DoD Will Deploy AI-Enabled Detection System to Monitor D.C. Airspace

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,”…

Notable Technical Inquiry

What pod-based solutions are available for electronics support or signals intelligence systems on a fixed wing aircraft?

The Defense Systems Information Analysis Center (DSIAC) is seeking information on pod -based solutions for electronics support or signals intelligence systems capable of operations on a fixed wing aircraft. Capabilities in frequencies spanning anywhere from high-frequency to Ka-bands are of interest for areas like direction-finding, geo-location, survey, and active effects. The system should adhere to the following limitations: Technical readiness level 6 or higher Total…

What research is available on replacing conventional graphite in lithium-ion batteries with silicon oxycarbide?

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 about graphite’s rate performance and low conductivity have spurred research…
