Northrop AAQ-37 Sensor System Demos Hostile Fire Detection Capability
Northrop Grumman Corporation’s AN/AAQ-37 Electro-Optical Distributed Aperture System (DAS), developed for the F-35 Lightning II, has added hostile ground fire detection to its capabilities by successfully detecting and locating tanks that were firing live rounds during preparations for a military exercise. While being flown on Northrop Grumman’s BAC 1-11 test aircraft, the DAS detected and [...]
Israel to Begin Using Advanced Missile Detection System
The Air Defense Formation’s new system will operate more precisely than the current systems – detecting 99% of incoming missiles, while minimizing false alarms Two months after the end of operation Pillar of Defense, the Air Defense Formation continues to advance its capabilities in defending Israel against missile threats. In one such development, the existing [...]
Project Gives Computers a More Powerful Way to Detect Threats
UT Dallas computer scientists have developed a technique to automatically allow one computer in a virtual network to monitor another for intrusions, viruses or anything else that could cause a computer to malfunction. The technique has been dubbed “space travel” because it sends computer data to a world outside its home, and bridges the gap [...]
R.A.T.S. research may teach rodents to detect explosives
A rat may never be man’s best friend, but the Rugged Automated Training System research sponsored by scientists with the U.S. Army Research Laboratory, in collaboration with engineers at West Point and the Counter Explosives Hazards Center, will determine if and how these animals can be trained to save Soldiers’ lives. In July, Barron Associates [...]
Navy Minehunting Fleet Upgraded with Improved Sonar Detection Capability
Engineers from the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Panama City, Fla., completed the first installation of the AN/SQQ-32(V)4 minehunting sonar set upgrade on USS Guardian (MCM 5) April 18, in the ship’s homeport of Sasebo, Japan. The minehunting sonar set is designed to meet the modern challenges of mine detection and classification and is a high-frequency [...]
Smart gas sensors for better chemical detection
Portable gas sensors can allow you to search for explosives, diagnose medical conditions through a patient’s breath, and decide whether it’s safe to stay in a mine. These devices do all this by identifying and measuring airborne chemicals, and a new, more sensitive, smart model is under development at the University of Michigan. The smart [...]
Bio-Terror & Infectious Disease Outbreak: Detection Technologies and Global Markets 2012
The US Bipartisan Bio-Detection 2011 Report Card Status Evaluation Events of the recent decade confirm that the threats of bio-terrorism and infectious disease outbreaks are real. Attacks such as the 2001 Anthrax scare, the 2004 Ricin letters and the 2003 SARS and 2009 H1N1 outbreaks have driven governments to increase their bio-surveillance budgets. Public healthcare [...]
Army lab developing gas ‘plume’ detection system to protect Soldiers, first responders
A wind monitoring and modeling system being developed by the Army Research Laboratory’s, or ARL, White Sands Missile Range, or WSMR, division could one day protect Soldiers and civilians alike from weapons of mass destruction. The Local-Rapid Evaluation of Atmospheric Conditions, or L-REAC, system is a computerized weather sensor system under development at ARL intended [...]
Satellite imagery detects thermal “uplift” signal of underground nuclear tests
A new analysis of satellite data from the late 1990s documents for the first time the “uplift” of ground above a site of underground nuclear testing, providing researchers a potential new tool for analyzing the strength of detonation. The study has just been published in Geophysical Research Letters. Lead author Paul Vincent, a geophysicist at [...]
