DARPA launched the Pandemic Prevention Platform program (P3) to stop pandemic treatments within 60 days of detection. The P3 program, which began in 2017, seeks to halt the spread of any infectious disease outbreak before it can escalate into a pande
The Pentagon's DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) wants to be able to spread genetically modified bacteria as "explosives sensors." The United States government could very well be looking into ways to militarize microbes.
ATTENTION owners of truly massive, human-built tunnels and subterranean complexes: The US military's secretive research agency urgently needs your underground lair for some undisclosed experiments.
MIT's Cheetah 3 is very light on its feet, it can now "leap and gallop across rough terrain, climb a staircase littered with debris, and quickly recover its balance when suddenly yanked or shoved," all while it doesn't have cameras to track its surro
Technocrats at DARPA and the Pentagon are implementing high-altitude surveillance balloons across the US, capable of wide-area tracking of everything that moves on the ground.
This is a major development for Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT) that i
The US military is conducting wide-area surveillance tests across six midwest states using experimental high-altitude balloons, documents filed with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) reveal.
Last year, the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) announced that it was seeking noninvasive ways "to achieve high levels of brain-system communications without surgery." The techniques would "allow precise, high-quality conn
DARPA is automating air-to-air combat, enabling reaction times at machine speeds and freeing pilots to concentrate on the larger air battle and directing an air wing of drones.
The Pentagon wants to increase its use of artificial intelligence, or AI, for war. So it asked it research arm, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, or DARPA, to automate air-to-air combat, teaching AI how to manuever an aircraft and use we
DARPA's OFFensive Swarm-Enabled Tactics (OFFSET) program wants swarms of 250 collaborative autonomous systems providing critical capabilities to ground units in urban areas where challenges such as tall buildings, tight spaces, and...
Cybersecurity threats have moved from high in the software stack to towards the underlying hardware. The rise of the Internet of Things (IoT) has driven the creation of a rapidly growing number of accessible devices and a multitude of complex chip de

Rocket Lab will be launching their Electron rocket with the Radio Frequency Risk Reduction Deployment Demonstration (R3D2) mission for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). It will test a prototype reflective array antenna which is i
The system will be fully open source and designed with newly developed secure hardware to make the system not only impervious to certain kinds of hacking, but also allow voters to verify that their votes were recorded accurately.
The most powerful weapon in the world is surprise. Even the biggest adversary stands the chance of defeat if properly caught off guard.
On October 4, 1957, the Soviet Union surprised every American… from the common man, all the way up to, and es
There two main challenges for hypersonic weapons and vehicles are for engines and rockets to generate the speed and for materials that can survive at the extreme temperatures. Moving at hypersonic speeds of 5 to 25 or more times the speed of sound in
DARPA Photonics in the Package for Extreme Scalability (PIPES) program, seeks faster computers by developing high-bandwidth optical signaling technologies for digital microelectronics.
A joint program by the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency (DARPA)/ US Army Operational Fires (OpFires) has picked a total of three defense companies to develop and demonstrate a novel ground-launched system enabling hypersonic boost-glide weapo
DARPA, a top-secret and very controversial US army research lab, is behind a raft of shocking futuristic weapons – and many of their space-age creations are ready to be deployed at any moment
