Machine learning (ML) is revolutionizing weather forecasting because it can identify complex patterns in vast amounts of weather data. It provides accurate predictions, fast updates, and the ability to capture subtle details that traditional methods might miss, all while being computationally efficient compared to traditional modeling. In the last 24 months, there have been four…
The Homeland Defense and Security Information Analysis Center (HDIAC) is seeking information on what commercial/government-off-the-shelf unmanned aerial systems are available for specific activities to support first responders on a military base. The drones need to be preprogrammed to patrol a predesignated path and assist with surveillance/first responder applications over a 5G network. The goal is…
The Homeland Defense and Security Information Analysis Center (HDIAC) received an inquiry regarding a report that the German Federal Police was made aware of a new kind of ammunition available on the market—9-mm hollow-point ammunition produced via three-dimensional (3-D) printing. HDIAC conducted a search using keywords relevant to the inquiry and reviewed appropriate online and…
