Software-defined cognitive radios (CRs) use voice as a primary input/output modality and are expected to have substantial computational resources capable of supporting advanced speechand audio-processing applications. This chapter extends previous work on military speech applications (see, e.g., Ref. [1]) to cognitive-like services that enhance military mission capability by capitalizing on aut...

Addressing SWaP Challenges in Military Platforms With 65-nm FPGAs and Structured ASICs Introduction Now more than ever, size, weight, and power (SWaP) must be managed and reduced across virtually all military and aerospace applications to improve operational efficiency and logistics, increase mission life, and reduce the total cost of system ownership. System upgrades are driving added function...

Shortly after war broke out in 1914 Dr Flora Murray and Dr Louisa Garrett Anderson, two former members of the Women’s Social and Political Union, founded their own women’s hospital organization to care for soldiers wounded in the fighting. Experience in the suffrage movement had taught them what the likely reaction of the authorities would be to any offer of help from women doctors, so they app...

The paper draws attention to the emerging military capabilities of laser radar by describing state-oftechnology sensor processing results for applications involving helicopter obstacle warning, automatic target identification at far range and automatic target detection and classification at close range. In all applications sensor processing requires accurate motion compensation using navigation...
