Did you know that due to human activity, there are currently over 100 million debris objects greater than 1 mm in size orbiting the earth? Centimeter- and millimeter-sized orbital debris pose the highest risk to space missions operating in Low Earth Orbit, according to a January 2021 National Science & Technology Council NASA...
The Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) public access policy outlined in the February 22, 2013 memorandum, "Increasing Access to the Results of Federally Funded Scientific Research“, directed federal agencies investing in research and development to have a clear plan to increase access to scholarly publications and data...
Maintain a security risk-management process to identify and protect information important to national security. Balance the benefits of acquiring the most innovative research and development (R&D) against the identified risks to national security and the Intelligence Community (IC). Enable the successful...
With the explosion and ubiquity of the Internet of Things in modern life, most people are accustomed to their electronic devices being “always on” and “listening” and asking their mobile phone, tablet, or smart speaker for recipes or directions. However, the trade-off for the convenience smart devices offer is the risk that they may also...
The IARPA ARTS program aims to develop novel algorithms that will modify spontaneous speech in real-time to protect an individual’s privacy. Countless electronics in modern life, like smart phones, digital assistants, televisions, remote controls, and even appliances, have microphones that are always listening for speech...
