EDITOR'S PERSPECTIVE
JOHN MCHALE, EDITORIAL DIRECTOR
 
Each year, my autumn is marked by the sight of falling leaves, quiet drives through Pennsylvania farmland visiting defense suppliers, and far-from-solitary walks through the Washington, D.C, convention center. I say “far from solitary” as I’m accompanied by the thousands that attend the October defense-industry shows in the nation’s capital. Thankfully, the quiet countryside drive follows the walk through the booths – a nice respite from the buzzing show floors.

INDUSTRY SPOTLIGHT
DAVID JEDYNAK CURTISS-WRIGHT DEFENSE SOLUTIONS
 
The C4ISR/EW [electronic warfare] Modular Open Suite of Standards (CMOSS) is defined by the Combat Capabilities Development Command C5ISR (Command, Control, Computers, Communications, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance) Center. The suite of open architecture industry and U.S. Army standards included in CMOSS enables the reduction of C4ISR system size, weight, and power (SWaP) and facilitates commonality across multiple platforms by enabling the sharing of hardware and software components.

MIL TECH TRENDS
MARK GROVAK, CURTISS-WRIGHT DEFENSE SOLUTIONS
 
A simple but essential truth about military intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) applications is that the sensor bandwidth and compute power needed to support them continuously increases. Today, for example, the Sensor Open System Architecture (SOSA) consortium is driving industry for data recorders that can support 100 Gb Ethernet with encryption to support the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) ISR roadmap.

UNIVERSITY UPDATE
SALLY COLE, SENIOR EDITOR
 
The wave-motion work of a Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI – Worcester, Massachusetts) researcher may lead to bulletproof vests and helmets that can sense the speed, angle of approach, and size of an incoming bullet – allowing the granular materials inside the protective gear to morph their properties to provide greater shock protection at the precise point of impact.

SPECIAL REPORT
DUNCAN MCSPORRAN, KOGNITIV SPARK
 
Augmented-reality (AR) and mixed-reality (MR) technologies present unique opportunities in the defense and aerospace world but at the same time can introduce security risks. AR/MR solutions enable soldiers, technicians, subject matter experts, military strategists, and the like to overlay visual representations – commonly referred to as holograms or heads-up displays – of data, systems, machines, and other information into their real-world space.

Over time, the definition of a tensor has varied across communities from mathematics to quantum physics. Lately, it has joined the machine learning community’s lexicon. If you search the web for the definition of a tensor, you will likely be overwhelmed by the varying explanations and heated discussions. In 1900, Gregorio Ricci Curbastro and his student Tullio Levi-Civita first published their theory of tensor calculus, which is also known as absolute differential calculus.
