INGLES: China says it has stealth-defeating quantum radar

Posted by in categories: electronics, quantum physics

Hmmmm.


Read more China receives first data from unique ‘hack-proof’ quantum satellite The first Chinese quantum radar was developed by the Intelligent Perception Technology Laboratory of the 14th Institute in CETC, according to Xinhua news agency. CETC stands for Electronics Technology Group Corporation, a defense and electronics firm.

The radar was tested in mid-August, Xinhua said in a Thursday report.

DARPA reveals program to address ‘safety gaps’ in gene editing

Posted by in categories: bioengineering, biotech/medical

Recent plans to use these techniques to obstruct mosquitoes’ disease-carrying abilities have raised concerns from both experts and the public, and some have even argued that the tool can be used to create biological weapons.

Now, the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency has revealed a new program that aims to set a ‘safe course’ for this field, with hopes that their toolkit can work both to support bio-innovation and combat bio-threats.

How The US Military Invented The iPhone

Posted by 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.

Arsenal Plane Pick Still In The Air: SCO’s Roper

Posted by in category: transportation

DARPA HQ, ARLINGTON, Va.: Reporters must stop asking Will Roper about the Arsenal Plane, because he hasn’t picked which aircraft will be rebuilt as a high-tech truck for long-range missiles and other weapons. Speculation has centered on the Air Force B-52, but the Strategic Capabilities Office director made clear that choice is, well, up in the air.

DARPA Challenges Industry To Make Adaptive Radios With Artificial Intelligence

Posted by 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 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.

New Quantum Chip Could Bring Highest Level of Encryption to Any Mobile Device

Posted by in categories: computing, encryption, mobile phones, quantum physics, security

Nice.


“We’ve managed to put quantum-based technology that has been used in high profile science experiments into a package that might allow it to be used commercially.”

Random number generators are crucial to the encryption that protects our privacy and security when engaging in digital transactions such as buying products online or withdrawing cash from an ATM. For the first time, engineers have developed a fast random number generator based on a quantum mechanical process that could deliver the world’s most secure encryption keys in a package tiny enough to use in a mobile device.

Your Next Phone Could Have Quantum Security

Posted by in categories: computing, mobile phones, quantum physics, security

As I mentioned 4 months ago when an article came out stating that this type of concept of a scalable quantum chip was at least 15 years away was bunk; this is again one more example where contributors really need to do their homework and make sure they are speaking to the real folks on the frontlines of QC.


Quantum-based random number generators are now small enough that they could fit in mobile devices.
