A 10-day qualification testing of the SpaceX Starship Human Landing System’s docking system was recently performed at NASA’s Johnson Space Center to ensure the safety of astronauts who will fly to the moon during the Artemis III mission. The Starship is designed to dock with the lunar Gateway space station, where the spacecraft will wait […]
Drew Epperson, vice president for federal engineering at Palo Alto Networks and a 4×24 member, said the lack of integration in cyber technologies causes the federal government to spend about $20 billion annually to procure services that make cyber products interoperable. Some cyber companies developed cybersecurity platforms that offer integrated features, unified policies and stability, […]
The Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity has awarded Peraton a contract to validate cyberpsychology-based defenses under the Reimagining Security with Cyberpsychology-Informed Network Defenses program. According to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, ReSCIND, expected to run for four years, aims to identify the decision-making biases and cognitive vulnerabilities of cyber actors and use […]
The U.S. Space Force is planning to expand a pilot program designed to test a new unit integration model that puts operations, sustainment and acquisition under a single command. Implementation of the Integrated Mission Delta concept is ongoing within two Space Force mission areas, namely positioning, navigation and timing and electronic warfare. Citing the efficiency […]
DeepSig and Viettel High Technology Industries have tested the potential of artificial intelligence-enabled neural receiver software to improve 5G connectivity. In partnership with Viettel, DeepSig integrated its OmniPHY-5G software into VHT’s Distributed Unit equipment based on 5G open virtualized radio access network architecture. According to Jim Shea, CEO at DeepSig and a 4×24 member, the […]
Oak Ridge National Laboratory has developed a human-artificial intelligence collaboration recommender system to improve how machine learning algorithms use data during experiments. The system uses a human-in-the-loop approach in identifying significant data sets for research and development. With the technology, researchers will be provided with data set suggestions based on their activities and the capability […]
Boldyn Networks has equipped the U.S. Army Fort Jackson base with a 5G wireless network, providing connectivity to nearly 100,000 military members and their families. Brig. Gen. Jason Kelley, commanding general of the Army Training Center and Fort Jackson, said the 5G network boosts the base’s communications capabilities to improve mission readiness and quality of […]
The Federal Communications Commission is set to vote on a voluntary cybersecurity labeling program for internet of things devices on March 14. Under the program, manufacturers of products that rely on internet connectivity, such as home security cameras, voice-activated shopping devices and garage door openers, can opt to undergo FCC evaluation to determine whether their […]
The Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity has awarded six organizations research contracts to develop sensing platforms that can detect and identify aerosol-based chemical threats in complex environments. The contract awardees are Detect-Ion, Signature Science, Virginia Tech, the University of Colorado-Boulder, SRI International and Leidos. The multiyear research and development effort is part of the newly […]
