The U.S. Military-Industrial complex is sprinting on a chariot to shore up the encryption space before the next era of computation upends the entire digital edifice built on semiconductors and transistors. But, the core of the effort is protecting markets for Big Tech and all of its tentacles, which stand to lose years or even decades of profits

One defense technology journalist argued that, ‘There is no good way to track the drones in the sky.’ However, that could change with a proposed scalable system that would track every unmanned aerial vehicle in an urban area.
MINNEAPOLIS --- The same U.S. military think tank responsible for the initial development of the internet is now turning its sights to the skies as it researches ways to track drones. On Sept. 13, DARPA, or the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, published
Researchers implanted a “stentrode” to record activity in the brains of live sheep without having to cut open their skulls.
DARPA is determined to develop brain-machine interface technology capable of safely and reliably recording enough information from neurons to control “high-performance prosthetic limbs” that will help amputees or people with paralysis regain lost movement. A new
