The promise of fusion – a potentially game-changing source of low-cost, abundant energy – is constrained by a number of challenges, central among them the lack of materials that can withstand the extreme environments created in fusion reactions. Now $3.1 million in funding from the Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) OPEN…
PETERSON SPACE FORCE BASE, Colorado – Space Operations Command has accepted Space Based Infrared System Geosynchronous satellite 5 as operationally capable and has presented it to United States Space Command for operational use. SBIRS GEO-5 launched from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Florida, on May 18, 2021. Since launch, experts from the satellite’s builder Lockheed-Martin, contract…
“The use of autonomy and artificial intelligence will play an increasingly vital role in military operations in such places as the Middle East, where U.S. forces no longer have a sizeable military presence,” an Army general said. On Feb. 17, 2022, the Senate unanimously confirmed Lt. Gen. Michael E. Kurilla’s nomination to lead U.S. Central…
“The Defense Department is working hard on developing both hypersonic offensive and defensive capabilities. But in the immediate future, one of the most important areas to be developed is increasing the capacity at which such systems can be produced,” said Gillian Bussey, director of the Joint Hypersonics Transition Office. “I would say that everything we’re…
The Defense Systems Information Analysis Center (DSIAC) is seeking air-to-ground imagery datasets that can be used by DoD researchers in in AI/ML algorithm development efforts. We are open to any available datasets that have any of the following attributes, listed in order of importance: Air to Ground Medium Wavelength Infrared (MWIR) Long Wavelength Infrared (LWIR)…
This webinar addresses the design, testing, and evaluation of an integrated and holistic framework for integrity management of manufacturing components/systems/processes seeking to improve productivity and product quality while reducing the logistics footprint. Traditional maintenance practices in government and industry have been mostly reactive in addressing needs for “fix it when broken” or “fix it in…

The Defense Systems Information Analysis Center (DSIAC) is seeking information for cellphone detection systems in rugged terrain and their cost, federal use, and points of contact. The options for such a system should include a stand-off of 50-75 meters, a fixed location, and unmanned aerial vehicle payloads (no further data requirements are needed). If you…
