations in Europe that involve the three-dimensional printing of energetic munitions, explosives, propellants, or rocket engines. There were a few organizations and universities that had…

This four-day Military Standard 810 (MIL-STD 810) training focuses on the purpose of each test, the equipment required to perform each test, and the methodology to correctly apply the specified test environments. This class applies to ANY testing done to environmental test standards, including DO-160, IEC specifications, and all other documents that provide test methodology…
This three-day training in the fundamentals of random vibration and shock testing covers all the information required to plan, perform, and interpret the results of all types of dynamic testing. Some of the additional areas covered are fixture design, field data measurement and interpretation, evolution of test standards, and HALT/HASS processes. This class applies to…

This article presents a standardized technique to evaluate the navigation performance (position, velocity, and principal axes) of an airborne system and develop an efficient methodology to define the number of target data points to process during the planning phases of testing.
The composition of different types of terrains and presence of a variety of objects and artifacts in a real environment are always evolving.
The 2022 National Defense Strategy directs the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) to urgently act to strengthen the U.S. military against its pacing challenge—the People’s Republic of China (PRC).
Marine and aerospace vessels have stringent flammability requirements, defined through the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) E1354 Cone Calorimetry standard [1], to protect those onboard Navy vessels in case of fire emergencies.
Amidst the crashing surf of a remote coastline, two U.S. Navy sailors clad in black wetsuits and protective helmets carry the MK18 Mod 1 Swordfish unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV) toward the open ocean
