Florida Atlantic University's Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute has partnered with Blue Ops to bring uncrewed maritime systems operations to the 144-acre deep-water port. The partnership will focus on research, development, testing, training, and collaboration in ocean technology, autonomous systems, and national defense.
Researcher Samik Bhattacharya is studying bird movements to develop quieter and more agile drones. By analyzing the flight patterns of pigeons and magpies, his team aims to create drones that can land safely and quietly in various environments.
A University of Houston engineer developed a real-time safety system for quadrotor drones that can prevent accidents caused by unexpected events. The new technology uses a 'safety supervisor' module to monitor the drone's tilt and position in real time, ensuring it stays within safety limits.
The DEEP Institute at ESMT Berlin is expanding CDL with a new Defense Stream to address the gap between innovation and practical application in the defense sector. The program supports science-based startups developing dual-use technologies, providing access to an international network of experts.
Researchers found that composite metal foam can withstand repeated heavy loads even at temperatures of 400 and 600 degrees Celsius. The material's high strength-to-weight ratio makes it suitable for applications such as aircraft wings, vehicle armor, and nuclear power technologies.
Researchers at the University of Cincinnati are developing drones that can optimize wind in real time using a principle called dynamic soaring, inspired by albatrosses. The project aims to turn wind into an advantage for drones, reducing energy loss and increasing efficiency.
Researchers have developed a new laser device smaller than a penny that can conduct extremely fast and accurate measurements by precisely changing its color across a broad spectrum of light. The laser has applications ranging from guiding autonomous vehicles to detecting gravitational waves, a delicate experiment to observe our universe.
Researchers have developed a new sensor to detect hazardous gas leaks in lithium-ion batteries, which could prevent catastrophic failures and enhance the reliability of battery-powered technologies. The sensor detects trace amounts of ethylene carbonate vapour, targeting potential battery failures before they escalate into disasters.
A UMass Amherst-led team developed biofilm-resistant glass using UV radiation, which prevents biofilm formation on surfaces in underwater environments. The technology can be used for various applications, including disinfection of transparent surfaces like windows and camera lenses.
Researchers at University of Missouri are developing software that allows drones to fly independently, perceiving and interacting with their environment while achieving specific goals. This technology has the potential to assist in mapping and monitoring applications, such as 3D or 4D advanced imagery for disaster response.
Researchers at Rice University are developing a machine learning framework to improve decision-making processes in military communication networks. The goal is to enable rapid, adaptive action across a broad range of scenarios by combining local data in the most effective manner.
Researchers from Korea Maritime and Ocean University have developed a way to synthesize high-performance functionally graded materials with minimized defects. By controlling the mixing gradient of component materials, they improved mechanical properties and eliminated interfacial cracks.
Researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison have discovered a new mechanism for bending metals that challenges previous understanding. By creating narrow bands with an amorphous configuration, they found that certain materials can bend without fracturing, potentially leading to stronger and more durable military vehicles.
RIT's Center for Integrated Manufacturing Studies has developed an asset health management system that continuously monitors vehicle health through remote sensors and satellite communications. The system diagnoses problems, recommends repairs, and aggregates data to optimize fleet performance.
