U.S. Military looks to Biometrics for Security
Since the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, the global war on terrorism has brought increased focus on biometric technology as a security solution for identifying and tracking suspected terrorists and criminals at airports, sporting events, nuclear power plants, and other high-profile facilities.
Bulk memory designers eye new technologies
The digitized battlefield is information intensive by its very nature, as hundreds of gigabytes of data flow in all directions and require storage, filtering, evaluation, ranking, and distribution with the highest possible reliability and speed.
November elections are one victory in the war on terror
The indecision and obstacles involved with carrying out the war on terrorism — at home and abroad — are largely gone now that results are in from the November elections.
DARPA's Micro Air Vehicle has batteries for wings
ARLINGTON, Va. — Engineers from the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) in Arlington, Va., are using multifunctional structure/power materials to build wings that provide lift as well as power for their WASP Micro Air Vehicle (MAV).
NASA method may lead to nanoscopic electronics
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. — Researchers as NASA Ames Research Center in Mountain View, Calif., have a breakthrough biological method to make ultrasmall structures that could lead to a 99 percent reduction in the size of electronic components.
A little light plus a little glue equals a lot of data
CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. — Researchers at Boston College in Chestnut Hill, Mass., have a new approach to 3-D optical storage that could lead to inexpensive memory disks that are the size of DVDs but hold as much as 100 times as much data.
Latest COMDEX show was a shadow of its former self
LAS VEGAS — COMDEX was founded in 1979 as a showcase for the fledgling personal computer industry (COMDEX, as few probably remember, stands for Computer Dealer Expo).
Computer technology needs to be tailored to terrorist threat, speakers agree at Washington conference of SGI
WASHINGTON — Computer technology could play a major role in the current efforts to counter terrorism, speakers agreed at a conference sponsored by SGI of Mountain View, Calif., last month in Washington, but this technology has to be focused on the problems at hand.
In Brief
Mercury multicomputer systems used for Air Force radar program
The MP-RTIP team at the Air Force's Electronic Systems Center at Hanscom Air Force Base, Mass., works with prime contractor Northrop Grumman and teammate Raytheon in Lexington, Mass., to design a common, modular, scaleable Active Electrically Scanned Array or AESA radar.
The time is now for homeland security
WASHINGTON — The clock has started. With President Bush's signature on the enabling legislation, the new Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is up and — more or less — running.
Mil-spec is not enough for circuit breaker specification
Engineers who design military vehicles and equipment face the challenge of selecting circuit breakers that protect multimillion-dollar machines while ensuring reliable performance in mission-critical situations.
New airport eye-in-the-sky
LONGMONT, Colo. — Images from a new agile bus satellite using a dual sensor "pushbroom" scanning array and orthorectification to reduce image distortion not only are helping with airport development, management, and maintenance, but also may help airport operators enhance facility security.
IBM to build the world's fastest supercomputers
BALTIMORE — Experts from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) are looking to IBM to build the two fastest supercomputers in the world with a combined peak speed as fast as 467 trillion calculations per second (teraflops).
BAE Systems uses Spectrum technology for new signal–acquisition system
GAITHERSBURG, Md. — Engineers at BAE Systems Aerospace Electronics Inc. are using software-defined radio technology from Spectrum Signal Processing in Burnaby, British Columbia, for a new wireless intercept platform for signals intelligence applications.
