To Man or Not to Man?

That is the question for assigning drone missions.

Two U.S. Navy officers inspect an MQ-5B Hunter unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) at Kandahar Airfield in Afghanistan. The Navy’s increased use of UAVs is changing the nature of its air operations, but it also is raising concerns about manned versus unmanned missions.

New Technology Approaches Can Solve Complex U.S. Navy Problems

Software-defined networking, virtualization and orchestration enable C2D2E afloat and enhance security, capability and flexibility ashore.

A U.S. sailor aboard the amphibious assault ship USS Boxer sets up a virtual server administrator account during a training course provided by the Space and Naval Warfare Systems (SPAWAR) Command. The command furnishes fleets with fly-away network operations support teams that offer tailored, hands-on information technology and information assurance training to maintain command, control, communications and computers readiness.

Solving the Hard Science For Future Coalition Forces

U.S. and U.K. researchers strive to exploit big data on the battlefield.

British troops practice attack drills during exercises in Oman. U.S. and U.K. researchers have teamed with industry and academia to develop better technologies for future coalition forces.

The Infinite Promise of DNA-Based Data Encryption

A new twist on information storage creates nearly unbreakable protection.

Researchers have developed a technique for encoding text within synthetic DNA that they say would take an infinite number of random, brute-force attacks to break.

U.S. Navy Runs Interference on Signals Conflict

Researchers seek to tear down antennas cluttering ship decks and improve critical communication technologies.

This image captures the results of an experiment conducted at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, D.C., where scientists set up radio sensors around buildings to test whether they could locate a small transmitter by listening for its emissions. They located the transmitter, but they were less successful as the emissions got farther away. An algorithm under development could help locate an emitter with a network of inexpensive power sensors.

Full Speed Ahead For Autonomous Countermine Technologies

The U.S. Navy goes deep into emerging capabilities to change the nature of undersea warfare.

Croatian divers and U.S. sailors with Explosive Ordnance Disposal Mobile Unit (EODMU) 8 load an Iver 3 autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) into the MK-5 Zodiac for testing.

Disruptive by Design: Adding Our 2 Cents to the Financial Technology Discussion
