DARPA developing neural interface technology to connect soldiers to advanced military systems and weapons wirelessly

Ever wonder what the U.S. military’s own researchers are working on at the moment? Online reports indicate that one of their latest projects involves the use of neural interfaces, specifically non-invasive ones that would allow soldiers to connect with computers and other electronic systems both digitally and wirelessly. This information is based on a pre-solicitation […]

ROBO-WARS: DARPA wants to deploy automated drones as coordinated swarms to “isolate an urban objective”

DARPA is no longer satisfied with merely deploying drones to the battlefield. It wants swarms of unmanned aircraft and ground-borne robots that can work together to isolate an urban objective, according to an article on TechCrunch. The military research agency has announced the second “sprint” of its OFFensive Swarm-Enabled Tactics (OFFSET) program. Sprints are periods […]

The race for next-gen microchips is on: The AI revolution can’t happen without them

The inevitable artificial intelligence (AI) revolution currently faces big hurdles as today’s microchip capacity has apparently reached its limits. Experts say that while the use of transistors and microchips have allowed people to calculate even the largest of numbers, the way that the brain operates using visual cues and processing these data is way more complex than calculations […]

Putin is concerned there will soon be genetically modified superhuman soldiers; calling on world leaders to agree to limitations and regulations

There is no shortage of legitimate and very serious criticisms one could lodge against Russian President Vladimir Putin, but his concerns about matters like GMOs, artificial intelligence and genetic engineering are surprisingly on point. Speaking at a youth festival in Sochi recently, he mentioned the very real possibility of an army of trained killers being […]

DARPA implanting computer chips in soldiers’ brains

Melding artificial silicon with breathing tissue is no longer fantasy peddled by science fiction writers. That is at least what New York Times best-selling author and journalist Annie Jacobsen reports. In her new book, The Pentagon’s Brain, Jacobsen argues that DARPA has been secretly implanting computer chips into soldiers’ brains in order to treat trauma […]
