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…

The Defense Systems Information Analysis Center was asked to identify organizations and publications performing research in using amorphous silicon oxycarbide (SiOC) to replace conventional graphite in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Graphite is commonly used as a material for anodes in LIBs because of its fast-charging properties, high specific energy densities, and long life cycles. However, concerns…
The Defense Systems Information Analysis Center (DSIAC) is seeking state-of-the-art information on long-wave infrared (LWIR) materials for windows and sensor shields, especially those containing germanium (Ge), chalcogenide-based systems (S, Se, Te), etc.. If you have any information to support this request, or know any Subject Matter Experts in this area, please contact Dan Lissimore (william.d.lissimore.ctr@army.mil), the lead…
