Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) (NYSE: SAI) announced today it was awarded a prime contract by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) for the Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) Continuous Trail Unmanned Vessel (ACTUV) program phases two through four to design, build and test a new prototype unmanned autonomous surface vessel.
The United States Navy has ordered three Robotnik Summit XL mobile platforms from Barrett Technology, in Cambridge, MA, USA. These compact autonomous vehicles are unique because of their special triple combination of (1) independent suspension, (2) independent drives, and (3) omni-directional treads at each of its wheels, enabling unmatched speed and agility.
Twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, communities in Pakistan, Afghanistan and elsewhere in Asia and the Middle East are being watched. With armed unmanned drones making regular surveillance rounds, civilians in these regions are perpetually reminded that their lives are not private.
General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems and the U.S. Army Armament Research and Development Engineering Center (ARDEC) have successfully demonstrated a GPS-guided munition for use on small Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV).
Since the arrival of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles on the global military stage well over a decade ago, they've proved capable of operating effectively in a number of roles.
Cornell researchers have created an autonomous flying robot that is as smart as a bird when it comes to maneuvering around obstacles.
Liquid Robotics®, an ocean data service provider and developer of the Wave Glider®, the first wave powered autonomous marine robot, reports one of their Wave Gliders named Mercury battled through Hurricane Sandy and successfully piloted through winds up to 70 knots, all the while transmitting weather data in real time.
Robotics AlleyTM, a robotics industry public-private initiative based in Minnesota, has unveiled the world’s first searchable, crowdsourced map of the booming global robotics industry. Already populated with more than 1,300 robotics-related organizations from around the world, TheRoboticsMap.com integrates best practices from open-source intelligence gathering and crowdsourcing to build a flexible, ever-expanding map of robotics organizations, including manufacturers, suppliers, research organizations and university robotics departments.
NASA will host a media teleconference at 11:30 a.m. PDT Tuesday, Oct. 30, to provide an update about the Curiosity rover's mission to Mars' Gale Crater.
Millions of years ago fire and water forged the gypsum rocks locked in at Cuatro Ciénegas, a Mexican valley similar to the Martian crater where NASA's Rover Curiosity roams. A team of researchers have now analysed the bacterial communities that have survived in these inhospitable springs since the beginning of life on Earth.
