Augmented Reality Supports Space Advances

A digital platform aids in spacecraft development and work in orbit.

The ProtoSpace augmented reality system takes collaboration to a higher level, allowing scientists at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory to more easily see and discuss spacecraft design considerations, such as for the Venus Emissivity, Radio Science, InSAR, Topography and Spectroscopy spacecraft.

Army Catches RIDE to Extended Reality Future

A new tool is used to develop the Tactical Computing Environment.

The University of Southern California’s Institute for Creative Technologies has developed a test bed for evaluating a wide array of virtual reality, augmented reality, extended reality and artificial intelligence systems used for military purposes. Metamorworks/Shutterstock

Researchers Adopt a New Perspective on Extended Reality

Graphics are giving way to a triumph of substance over style.

A researcher (inset) uses extended reality (XR) with digital overlays to determine how a fire spreads in a room. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) experiments with XR to evaluate materials for fire-resistant characteristics without putting humans at risk. NIST

Flying Right Into Open Architecture

The Navy’s acquisition strategy aims at open architectures in aviation programs.

In its pursuit of open architecture solutions, the U.S. Navy has made “great strides” in applying the Mission Computer Alternative (MCA) platform, which is a Hardware Open Systems Technologies- (HOST-) conforming mission computer. The service is currently testing the MCA/HOST platform in its E-2D Advanced Hawkeye tactical airborne early warning aircraft and in its T-45 training aircraft (above)—and is considering how to advance the solutions to other platforms.

Cyber Institute Probes All Dimensions of Extended Reality

Researchers study the pros and cons of the virtual world.

Using virtual reality, soldiers from Fort Sill, Oklahoma, get a look at components of the Army’s new prototype Long Range Hypersonic Weapon and a chance to influence how the system is designed. In the future, units may use 3D printers to build their own virtual reality headsets. U.S. Army

Atlantic Council Releases Report on the Geopolitical Impacts of Emerging Technologies

The United States must take action now if it wants to “a freer, more secure and more prosperous world” in a decade.

Atlantic Council researchers emphasize that the technological revolution, which shows no sign of stopping, will reshape societies and geopolitics “in novel and even unanticipated ways.” Credit: Shutterstock/Yurchanka Siarhei

Data Centricity, Interoperability at the Heart of Network Modernization

The path forward also centers heavily on more generic solutions that enhance industry's speed and effectiveness at innovation.

Lt. Gen. Robert Skinner, USAF, director of the Defense Information Systems Agency and the Joint Force Headquarters Department of Defense Information Network, highlights agency priorities and focus areas during a virtual luncheon session hosted Thursday by AFCEA's Central Maryland Chapter.
