Incoming: Will Government and Industry Ever Get It Right?

One of today’s leading topics of discussion is the government-industry relationship. Simply put, will we ever get it right? I now have had the chance to look at this question from both sides of the fence, and the picture is no prettier from the industry vantage point.

Operating In the Arctic

Technologies that function under extreme conditions could influence future Coast Guard tactics.

The U.S. Coast Guard is increasing its presence in the Arctic region as melting ice makes the area more accessible. Researchers evaluate technologies capable of supporting the Coast Guard mission under the Arctic’s extreme conditions.

Nature's Batteries: Just Add Water

An NRL microbial fuel cell program could power whole networks of maritime sensors.

Lenny Tender, a research chemist at the Naval Research Laboratory, stands in front of a tank that mirrors marine environments at the Washington, D.C., facility. Partially submerged in the tank is a Hershey Kiss-shaped buoy that scientists use to develop the benthic microbial fuel cell, a persistent power supply for marine-deployed applications.

Cyber Earns Its Sea Legs

A NATO-based research center balances funding for competing needs.

The MUSCLE autonomous vehicle developed by the Centre for Maritime Research and Experimentation, or CMRE, for mine countermeasures works with the NATO Research Vessel Alliance (in the background). The autonomous vehicle is equipped with synthetic aperture sonar.

Challenges to Crewing the Future Fleet

The U.S. Navy will need to train a different type of sailor for its new ships and operations.

The U.S. Navy’s newest destroyer, the USS Zumwalt, departs its dry dock at Bath Iron Works, Maine, prior to conducting at-sea trials in the Atlantic Ocean. The technology-rich Zumwalt may serve as a template not only for future Navy ships but also for a highly skilled crew capable of handling multiple tasks.

What We Have Is a Failure to Communicate

Merging electronic warfare, cyber warfare and electromagnetic spectrum disciplines is needed to safeguard the nation.

U.S. soldiers and an electronic warfare (EW) trainer observe the spectrum of frequencies used for communications during the Marne Focus exercise in June. A group of EW personnel test reaction times by jamming their communications during the exercise.

The Laser Force Awakens

Beam technology transitions from science fiction to battlefield realms.

The Air Force Research Laboratory and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency work together on the General Atomics High Energy Liquid Laser Area Defense System, an electrically driven solid-state laser.

CHAMP Prepares For Future Fights

Researchers try to determine the path for a system designed to knock out electronics.

Air Force Research Laboratory officials are designing the high-powered microwave pulse system, which targets electronics, to fit onto a wide variety of platforms, including unmanned systems, missiles and guided munitions.

Military Security in the Age of the Internet of Things

Despite looming threats, trusted communications offer a glimmer of assurance.

When Will the United States Have a National Cyber Incident Response Plan?

Previous efforts are languishing in limbo.
