Academic & industry researchers: DARPA needs your help to overcome challenges associated w/ intracellular delivery of biologic therapeutics to diverse cell & tissues by developing new delivery modalities for distribution w/ limited negative side effects: spr.ly/6016b3ruG

The electromagnetic spectrum is where most U.S. military comms capabilities live, but it’s also shared by our adversaries. Defense leaders recently looked at new industry #tech that can help manage the space correctly so future warriors in the battlefield can hide in plain sight.

Inspiring our youth.
NSWCPD recently held its 19th Sea Perch/Sea Glide competition, which lets area students test their #STEM skills by building remotely operated autonomous underwater vehicles and trying them out in an obstacle course, among other challenges. #innovation

After 2 years of training, U.S. Navy’s Jessica Wittner, U.S. Marines’s Luke Delaney & U.S. Coast Guard’s Andre Douglas, of NASA’s 2024 astronaut grad class, are ready for space. Here, they discuss the paths they took to get to this point.

After 50 years of government service, including 20 years in the Air Force, Assistant Secretary of Defense for Science and Technology Steven G. Wax has retired. Read more about his incredible career here: defense.gov/News/Feature-S…

.DARPA will soon introduce to the research community the vision & goals of its SURGE program, which focuses on unlocking the full potential of additive manufacturing for mission-critical hardware. Register to attend in-person or to watch the webcast: spr.ly/6019wd8uU

Planning to watch the #solareclipse today? Make sure your eyes are properly protected! 😎 If it’s too late to get your hands on a pair of eclipse glasses, learn of a few other options here, including how to make your own eclipse projector. health.mil/News/Dvids-Art…

Are you ready for the total #SolarEclipse ?

If you’re not in the path of totality, tune into NASA’s various streams for live telescope feeds, expert commentary & even a livestream of sounding rockets launching during the event: spr.ly/6010wDSHk

#ICYMI : The Missile Defense Agency & @usnavy recently tested Flight Test Aegis Weapon System 32, which detected, tracked & engaged a medium-range ballistic missile target that was intercepted by SM-6 Dual II missiles launched from the USS Preble: spr.ly/6013Z0Y3b

Can't see the April 8 total #SolarEclipse in person? 😎 Then join scientists as they point a massive telescope at the sun during the event & share their observations & comments through an interactive public webinar! Learn more here about how you can join. science.nasa.gov/solar-system/s…

At #ProjectConvergence , the U.S. Marines showed off the MMRC, a watercraft designed to insert & extract teams and conduct reconnaissance, surveillance & target acquisition on the water. It can fill gaps in sensor coverage created by complex littoral terrain: spr.ly/6014Z5ryy

At #ProjectConvergence , the U.S. Army highlighted its HADES prototype, which will be used in large-cabin business jets during aerial intelligence, surveillance & reconnaissance missions. #HADES will offer increased range, speed & endurance during ISR multidomain operations.

Fighting combat fatigue is important for military operator health & #readiness . The FOCUS app takes sleep health to a scalable level through wearable trackers, making it easier to target issues individuals may be having & prescribing aid when it’s needed. Here’s how it works.

At #ProjectConvergence , U.S. Army DEVCOM Ground Vehicle Systems Center engineers highlighted their autonomous transport vehicle system. The ATV-S allows a manned vehicle to lead a line of unmanned vehicles through the use of sensors that provide sufficient accuracy to safely operate. #ForceProtection

Smaller & lighter.💪🏽
A new combat vehicle is being developed for the U.S. Marines to counter threats that more heavily armored systems usually address. The ARV-30’s size should enable rapid deployment & stealthier ops. Here’s how it differs from LAVs & ACV-30s. peols.marines.mil/News/Article-D…

Prepping for future #UAS competition.

The Okla. National Guard & aerospace partners recently tested cutting-edge unmanned aircraft system capabilities to train Guard members to adapt to ever-changing battlefield tech, including #AI integration & other unmanned systems threats. #readiness

Rare earth materials are crucial for US defense capabilities. Developing them domestically instead of buying from overseas is the focus of the DoD’s mine-to-magnets initiative, which has already begun to ⬆️ parts of the manufacturing process in the US. defense.gov/News/News-Stor…

Transforming how our forces fight future battles, #ProjectConvergence highlights joint & multinational experiments conducted at Camp Pendleton to shape the operating environment for future warfighters. The experiments continue at Fort Irwin NTC.
