Malware is insidious – with literally millions of varieties available for attackers to choose from – and, despite attempts at prevention, the malicious software occasionally slips through firewalls and other security measures. But researchers at North Carolina State University and University of Texas at Austin have created a way to detect the types of malware that use a system’s architecture to thwart traditional security measures. The tool works by tracking the power fluctuations within embedded systems.

Artificial intelligence (AI)-powered smart machines and other cognitive offensive capabilities are being fielded by nations and non-nations who are seeking to raise their respective global postures and/or degrade others as a new age of warfare begins. The new age of warfare is AI-powered and uses technology that is affordable and widely available.

At the tactical edge – let’s define it as the platforms, sites, and personnel operating at lethal risk in a battlespace or crisis environment – one frequent challenge is how to create or host a service/application that can make the difference between life and death for the warfighter. Containerization applications can enable users at the tactical edge to dynamically deploy, manage, and secure critical applications.

The New Space Race is a new podcast series hosted by John McHale, group editorial director for Military Embedded Systems and brought to you by Wind River®. Hear about the people and technology that are transforming the space industry today. During this six-episode event we will explore how satellites have developed from the first GEO satellites of decades ago to the new SmallSats being launched en masse today. Each episode will feature interviews with experts on the satellite industry covering the spacecraft themselves as well as the hardware and software that enables their complex payloads.

The proliferation of video sources on-board today’s tactical ground vehicles has resulted in the need for modern video equipment to ensure the video’s usability and availability. Increasing demand for cost-effective, size, weight, and power (SWaP) optimized video management and rugged display solutions is driven by video system upgrades or new video system architectures required to maximize video source usefulness. – is often challenging due to a number of factors. This white paper analyzes the challenges in choosing video system components that will keep system cost and footprint down in space-constrained environment all while reducing program risk and time to market.
