Hypersonic weapons demand longer-range radars and space-based sensors for detection
A blisteringly fast threat that requires longer-range radars and space-based sensors looms on the horizon in the form of hypersonic vehicles and missiles. Busting out of Earth’s lower orbit requires hypersonic vehicles to reach speeds in excess of Mach 5 (about 3,836 mph) and, at hypersonic speeds, they take an absolute beating from the air [...]

Securing the supply chain
Recently, I had the privilege of addressing the delegates at the Embedded Tech Trends (ETT) industry forum [in San Diego January 28-29]. I spoke about what we at Abaco see as one of the most pressing concerns for our industry, and one that we take extremely seriously: The issue is one of ensuring the absolute [...]

PODCAST: Countering complex battlefield threats, faster DoD acquisition process, game-changing artificial intelligence, rugged computing advances
Lessons learned in combat situations like Ukraine and anti-access area denial (A2/AD) environments have given U.S. defense planners a better understanding of the technological capabilities of near peer adversaries such as Russia and China, how the U.S. falls behind these threats, and an understanding of how they can catch up by leveraging technology such as [...]

Artificial Intelligence Timeline
1940s-1950: Alan Turing cracked the German’s Enigma Machine encryption during WWII; and, in 1950, Turing says that computer programs could be taught to think like humans. He develops the “Turing Test” to put a computer’s behavior to the test to determine if it has “human intelligence;” it’s still used today.

Blockchain for embedded systems (Part 2)
Part 1 of this blog on blockchain for embedded systems (see July/August 2018 issue) explored one way of using blockchain technology for sensor data, especially where the integrity and provenance of the data must be verified. Blockchain is also useful for the other part of embedded systems: command and control. In many cases, the “control” [...]
