Air Force taps DCS for artificial intelligence (AI), modeling, and simulation for weapons effects WRIGHT-PATTERSON AFB, Ohio – U.S. Air Force researchers are asking DCS Corp. in Alexandria, Va., for new ways of predicting the effects of bombs, missiles, electronic warfare (EW), cyber attacks, and reconnaissance missions in military operations against potential enemies. Officials of the Air Force Research Laboratory at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, announced a $94.7 million five-year contract to DCS last week for the Assessment of Sensing-Autonomy Sensor Exploitation Technologies (ASSET) program. https://lnkd.in/gUBNRdAy

BAE Systems to upgrade APKWS air-to-air rockets to take-on swarms of enemy small uncrewed aircraft EGLIN AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. – U.S. Air Force air-defense experts needed an air-to-air weapon to counter swarms of enemy small medium-range uncrewed aircraft. They found a solution from the BAE Systems Electronics Systems segment in Nashua, N.H. Officials of the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center at Eglin Air Force Base, Fla., announced a potential $145 million five-year sole-source contract to BAE Systems on 12 Feb. 2026 for Air to Air Dual Mode project to fit infrared seekers to existing air-to-air rockets. https://lnkd.in/eETxgpfu

Technologies that separate crewed and uncrewed aircraft Avoiding midair collisions always has been a foundational requirement of aviation, but that requirement is changing as airspace fills with autonomous, semi-autonomous, and optionally crewed planes operating across multiple domains. https://lnkd.in/evujteDY

Artificial intelligence drives military rugged computing Rugged computers for aerospace and defense applications are more crucial today than they've ever been -- driven by innovations in multi-mission applications, nimble uses of commercially developed enabling technologies, and most important today, the growing uses of artificial intelligence (AI) in military and aerospace systems. https://lnkd.in/e_c8j2rx

Lockheed Martin to handle logistics and mission planning software for F-35 jet fighter-bomber PATUXENT RIVER NAS, Md. – U.S. Navy combat aircraft experts are looking to Lockheed Martin Corp. for logistics and mission-planning computer hardware for the F-35 Lightning II joint strike fighter under terms of a $47.6 million order announced earlier this month. Officials of the Naval Air Systems Command at Patuxent River Naval Air Station, Md., are asking the Lockheed Martin Aeronautics segment in Fort Worth, Texas, for continued development, installation, integration, testing, training, and delivery of F-35 Autonomic Logistics Information System (ALIS) and Operational Data Integrated Network (ODIN), to include new capability development and current software modifications. https://lnkd.in/eh-j-tk9

NASA eyes advanced computing, sensors, and machine autonomy for next-generation moon and Mars rovers MOFFETT FIELD, Calif. – U.S. space agency experts are surveying industry for autonomous surface mobility, sensors, and space computing for future moon and Mars surface-exploration missions. Officials of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Ames Research Center at Moffett Field, Calif., issued a request for information (80ARC026HRM) on Thursday for the High-Rate Mobility project. https://lnkd.in/djkGe_ZZ

Navy surveys industry for 20-pound uncrewed aircraft with modular sensor payloads for reconnaissance PATUXENT RIVER NAS, Md. – U.S. Navy aviation experts are surveying industry to find companies able to build 20-pound uncrewed aircraft able to provide reconnaissance, surveillance, and target acquisition (RSTA) during the day and at night for the U.S. Marine Corps. Officials of the Naval Air Systems Command at Patuxent River Naval Air Station, Md., issued a request for information (243-26-024) on Wednesday for the Medium Range Tactical (MRT) Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) project. https://lnkd.in/gPJHB8dT

Teledyne, HRL move forward on scalable thermal management and heat dissipation of 3D chip stacks ARLINGTON, Va. – Two U.S. technology companies are moving forward on a military scalable thermal management technologies initiative to help control heat in future electronics architectures that involve 3D heterogeneous integration (3DHI) chip stacks. Officials of the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) in Arlington, Va., are asking HRL Laboratories LLC in Malibu, Calif.; and Teledyne Scientific & Imaging LLC in Thousand Oaks, Calif., to move to the second phase of the Miniature Integrated Thermal Management Systems for 3D Heterogeneous Integration (Minitherms3D) project. https://lnkd.in/eEd7NMf4
