The U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has launched the Exponentiating Mathematics (expMath) program, seeking proposals from innovators in
DARPA’s Atmosense program is transforming the Earth’s atmosphere into a global sensor system, capable of detecting and modeling energy waves from natural and human-made events. This groundbreaking technology could revolutionize disaster detection, environmental monitoring, and national security by leveraging atmospheric signals to track phenomena on a global scale.
DARPA is developing wearable technology that detects infections before symptoms appear—using smart biosensors to keep soldiers and civilians safe.
DARPA’s Novel Orbital and Moon Manufacturing, Materials, and Mass-efficient Design (NOM4D) program is taking a giant leap forward, transitioning from laboratory experiments to small-scale orbital demonstrations. This groundbreaking initiative aims to revolutionize space manufacturing by developing new materials, processes, and designs for constructing large-scale defense systems directly in orbit. As NOM4D moves into its next phase, led by research teams from Caltech and the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, it promises to unlock unprecedented possibilities for space infrastructure, from massive communication antennas to expansive solar arrays. Discover how DARPA’s visionary project could reshape our approach to space exploration and defense in the coming decades.
DARPA’s Red-C program is transforming cybersecurity with self-healing technology that detects, repairs, and prevents cyber-attacks in real time. By integrating forensic sensing and Zero Trust principles into bus-based systems, Red-C paves the way for a safer, more resilient digital future.
The DARPA RACE project seeks to build a resilient, anonymous communication system that can withstand challenging environments. This technology could allow users to maintain secure connections in areas where privacy is often compromised or access is restricted. It emphasizes both resilience and anonymity, targeting environments where traditional communication might fail. The project has garnered attention for its potential to balance security, privacy, and government involvement in secure technology solutions.
DARPA’s POWER program is developing wireless energy beaming technology, promising a revolutionary future for energy distribution.
