Collins Aerospace has demonstrated a directional communication system for small unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) under a DARPA program, proving the feasibility of an essential technology for operating in contested airspace without being detected.

Collins Aerospace successfully demonstrated a new directional communication system designed for small platforms such as unmanned aerial systems operating in contested environments. The demonstration, part of the DARPA Pheme project, showed the ability to enable connectivity in the Combined Joint All Domain Command and Control (CJADC2) battlespace.

For 40-plus years, the U.S. Army gauged the physical fitness of its soldiers on pushups, sit-ups and a 2-mile run test. But the Army wanted a better measure of "soldier physical readiness." And now it has it, thanks — in part — to the University of Iowa.

The Army wanted a better measure of ‘soldier physical readiness.’ Now it has it, thanks — in part — to the UI Technology Institute and its Virtual Soldier Research program.

The U.S. Army turned to the University of Iowa for help in determining the effectiveness of its new fitness test, the Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT).

The University of Iowa’s virtual human interface is being studied to potentially make video games more realistic.
