Flexpedient® Technology enables one computer to run a variety of applications, including robotics and biometrics. This field-expedient system allows developers to protect proprietary technology while deploying it in an interoperable solution. To see just how simple it is, watch this video.
The direction for unmanned systems and all of the Defense community is clear; we must do more with less and do it faster. We need to create the best possible systems for tomorrow’s needs as soon as possible. One niggling little problem: what does tomorrow look like? For example, do we develop unmanned systems […]
One of the big changes for military vendors in recent years has been the greater emphasis placed on acquisition of Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) products by the Department of Defense (DoD). In the past, COTS constituted a few percent of all items purchased by the DoD. While the overall amount is still low, some […]

At a gathering of unmanned systems professionals, I heard a lot of griping about product development. Trying to deliver a system that the government wants was impossible, because of the time lag. Who knows what the Department of Defense would want or need 2 or 5 years from now? All participants in the meeting agreed […]
Those who work in an engineering/hi-tech culture know the importance of “specs.” Go to any biometric solution provider’ workplace, and you will see highly trained professionals closely examining the latest RFP, eagerly analyzing the specifications, as well as the Scope of Work. Focusing on specifications alone can lead to not only tunnel vision, but also […]
Tight budgets = less robots? The always interesting P.W. Singer had some interesting things to say in his article, “U-Turn: Unmanned Systems Could be Casualties of Budget Pressures” (Armed Forces Journal). In an era of shrinking budgets, he worries that funding for unmanned systems will suffer. “As the Pentagon wrestles with declining overall budget numbers, […]
“Imagine a test where you: blow dust at your laptop for hours at a time; vibrate it all day for days at a time; subject it to altitude variations of 0 to 10,000 feet; operate it in temperatures reaching 130 degrees Fahrenheit; virtually soak the laptop in water for two days; expose it to humidity […]
The C4ISR explosion The need for Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) is a major force driving the tremendous growth in unmanned systems. C4ISR systems constitute approximately 5% of many national defense budgets. One estimate of global C4ISR market in 2010 is $63.6 billion. To read the rest of the article, click here. […]
Modern computers operate in a “noisy” electronic environment. They are surrounded by powerful electromagnetic interference (EMI) generated by radios, radar, microwave transmitters, other computers, and a wide assortment of electronic equipment. Battlefield computers have to contend with an exceptional level of interference created by military-specific items, such as IED jammers. Of course, EMI protection has […]
