Student Teams Compete in Service Academies Swarm Challenge – with GTRI Assistance

What does the future of air-to-air combat sound like? At this point, it could sound very much like a swarm of angry bees. That”s how researcher Michael Day described the recent DARPA Service Academies Swarm Challenge, which pitted mixed groups of up to 25 highly autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) on a side against one

Dragonfire: the Road to Battlefield Ready Laser Weaponry

Directed energy weapons are fast shaping up to be the ‘must-have’ arms for the mid-21st century, and while developments in the US may have stolen much of the limelight in recent years, every military worth its salt is working towards bringing DEW capability into service. Of all the potential approaches to energy weaponry, arguably none

Taking the Guesswork out of Designing Extremely Complex Military Systems

Computational models and simulations can be enormously helpful when designing complex military systems such as new aerospace vehicles and engines, reducing development costs and times. However, realistic, high-fidelity models require enormous amounts of computing power in order to be able to accommodate all of the different factors that may affect predictive accuracy. To mitigate this
