MIL TECH TRENDS
EMMA HELFRICH, ASSOCIATE EDITOR
 
Commercial technology must process information quickly, be sleek and compact in its design, offer a high-resolution image, and remain simple in operation. Rugged military displays must perform similarly but in incredibly harsh environmental conditions. Manufacturers of military technology are using these industry commonalities as inspiration behind the production of their rugged, smart displays.

EDITOR'S PERSPECTIVE
JOHN MCHALE, EDITORIAL DIRECTOR
 
This summer, two events celebrate 50th anniversaries – one is significant to the whole world, while the other likely only to two 75-year-olds in Florida. Eight days from this writing, it will be July 20, 2019, marking 50 years since Apollo 11 astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed and walked on the moon. Less than two months after that momentous date, I turn 50. You can guess which one my parents find more important. Both Aldrin and Armstrong are in the Astronaut Hall of Fame down at Cape Canaveral, while I’m in the “Shoulda, Coulda, Woulda” exhibit. Kidding, of course: That exhibit doesn’t exist … yet.

INDUSTRY SPOTLIGHT
RICHARD WHALEY, MERCURY SYSTEMS
 
Market-intelligence firm IDC predicts that the sum of the world’s collective data, estimated at 33 zettabytes currently, will eclipse 175 zettabytes by 2025. That’s equivalent to forty billion pounds of common one-terabyte storage disks. Intelligence and military applications rely on massive data pipelines to drive intelligence gathering and mission-critical decision-making. The speed at which the warfighter is able to collect, process, analyze, and understand data directly impacts mission success.

MIL TECH TRENDS
CHRIS A CIUFO GENERAL MICRO SYSTEMS
 
Adding or enhancing new command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (C4ISR) and electronic warfare (EW) technologies in armed forces’ tactical ground vehicles has historically been done through a “bolt-on” approach. Communications systems have traditionally been independent, siloed systems that lacked integration, futureproofing and as importantly, economies of size, weight, power, and cost (SWaP-C).

UNIVERSITY UPDATE
SALLY COLE SENIOR EDITOR
 
A hard armor system crafted from composite metal foam takes hits as well as conventional steel armor, but at half the weight, a development that could potentially help revolutionize the design of military vehicles by improving their armor protection, without making them heavier.

A framework is a toolbox for creating, training, and validating deep-learning neural networks. Using a high-level programming API, it hides the complexities of the underlying algorithms to greatly simplify and speed up development. Like deep learning, frameworks are evolving rapidly. This column will focus on frameworks that work with NVIDIA’s TensorRT, a tool for deploying high-­performance deep neural networks.

SPONSORED WHITE PAPER
NATIONAL INSTRUMENTS
 
As wireless protocols grow more complex, spectrum environments become more contested and electronic warfare grows more sophisticated. Read how artificial intelligence and deep learning can be combined with commercial off-the-shelf software defined radio to train algorithms to detect new threats faster, reduce development risk and support burden, and be deployed in SWaP-constrained (size, weight and power) signals intelligence and spectrum monitoring scenarios.
