When Timothy Grayson, special assistant to the secretary of the Air Force for mission-centered analysis and operational imperatives, considers how to best master and facilitate “system-of-systems” network technologies, he cautions that there is a ceiling to the intricacies people and organizations can grasp. “I don’t care if it’s human beings or computers. There’s a limit to […] More

The field of quantum science holds great promise for advanced quantum technologies in the future. With a wide range of applications in military operations, national security, civilian uses and defense, experts believe quantum is one of the most important tech areas we should be investing in today.  Although the quantum innovation possibilities are nearly infinite, […] More

Quantum technology has emerged as a top priority for the U.S. government in recent years. Quantum science has been foundational in areas like GPS, sensing and position, navigation and timing. Now, new applications are being identified, and quantum has the potential to be a major disruptive element in areas like defense and national security. Dr. […] More

In the last five years, the Department of Defense has reinvigorated its hypersonic weapons development efforts significantly, moving some of its most promising hypersonic concepts through to the prototyping and testing phase. Now, the Army plans to field its Long Range Hypersonic Weapon by 2023, and the Navy is scheduled to field its Conventional Prompt […] More

In the global race for hypersonic weapons and capabilities, the U.S. is undoubtedly lagging behind. For decades, the U.S. was considered a world leader in hypersonics, but in recent years, our adversaries have transitioned into fielding capabilities while we have stayed in the research and development phase. Although the U.S. is being outpaced, progress is […] More

In response to the global semiconductor chip shortage, the U.S. government is working with industry and academia to foster a more robust and capable onshore microelectronics manufacturing ecosystem. “We’re noticing an increasing reliance on specialized parts outside of the United States,” said Dr. Roy Campbell, chief strategist for the Department of Defense’s High Performance Computing Modernization […] More

The United States is in the midst of a microelectronics dilemma. Demand for semiconductor chips has skyrocketed but supply chain problems have created a drastic decline in chip manufacturing, sparking a national security issue for the U.S. “Semiconductors are essential to national security,” according to a White House supply chain report. These chips are at the […] More
