The National Intelligence Estimate on Climate Change released by the National Security Council in October of 2021 lists eight separate climate change effects, each of which portends impacts on food security: heat, heavy precipitation and flooding, drought, sea level rise, arctic ice melt, tropical cyclones, coral reefs, and biodiversity. As populations experience stressors over the production and consumption of food, the potential for mass hum...

Hypersonic Weapons are accelerating the pace at DoD for the evaluation of potential weapon system concepts and mission sets. As DoD is preparing for $10 billion to enable fielding of Hypersonic Glide Vehicles (HGV) within the next five years, this has created a surge of a rapid R&D for Hypersonic Technologies. Hypersonic Glide Vehicles (HGV) are launched from a rocket before gliding to a target and alternatively, hypersonic cruise missiles...

Military UAV’s Create Multiple-Mission Opportunities for Industry Military spending for this technology is expected to grow as an overall percentage of large military budgets such as the United States’ and Chinese defense budget, offering specialized drone manufacturers and software developers a tremendous opportunity. While drones will never completely replace soldiers, this debate is becoming less important in the current strateg...

Join AIAA online for the 2021 AIAA Propulsion and Energy Forum, 9–11 August 2021, the only forum that covers both aeronautics and space propulsion and energy technologies in one place. The 2021 forum will explore how innovations in the propulsion and energy industries are enabling sustainability. Topics include electric propulsion, gas turbine engines, hybrid rockets, air-breathing propulsion, advanced energy technologies, and more. Disc...

SMi Group are proud to be hosting the 2nd annual Military Space USA conference, which will be taking place on the 8th and 9th of June 2021 with a new dedicated Disruptive Technology Focus Day on the 7th of June. For many years, the US has dominated the space domain and its overwhelming superiority across the other warfighting domains has ensured that this domination was rarely challenged. Nowadays, however, the space domain is becoming increas...

USGIF kicks off a series focused on the GEOINT equities of the U.S. military forces with a day of virtual programming dedicated to the U.S. Air Force and the intelligence community’s newest member, the U.S. Space Force. This day of keynotes and panel discussions is sure to inform participants from around the force about how GEOINT matters to them. It also affords the opportunity for participants from USAF and USSF programs to share insig...

After carefully considering the current and projected state of the COVID-19 pandemic, guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and feedback from prospective speakers, attendees, exhibitors, sponsors, Airmen, and Guardians, we determined that trying to hold an in-person event on this scale at our usual venue in Orlando, Fla, is not viable. Like our virtual Air, Space & Cyber Conference last September, 2021’s vir...

Air-Underwater-Surface-Land UAS: Military spending for UAS is expected to grow as an overall percentage of large military budgets such as the United States, offering specialized drone manufacturers and software developers a tremendous opportunity. While drones will never completely replace soldiers, this debate is becoming less important in the current strategic climate. The Global Military UAV industry, is valued at US $30 Billion in 2019 and...
