Darpa Seeks More Robust Military Wireless Networks
Wireless Network Defense program seeks to develop new technologies to help make wireless networks more resilient to unforeseen scenarios and malicious compromise In areas lacking trustworthy communications infrastructure, deployed servicemembers rely on wireless devices to perform double duty: they not only provide access to the network; they are the network. Protocols for these networks require [...]
X-47B Demos Precision, Wireless Ground Handling
Northrop Grumman Corporation (NOC) and the U.S. Navy have taken a first critical step toward demonstrating that the X-47B Unmanned Combat Air System (UCAS) demonstrator can be maneuvered safely and wirelessly on the crowded deck of an aircraft carrier. In early November, the team successfully completed its first shore-based trials of a new wireless, handheld [...]
Army Researchers Link Ground Robots Wirelessly
Four U.S. Army Research Laboratory researchers have developed an algorithm that will make it easier for the Department of Defense to maintain wirelessly networked Army PackBots and other military assets using radio communications. The team recently demonstrated they could map the region of good connectivity to a radio base station using received signal strength, or [...]
Raytheon Pioneers Wireless Integration of Weapons on French Rafale
Raytheon Company successfully demonstrated a wireless method of integrating its combat-proven Enhanced Paveway II precision-guided bomb on the French Navy Rafale aircraft. Called WiPAK, the avionics kit enables integration of Paveway on a variety of aircraft without any modifications to aircraft wiring or changes to the flight and stores management software. “With WiPAK, warfighters can [...]
Army scientists explore wireless power transfer
The American Soldier is equipped with more capabilities than ever before. These capabilities come in the form of new and more powerful devices that translate to a need for more power. Currently, power is supplied to the dismounted Soldier through a collection of batteries, many of them rechargeable. A focus of Army Science and Technology [...]
Raytheon Develops Wireless Integration For Combat-Proven Enhanced Paveway
Raytheon has completed testing and development of a new wireless method of integrating its combat-proven Enhanced Paveway precision-guided bomb on aircraft. The new integration tool, called WiPak, uses wireless technology similar to what is being used in many consumer wireless devices such as tablet computers. WiPak consists of a small wireless transmitter and pilot interface [...]
MONAX Communications System Integrated with Air Force Base Network
Military commanders may soon have the ability to access the full range of smartphone applications anywhere on their installations with the Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) MONAX 3G wireless communications system. Lockheed Martin recently demonstrated the ability to successfully integrate MONAX to the legacy voice and data communications deployable infrastructure with the 3rd Combat Communications Group, [...]
US Army Pacific unit goes wireless during exercise
The U.S. Army Pacific Contingency Command Post went wireless March 28 during its certification exercise, or CERTEX, at Clark Air Base, Philippines. The Contingency Command Post, or CCP, is conducting its CERTEX before the command post exercise during Balikitan 2011, a bilateral exercise held annually in the Philippines between U.S. and Philippine forces. The CCP [...]
Transmitting Data And Power Wirelessly Through Submarine Hulls
Steel walls are no match for Tristan Lawry. The doctoral student at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute has developed and demonstrated an innovative new system that uses ultrasound to simultaneously transmit large quantities of data and power wirelessly through thick metal walls, like the hulls of ships and submarines. Lawry, a student in the Department of Electrical, [...]
