How The US Military Invented The iPhone
Posted by Karen Hurst in categories: military, mobile phones
Steve Jobs didn’t create that — US Military did.
Just about all of the underlying technology in the iPhone can be traced back to military research projects.
For those anxiously awaiting the release of Apple’s iPhone 7, they might be interested to know that the software company isn’t entirely responsible for the underlying technology behind their newest smartphone. Or for that matter, the technology behind many of their products, from iPhones, to iPads, and iPods.

DARPA Challenges Industry To Make Adaptive Radios With Artificial Intelligence
Posted by Karen Hurst in categories: military, robotics/AI
Now this, this will accelerate AI autonomous capabilities. However, still should be done with a QC secured infrastructure.
WASHINGTON — The Pentagon’s research agency has a new challenge for scientists: make wireless radios with artificial intelligence that can figure out the most effective, efficient way to use the radio frequency spectrum, and win a pile of cash.
Winners of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency’s (DARPA) Spectrum Collaboration Challenge (SC2) could take home up to $3.5 million, but to do that, teams will have to demonstrate new technologies that represent a “paradigm shift” with both military and commercial applications, said Paul Tilghman, a DARPA program manager who is leading the challenge.

Pentagon tests Artificial Intelligence electronic warfare systems
Posted by Karen Hurst in categories: military, robotics/AI
Advanced warfare platforms are increasingly using unused spectrum, now the Pentagon needs a system to cripple it
The US military is cultivating new electronic warfare technologies that, in real time, use artificial intelligence to learn how to jam enemy systems that are using never-before-seen frequencies and waveforms.
Although this “cognitive electronic warfare” is still in its nascent stages of development, scientists developing these systems told Defense News the technology could appear on the battlefield within the next decade.

China Overtakes US in Scientific Articles, Robots, Supercomputers

Nothing illustrates China’s meteoric rise as some well chosen numbers.
By the end of the 1990s, China had come to dominate the mainstays of geopolitical power in the 20th century – coal and steel production. As a consequence, it leapt to the top of the Compositive Index of National Capability, which uses military expenditure, military personnel, energy consumption, iron and steel production, urban population, and total population as a proxy of national power. Still, one could legitimately argue that all of these factors are hardly relevant today. While Germany’s fourfold preponderance in steel production over Russia may have been a critical number in 1914, China’s eightfold advantage in steel production over the US by 2014 is all but meaningless in any relevant comparison of national power. The world has moved on.

China’s Quantum Satellite Experiments: Strategic And Military Implications – Analysis
Posted by Karen Hurst in categories: cybercrime/malcode, government, military, quantum physics, satellites
Additional insights on QSS planned efforts; and (as with any government program) there is more to this program than these insights.
While China’s quantum science satellite (QSS) project is part of the Strategic Priority Programme on Space Science, the country’s first space exploration programme intended purely for scientific research, its experiments have significant military implications.

US soldiers could soon travel like stormtroopers on new ‘hoverbike’
Posted by Dan Kummer in category: military
Engineers showed laboratory research into the ‘hoverbike,’ a rectangular shaped quadcopter that has since been named the Joint Tactical Aerial Resupply Vehicle, or JTARV.
‘Anywhere on the battlefield, Soldiers can potentially get resupplied in less than 30 minutes,’ said Army researcher Tim Vong.

Russia will deploy a division of troops about 50 miles from the US
Posted by Karen Hurst in category: military
Hmmm; I believe that I predicted that Russia would do a military build up near the artic sea and use the Siberian land give away as part of their justification. Also, I projected that Russia main goal is to take over the oil in the artic sea bed and 2 weeks ago Russia became aggressive and began claiming large sections of the artic sea infringing on both Canada and the US. Well, they seem to be following the outline that I shared several months ago. We should keep an eye on this situation.
At a recent event, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said that a division of troops would be stationed in Chukotka, Russia’s far-east region, just slightly more than 50 miles from Alaska.
“There are plans to form a coastal defense division in 2018 on the Chukotka operational direction,” said Shoigu.

Revealed: Pentagon’s Plan to Defeat Russian and Chinese Radar With A.I
Posted by Karen Hurst in categories: military, robotics/AI
Hmmmm.
The Pentagon’s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is working on a new generation of electronic warfare systems that are based on artificial intelligence (A.I.). If the program were to prove a success, the new A.I.-driven systems would provide the United States military a way to counter evermore-capable Russian and Chinese radars.
“One of our programs at DARPA is taking a whole new approach to this problem, this is an effort we refer to as cognitive electronic warfare,” DARPA director, Dr. Arati Prabhakar, told the House Armed Services Committee’s Subcommittee on Emerging Threats and Capabilities on February 24. “We’re using artificial intelligence to learn in real-time what the adversaries’ radar is doing and then on-the-fly create a new jamming profile. That whole process of sensing, learning and adapting is going on continually.”
