The Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity has launched a program to enhance the monitoring of small space debris. IARPA Program Manager Alexis Truitt was selected to lead the four-year Space Debris Identification and Tracking program, which was created in view of the risks centimeter- and millimeter-sized orbital junk pose to operational space assets and space […]
The Department of Defense is seeking new weapons that can counter swarms of low-cost, artificial-intelligence-enabled unmanned systems, which increasingly threaten U.S. forces worldwide. Heidi Shyu, undersecretary of defense for research and engineering, issued a need statement in May asking the industry to help build weapons that can defeat drone swarms by undermining their detection and […]
The Consortium for Additive Manufacturing Research and Education has demonstrated the capability of a 3D printer to produce a medical cast while in flight. CAMRE operated the printer, called the Advanced Manufacturing Operational System, on board a U.S. Marine Corps MV-22 Osprey tiltrotor aircraft while engaged in various ground and flight modes, including taxi, takeoff […]
Artificial intelligence has the potential to improve the learning process for K-12 and higher education students, according to Tim Boltz, the director of education technology strategy at Carahsoft and a 4×24 member. He encouraged educators to adapt to the changing needs of students by employing AI in their teaching process. He noted that existing AI […]
Five Department of Veterans Affairs medical facilities have started a study to determine whether artificial intelligence can help diagnose aggressive high-risk prostate cancer, which is likely to spread to other body parts. The Predicting Metastatic Progression of High-Risk Localized Prostate Cancer study aims to create an AI algorithm trained using diagnostic images, high-resolution scans of […]
The Government Accountability Office has urged the Pentagon to create department-wide artificial intelligence acquisition guidance to avoid unnecessary AI procurements and provide military services a framework for developing complementary guidance to address their specific needs. A new GAO report said some Department of Defense components have developed informal AI acquisition-related resources; however, they do not […]
