The Office of the Deputy Chief Technology Officer for Critical Technologies (DCTO(CT)), within the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering (USD(R&E)) recently published its 1st quarter 2023 Critical Technologies Newsletter. CT 1st QUARTER NEWSLETTER_2023
With the recent release of the Security Forces NextGen Helmet 2.0 by the Air Force Security Forces Center, the Defense Systems Information Analysis Center (DSIAC) was asked to determine if there are emerging materials/technologies for rifle-rated helmets. The currently available lightweight polyethylene (PE) ballistic shells are usually rated IIIA by the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) and are tested to stop up to 124-grain, 9-mm…

Military and commercial vehicles operate in varied electromagnetic (EM) environments, which affect their onboard electrical/electronic systems. Lightning, electromagnetic pulse (EMP), and high-power microwave energy can cause detrimental effects. Although circuit architecture is used to mitigate some of these effects, a sure way is to place the sensitive electronics within a “Faraday cage.” Traditional methods rely…
