Reliability, maintainability, quality, supportability, and interoperability (RMQSI) is comprised of how well each weapons system is designed, manufactured, and maintained over time.
How can historical "lessons learned" from nuclear acquisition and certification efforts help mitigate new program acquisition pitfalls and avoid cost/time overrun?
Are there DoD funding sources for the development of improved Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and/or Positron Emission Tomography (PET) systems?
What is the viability for development of a given electromechanical battery (EMB) technology, and is it suitable for scaling down to the soldier level and up to the facility level?
Quantum sensors, which have demonstrated unmatched precision in measuring magnetic fields, gravity, and motion, hold immense promise for advancing defense capabilities. However, these sensors face significant challenges when deployed in real-world settings – especially when…
Space is becoming more crowded every day, with over 11,000 active satellites and nearly 40,000 pieces of debris in low Earth orbit. But Los Alamos National Laboratory has just demonstrated a new, patented technology called…
EL SEGUNDO, Calif. (AFNS) – Just one year after signing a ground-breaking trilateral agreement, the Deep Space Advanced Radar Capability (DARC) partnership is completing facilities construction at the first of three sites that will host…
As nontraditional, inland spaceports start to become operational, there is a need to understand the viability of deploying satellite constellations from these potential commercial offerings for launching. This work investigates how utilizing a small launch…
As the safety functional authority for fielding materiel solutions, the U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Command’s Safety Office uses risk management to certify that materiel is safe when used as intended. While risk assessment processes…
Continuous fiber composites printing offers an elegant means to generate complex shapes, reinforce parts by leveraging the inherent anisotropy of fiber deposition, and enable a manufacturing paradigm dominated by digital engineering and distributed production. However,…
