A new generation of miniaturized ultra-high sensitivity atomic magnetometers is being developed and integrated into military systems. These new systems aggregate advances in micro-electromechanical systems, atomic physics, optics, electromagnetics, and data acquisition methodologies for record-level performance in terms of total magnetic field sensitivity while attaining large reductions in siz...

Background The traditional distributed system was first introduced approximately 20 years ago using fixed infrastructure [1]. Since then nomadic distributed systems have gone on to combine wireless edges with a fixed core infrastructure, where the load is primarily carried on the fixed infrastructure [1]. In this regime, the periphery of the communications system is composed of wireless devices...

The Air Force Institute of Technology [AFIT] provides master’s degree education to Air Force and Army Officers in various engineering fields. It is in a unique position to educate and perform research in the area of applications of artificial intelligence to military problems. Its two AI faculty members are the only military officers with Ph D’s in Artificial Intelligence. In the past two years...

Recent developments in sensor networking for both military and civilian applications emphasized the need for a reliable integration of sensor networks with the Internet. For sensor networks deployed in various military applications, it is important that collected information be delivered as fast as possible with minimum delays. In this paper, an integration module is proposed. The objective of ...
