U.S. Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Charles Q. Brown Jr. spoke today at the State of Defense conference on DefenseOne.com. Regarding hypersonic threats from adversaries, Brown said, “We want to make sure we have not only that capability, but the capacity. There’s a balance between having a hypersonic capability, but it’s all the other…
The Defense Systems Information Analysis Center (DSIAC) was asked if there are viable pathfinder tools that can compute optimized evasion paths for friendly mobile air, ground, and sea under threat by hostile laser or radio frequency (RF), directed energy weapons (DEW) systems. The inquirer also wanted to know if there are any software algorithms that can calculate environmental effects (e.g., terrain, man-made structures, foliage, atmospheric…
