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 winning proposal would proceed to Phase 2, which includes further design work, and the building and testing of a full-size prototype. [7] It would then continue to flight-testing within roughly five years. [8] In May 2024, DARPA selected Aurora's design to continue development with an $8.3 million contract modification.
[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 ...
DARPA was created by Dwight D. Eisenhower after the Soviet All very different, yet all tied together by one entity - DARPA, or the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. DARPA creates tech you ...
To help overcome these challenges, DARPA launched in 2014 [6] the Cyber Grand Challenge: a two-year competition seeking to create automatic defensive systems capable of reasoning about flaws, formulating patches and deploying them on a network in real time. The competition was split into two main events: an open qualification event to be held ...
The DARPA XS-1 was an experimental spaceplane/booster with the planned capability to deliver small satellites into orbit for the U.S. Department of Defense. [1] It was reported to be designed to be reusable as frequently as once a day, with a stated goal of doing so for 10 days straight. [2]
In 2019, DARPA hosted a "proposers day" for the Semantic Forensics (SemaFor) program where researchers were driven to prevent viral spread of AI-manipulated media. [262] DARPA and the Semantic Forensics Program were also working together to detect AI-manipulated media through efforts in training computers to utilize common sense, logical ...
DARPA conducted the first demonstration of the whole PCAS system with the U.S. Marine Corps on 27 March 2015 during the Talon Reach training exercise. The exercise was the first time the air component was integrated with the ground component in use operationally since 2013, dubbed Kinetic Integrated Low-cost SoftWare Integrated Tactical Combat ...
