The Consortium for Execution of Rendezvous and Servicing Operations (CONFERS) is a program started by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) in 2017. [1] The goal was to address the lack of widely accepted technical and safety standards for on-orbit servicing activities involving commercial satellites. [ 2 ]
The Blackjack program was started by DARPA in 2017, [1] with contracts awarded in 2020. The Blackjack constellation will replace or complement larger systems such as Misty and KH-11 . These new orbiters will be cheaper, more numerous and with shorter lifespans than existing systems.
Operational Fires (abbreviated as OpFires) is a hypersonic ground-launched system developed by DARPA for the United States Armed Forces. [3] The system deploys a boost glide vehicle. The prime contractor for the program is Lockheed Martin. [4] The missile's range is thought to be up to 1,000 miles (1,609 kilometers). [5]
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA, formerly ARPA) has been the military's in-house innovator since 1958, a year after the USSR launched Sputnik.DARPA is widely known for creating ARPAnet, the predecessor of the internet, and has been instrumental in advancing hardened electronics, brain-computer interface technology, drones, and stealth technology.
The JTAC gets a countdown to weapons release, and can see an impact line as well as weapon damage radius; both aircrew and JTAC can see video of the target on their tablets, eliminating the need for the larger, dedicated ROVER laptops currently used by JTACs to view airborne video.
Concept diagram of the VIRAT system, from the DARPA project solicitation [1]. The Video and Image Retrieval and Analysis Tool (VIRAT) program is a video surveillance project funded by the Information Processing Technology Office of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA).
[5] [13] [14] In mid-November, DARPA stated that the first test flight ended when the computer autopilot "commanded flight termination" after the vehicle began to roll violently. [15] A second flight was initially scheduled to be launched on August 10, 2011, but bad weather forced a delay. [16] The flight was launched the following day, on 11 ...
