While the market for immersive technologies such as augmented reality and virtual reality is sweeping the globe across a multitude of industries, nowhere is it making a greater impact than with the U.S. military and national security.

SpEC is excited to attend the 38th annual Space Symposium Conference this year, taking place in scenic Colorado Springs from April 17th through April 20th in an awe-inspiring venue that features breathtaking mountain views in The Broadmoor, a five-star, world-renowned hotel.

Over the last 50 years our approach to databases has been evolving. This evolution has been focused on solving one problem: Moving from data and information to knowledge, insight, and wisdom.

The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) has celebrated a milestone achievement for the State-of-the-Art Heterogeneous Integrated Packaging (SHIP) Program under the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering (OUSD(R&E)) with the delivery of the first SHIP prototype devices from Intel and Qorvo to BAE Systems, Inc.

Blockchain technology is revolutionizing the military industry by providing secure, efficient data sharing and storage solutions. It has the potential to solve major problems in military logistics, such as tracking supplies, managing personnel records, and ensuring data security.

The Aerospace industry as it relates to the Department of Defense is a field involving designing, manufacturing, and operating vehicles that travel in aerospace, which includes missiles, spacecraft, rockets, and satellites.

Industrial technology has always played a critical role in the defense sector. In recent years, additive manufacturing has begun to play an even more critical role in weapon design and prototype development. This is due to the many advantages that additive manufacturing offers over traditional manufacturing methods.

As the Department of Defense (DoD) continues to rely on contractors to support its mission, it's important to understand the difference between traditional and non-traditional contractors and how they both influence the way innovation makes its way towards production.

Biotech research is shaping the world. It is an important part of military operations, too. While biotechnology can be destructive, it has phenomenal healing abilities too. Here are a few examples of biotechnology in military operations and how it’s keeping citizens safe.

Space Enterprise Consortium (SpEC), managed by National Security Technology Accelerator has awarded $18 million to General Dynamics Information Technology (GDIT) for the Enigma prototype project. The Enigma project will support Space Systems Command (SSC) in building the USSF’s digital backbone in support of the acquisition mission.

Russia is amping up is hypersonics weapons campaigns against Ukraine. North Korea recently claimed it has tested their own fleet of hypersonic missiles, a claim that has been deemed credible. Top U.S. generals openly state that China’s hypersonic developments are “very concerning”.

We are witnessing a democratization of space, which brings with it the challenge of finding paths to continue maintaining American dominance in space. As Chinese launch rates increase exponentially, securing space technology by slow, outdated acquisition processes will not be enough for the United States to remain dominant in the space territory.
