DARPA Aims To Build Microelectronic Systems With Modular ‘Chiplets’

August 28, 2017 @ 10:53 AM

The US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has kicked off a new program dubbed Common Heterogeneous Integration and Intellectual Property (IP) Reuse Strategies or CHIPS, to create a modular computing framework by mixing and matching of ‘chiplets. The crux of the program is to develop a new technological framework in which different functionalities and blocks of intellectual property—among them data storage, computation, signal processing, and managing the form and flow of data—can be segregated into small chiplets, which then can be mixed, matched, and combined onto an interposer, somewhat like joining the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle...

New DARPA Autonomous Systems Program To Better Manage UAVs, Driverless Cars

August 17, 2017 @ 09:18 AM

The US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency has announced a new research program called Assured Autonomy seeking to develop rigorous design and analysis technologies to guarantee safety and to enhance their predictability of autonomous machines likes drones and driverless cars. Assuring systems operate safely and perform as expected, as said in a DARPA press release that it will centre on military autonomous vehicles
First Demo Of DARPA's Elevated Sensor Mast Aboard US Navy Vessel

August 16, 2017 @ 02:03 PM

The US Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) recently demonstrated its prototype of an elevated sensor mast aboard the USS Zephyr, a Cyclone-class patrol coastal ship over three days near Naval Station Mayport, Florida. The Towed Airborne Lift of Naval Systems (TALONS) prototype has been developed by DARPA as a low-cost, elevated sensor mast improves ships communication range and ability to detect, track, and classify contacts of interest
Twin-Prop Engine For European MALE Drone

August 9, 2017 @ 12:01 PM

A twin prop engine configuration has been selected for the European MALE RPAS (Medium Altitude Long Endurance Remotely Piloted Aircraft System) as the basis for further trade-off studies until the upcoming Systems Requirements Review (SRR). Airbus Defence and Space, Dassault Aviation and Leonardo have provided a substantial set of data that allowed the participating nations including France, Germany, Italy and Spain to agree on the basic remotely piloted aircraft (RPA) configuration and several main design drivers for the system, after an intensive 10 months trade-off period
