IARPA Searches for Space Junk’s Trashed Signals

Novel signal detection methods may revolutionize space debris tracking.

Currently, the U.S. Space Force’s Space Fence is considered the world’s most advanced system for tracking objects in space. Although the system is capable of tracking objects as small as a marble, even smaller objects can cause catastrophic damage and cannot currently be tracked persistently. Credit Lockheed Martin image

DARPA Envisions Commercial Uses for Autonomous Off-Road Vehicles

AI-driven vehicles designed to navigate tough terrain may handle nonmilitary missions.
