DefenceTalkDefenceTalkOver the past few decades, computers have seen dramatic progress in processing power; however, even the most advanced computers are relatively rudimentary in comparison with the complexities and capabilities of the human brain. Researchers at the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command’s Army Research Laboratory say this may be changing as they endeavor to design […]https://www.defencetalk.com/researchers-discover-unique-material-design-for-brain-like-computations-75762/

DefenceTalkCitadel Defense, a proven innovator in full spectrum counter drone solutions, has released new software incorporating deepfake neural networks to protect against adversarial spoofing tactics. This capability helps U.S. and allied forces combat growing enemy tactics that attempt to confuse existing security intelligence equipment as electronic warfare escalates. Citadel was the first company to use […]https://www.defencetalk.com/citadel-defense-launches-deepfake-ai-to-prevent-drone-attacks-on-military-and-government-assets-75664/

DefenceTalkService members at U.S. Indo-Pacific Command headquarters in Hawaii recently tested a prototype DARPA system designed to help military analysts and planners determine if observed events – such as increased force movements, cyber intrusions, and civil unrest – are unconnected occurrences, or if they’re part of an adversary’s coordinated campaign to achieve strategic objectives in […]https://www.defencetalk.com/darpa-demonstrates-competition-tool-at-combatant-command-74881/

DefenceTalkArtificial intelligence possesses the capacity to achieve incredible results, but cannot always work alone. Researchers identified two key components in successful human-machine collaboration that may enhance how the U.S. Army will fight in the future. To achieve dominance in what is known as multi-domain operations, warfighters will need a layered intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, or […]https://www.defencetalk.com/us-army-researchers-enhance-ai-critical-to-soldier-machine-teamwork-74507/

For many, normal facial recognition — used in the daylight — has become a facet of everyday life. Whether it’s for identity verification to unlock a smart phone, or trivial social media camera filters — it seems the technology is everywhere. However, at the U.S. Combat Capabilities Development Command Army Research Laboratory just outside of […]

The greater use of artificial intelligence (AI) and autonomous systems by the militaries of the world has the potential to affect deterrence strategies and escalation dynamics in crises and conflicts. Up until now, deterrence has involved humans trying to dissuade other humans from taking particular courses of action. What happens when the thinking and decision […]

The Defence and Security Accelerator (DASA) has announced the first wave of £4 million funding. The funding aims to revolutionize the way warships make decisions and process thousands of strands of intelligence and data by using Artificial Intelligence (A.I.). Nine projects will share an initial £1 million to develop technology and innovative solutions to overcome […]

Think of it as a celestial parlor game: What is the minimum number of satellites needed to see every point on Earth? And how might those satellites stay in orbit and maintain continuous 24/7 coverage while contending with Earth’s gravity field, its lumpy mass, the pull of the sun and moon, and pressure from solar […]
