Quantum computing is the next generation of computer technology. It processes information using quantum bits, rather than classical ones. So far, we have only scratched the surface of the potential applications of quantum technology in the military sector.
The Microelectronics Commons program is a first of its kind approach aimed at decreasing our dependency on other nations for microelectronics. The Department of Defense is looking to cast a wide net on the technology industry and Defense Industrial Base (DIB) to innovate and collaborate to successfully deliver on a project of this scale.
Experts expect the Artificial Intelligence (AI) market to grow to almost $60 billion. No wonder national security has such an interest in AI. If it is changing the world, it can also be a fundamental change for military applications.
Beating China is not about spending more, it’s about spending smarter. This is a strong message that both Col. Eric Felt, Director of Space Architecture and Integration, and Mr. Frank Calvelli, Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Space Acquisitions and Integration, are pushing across Space Force.
There are some pieces of our economy that, while important to U.S. citizens, it is that much more critical to our national security. The federal government must protect and nurture its microchip supply.
As the world becomes increasingly digitized, commercial industries are beginning to adopt cutting-edge technologies that were once solely the domain of the military. Let's take a look at some of the latest leap-ahead defense technologies that are currently in development.
In 2022, we welcomed 300 new member organizations across 64 technology focus areas, 75% representing Small, Non-Traditional organizations. This year, our members top technology areas included 5G, Microelectronics, Hypersonics, and Space Awareness.
Radio technology has been around for over 100 years, and during that time, it has evolved into a vital tool for both the military and civilians. We use radio technology in everything from cell phones to televisions, and it plays a crucial role in all aspects of our lives.
As our lives become increasingly intertwined with technology, it’s no surprise that cyber attacks are on the rise. In fact, they’re becoming more sophisticated, more targeted, and more destructive. So, it's essential that you understand cyber vulnerability in order to keep you safe.
The Microelectronics Commons Industry Days was a two-day event designed to provide deep dives into the six technology areas vital to the Microelectronics Commons program: Secure Edge/IoT Computing, 5G/6G Technology, Artificial Intelligence Hardware, Quantum Technology, Electromagnetic Warfare, and Commercial Leap-Ahead Technologies.
