#Researchers develop harder ceramic for armor windows The Department of defense needs materials for armor windows that provide essential protection for both personnel
To meet that need scientists at the U s. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) have developed a method to fabricate nanocrystalline spinel that is 50%harder than the current spinel armor materials used in military vehicles.
This harder spinel offers the potential for better armor windows in military vehicles which would give personnel and equipment such as sensors improved protection along with other benefits.
In current applications spinel and sapphire (which is also very hard) are used to create materials for military armor windows.
The armor material used by the military needs to be transparent so that both equipment and personnel can see.
Beyond the use for a harder spinel in armor windows there could be other potential Dod and civilian applications in better/stronger office windows smartphones and tablets screens military/civilian vehicles

#Are Drones A Fad Or Here For good? Drones are seen no longer just as a tool of the military
or a toy that people use to fly around. Theye becoming accepted as a tool that businesses can deploy,
and every day more and more companies are being created to build drone prototypes and software to help them fly,
This is the golden age of drones, and it is just taking off. Take consumer perception roneis a household word.
Check out the number of drone videos on Youtube (827 000). ) According to Frost and Sullivan, an aerospace research firm,
over 200,000 drones were sold each month in 2014. Parrot, a french drone maker, reported sales of over $47 million in drones in 2013.
Whether we like it or not, we are going to be seeing more drones in the sky and on the news,
and they will get cheaper, faster and more reliable. Here, I want to go into some reasons why
I think drones are not just a fad but are here to stay. The Trend of Drones in Industry While still not commonplace
drones are beginning to appear in many different industry settings, where their ease of use and huge costs savings over traditional methods,
it makes it a no brainer for companies. Construction companies are not always first movers when it comes to new technology,
but when it comes to drones, they have taken really a liking to them. Companies like Bouygues, Balfour Beatty and Webcor are using drones to map construction sites.
They are employing drones made by Skycatch, which recently made a deal with Japan Komatsu to enable driverless bulldozers to take instructions from unmanned drones.
You may not have known it but youe probably already seen a lot of footage taken by drones on TV.
Big brands like Walmart, BMW and Nike have taken videos using drones. Video production companies have been very quick to use drones to get difficult-to-reach shots.
Modern drones now use steady-cam like gimbals to make videos look super smooth. As drones get more sophisticated,
expect to see more drone-made movies. Farmers are increasingly using drones to monitor crop health and gauge growth patterns.
This is a job well-suited to drones, as previously helicopters would have had to do this job,
at great expense. Companies like Precision Hawk are developing software and hardware that automatically measures the height of crops
and detect weeds, and they can even count plants. These kinds of drones are using fixed wings,
which mean they can stay in the air for much longer, and capture a lot more data than a DJI-like quadcopter.
Jay Bregman, the former CEO of Hailo, is verified developing database of drones, that will allow people to know where you can
and cannot fly a drone. Saving Lives Many of you will have seen the defibrillator drone which is still an idea,
but could be a reality very soon. These kinds of drones could be useful for cities with dense traffic.
A drone like this could fly across heavy traffic and deliver lifesaving equipment in under three minutes.
For places with no roads to speak of, companies like Matternet are creating drones that will deliver medicine.
Then there are drones that will deliver life vests to drowning victims, or when a life guard can get to a person on time.
The average human takes 90 seconds to reach and save a drowning victim who is 75 meters from the beach.
It takes a drone 22 seconds. Why send a human into a blazing inferno when you can send a robot?
Drone America, a company based in Reno, Nev. recently unveiled a drone that can capture heat signatures,
analyze the chemical, biological, and radiological threats before someone actually gets to the fire. Police have been buying up drones for years now,
as the cost of running helicopters is compared very high to sending up a drone for a short period of time.
Whatever you think about the surveillance state, drones will continue to be used by law enforcement and security forces.
Transportation The idea of a drone taking you to work is still a Jetsons kind of idea,
but there one company in Santa cruz, Calif.,that plans to kill your commute. Joby Aviation is building an ambitious aircraft:
A personal craft that can lift off vertically, fly 200 miles and land vertically, all on battery power.
While still several years away, the technology this company is developing could pave the way for new advances in personal transportation.
I took a visit to their HQ and was blown away by the work theye doing on VTOL technology,
Some people think that drones could be the next trend in personal transportation. While this is some ways off,
The promise of personal drones is one where youl jump into some kind of craft from your rooftop,
Think about the huge opportunity of drones in the future, and what kind of software and hardware will have to be developed to manage that growth.
There are very few companies out there today creating software to make drones safer. What about systems to manage where drones can
and cannot legally go? How will we know who owns a drone when the next one crashes into a famous person lawn?
There is no equivalent of the DMV for drones yet, or safety belts or airbags. Drones could spur demand for lighter batteries or a different kind of power source.
Drones need to see where they are going and avoid obstacles, and software is going to have to be built to make all of these dreams a reality.
There are so many great applications for drones, we haven even begun to scratch the surface. Whatever happens, drones are here to stay p

#With Skyspecs#Guardians The Drones Have Become Self-Aware Skyspecs has solved the biggest problem with drones:
With the company first product launching today at Techcrunch Hardware Battlefield 2015 drones become aware of their surroundings
If a person walks towards the spinning blades of death the drone will casually back out of the way.
If there is a tree in the way the drone will avoid it. Best of all this system works with existing drone platforms.
Skyspecsteam has been building drones for six years and and individuals in the company come from teams that won the 2012 international aerial competition
and the prestigious DARPA sponsored AGICCOMPETITION. These guys know drones. Guardian is the company initial product
and they tell me it the first product to offer this sort of capability. It works as advertised
While demoing in Hardware Battlefield at CES 2015 the drone swiftly moved out of the way of a person walking towards the blades.
Guardian drones will be able to avoid say spinning blades on windmills or utility lines. Cofounder Thomas Brady tells me that the founders of the company were previously part of both volunteer and doctoral research in ground sea and air robotics.
