Army Futures Command and organizations like Army Applications Laboratory are about Forging the Future. How involved will the US Army be with INTELLIGENT INFRASTRUCTURE for Commerce and Defense? Or AUTONOMY PRIME? Autonomy Institute https://lnkd.in/gXKgGUhX

VERTEX | Advanced Autonomy, February 11-12, 2025 VERTEX connects the Army, innovators, and end users with current warfighter needs. Engage with US Army and industry experts as they discuss advanced autonomy for human machine integrated formations at scale. These discussions will inform the Army’s technology requirements and future solicitations. Learn more 🎥 https://hubs.la/Q02_4-b-0

🔋🎒 Amprius Technologies, Inc. will integrate new cells into next-generation wearable battery packs for development and qualification with the US Army. The project is part of the US Department of Defense’s initiative to equip dismounted soldiers with a rapidly available energy solution without requiring additional support from stations and generators. “This battery pack integration marks a significant advancement in enhancing on-the-ground power solutions for the US Army,” Amprius Technologies CEO KANG SUN explained. “Our SiMaxx safe cells, known for their high energy density and safety features, will play a crucial role in enhancing mission time and reliability for dismounted soldiers.” #military #army #technology #militarytech #defensetech #technology #innovation #defense #defence #defenseindustry #defenceindustry #usarmy #battery #batteries #batterytechnology #energy #nextgeneration

SAE International, 2024 DoD Maintenance Symposium in Salt Lake City. Engage with the DoD Maintenance and Sustainment Communities.   https://lnkd.in/eC5SQQJX U.S. Army Materiel Command will see some of the most significant benefits and utility from ubiquitous autonomy. Autonomous maintenance and sustainment of our military bases, saving billions of dollars and keeping systems operational. The gains in efficiency and safety for resupply are enormous, especially with degraded environments in the theater. The nation that deploys INTELLIGENT INFRASTRUCTURE, enabling Industry 4.0 transformations, will gain global economic dominance and defense overmatch. INTELLIGENT INFRASTRUCTURE will provide operational resilience, accelerate our innovation OODA loop with autonomous robotics, and radically reduce operational and sustainment costs. US Army organizations like U.S. Army Installation Management Command and US Army Corps of Engineers will be the bridge between the civilian effort and the DOD and lead the nation with Intelligent Infrastructure.  Autonomy Institute INTELLIGENT INFRASTRUCTURE, CONTINUUM of Innovation Capital, AUTONOMY PRIME, ATLAS PROGRAM, SKYHATTAN, Autonomous Nation #infrastructure #leadership #northstar #future #commerce #mission #arpai #nextg #apnt #transportation #edgeai #i2infrastructure #robotics #technology #automation #digital #productivity #autonomy

Our tabletop Kibble balance recently said “goodbye” to NIST and “hello” to the US Army! Unlike traditional balances that rely on physical weights, this compact instrument measures mass with incredible accuracy by using electrical currents and voltages. The delivery of the tabletop Kibble to the U.S. Army Redstone Arsenal near Huntsville, Alabama, marks the first time a device of this type has been put into use outside of a NIST lab. And it’s been transformed from the size of a walk-in closet to the size of a large shoebox. By bringing precise mass calibration on-site, the Army could save significant costs previously spent on sending equipment to NIST for calibration. From weighing aircraft components to medication doses, this game-changing technology ensures mission-critical measurements are always on point, keeping our troops safe and operations running smoothly.

Trillium Demonstrates GPS-Denied Targeting Capability to U.S. Army >> https://hubs.la/Q02YKsxZ0 Trillium Engineering has successfully demonstrated a new targeting capability for GPS-denied environments to the United States Army. Trillium’s GD-Loc capability achieved exceptional target location accuracy of within six meters in both day and night scenarios, showcasing its potential to enhance mission-critical systems for warfighters operating in areas with limited or compromised GPS availability. "We are extremely proud of the groundbreaking results achieved with GD-Loc. This technology represents a significant advancement in the field of geospatial intelligence and has the potential to provide critical capabilities to the warfighter." - Dr. N Andrew Browning, Chief Technology Officer at Trillium.

New case study reveals how the U.S. Army's 18th Airborne Corps developed the capability to increase targeting efficiency—rivaling the best in recent history—with 2,000 fewer soldiers. In "Building the Tech Coalition," Emelia Probasco examines lessons learned on how to integrate tech quickly and make it work for military needs. I really liked the discussion of the following points: 1. The critical role of "trilingual" leaders fluent in tech, operations, and acquisition 2. The game-changing value of embedding engineers with operators 3. The necessity of flexible contracting and rapid iteration The paper offers actionable recommendations for the DOD to foster similar innovations with real operational impact.
