Development is underway on a Web-based application that will help U.S. sailors detect pirate ships, illegal fishing vessels, drug smugglers, arms traffickers and other bad guys in the ocean.
Faced with budget pressures, the Pentagon is overhauling its strategy for identifying and plugging gaps in intelligence-sharing capabilities.
AMMAN, Jordan — U.S. Special Operations Command wants to establish a worldwide network linking special operations forces of allied and partner nations to combat terrorism.
The ability of U.S. industry to continue delivering the highest-quality ISR equipment, communications systems and cybersecurity technologies depends in large part on innovations designed by small businesses under contracts to prime contractors. A case in point is the intelligence community’s shift toward cloud computing. Most of the core technologies for the cloud were developed by small innovators.
TEL AVIV — The Israel Air Force is evaluating a hyperspectral measurement and signature intelligence (MASINT) system sensor designed to add an entirely new dimension to Israeli intelligence-collection capabilities.
Even though the U.S. Air Force may not be upgrading some of its surveillance aircraft, it is not handing off the intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance mission to the U.S. Navy.
The computers, antennas and satellite dishes of the U.S. Army’s forthcoming mobile command network are getting a real-world exam in the dust and heat of New Mexico this month. The initial operational test and evaluation for Increment 2 of the Warfighter Information Network-Tactical, or WIN-T, is scheduled to run through May 25.
Despite the ongoing concern about the escalating pace of cyber attacks, a new set of standing rules of engagement for cyber operations — policy guidelines that would specify how the Pentagon would respond to different types of cyber attacks — is being delayed by a debate over the role of the U.S. military in defending non-military networks, sources said.

The operators at a natural gas control center in downtown San Francisco weren’t sure whether to believe the spike in pipeline pressures they were seeing along the length of the San Francisco Peninsula. Technicians working at a natural gas hub in Milpitas, 40 miles away, had warned that electrical work might briefly affect readings from their supervisory control and data acquisition equipment.
Think back to 2008. Hundreds of U.S. troops were being killed and maimed each month by roadside bombs in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the Pentagon was pouring billions of dollars into technology to defeat the improvised explosive devices. The Army was buying mine-resistant, ambush-protected armored troop carriers by the tens of thousands, and Defense Secretary Robert Gates was browbeating his generals to field more surveillance unmanned aircraft.
Now that the U.S. Air Force has said it is probably going to have no choice but to continue flying its two-decade-old fleet of Joint Surveillance Target Attack Radar System aircraft, Northrop Grumman is airing what it describes as a cost-saving idea.
