L3Harris Technologies Demonstrates Antenna Technology for US Space Force Satellite Communications
L3Harris Technologies has successfully completed a technology demonstration, under a Defense Innovation Unit prototype contract, for the U.S. Space Force satellite communication system to improve communications with the agency’s growing number of satellites.
L3Harris developed a Multi-Band Multi-Mission (MBMM) phased array ground antenna system and integrated it with the Space Force’s Satellite Communication Network system in order to demonstrate multiple simultaneous satellite contacts. Traditional parabolic or radio antennas can contact only one satellite at a time.
The MBMM system’s all-digital architecture established 16 simultaneous contacts during the demonstration. The system can scale up to support hundreds of concurrent satellite connections from a single phased array antenna system, reducing the physic

The Defense Digital Service (DDS) and HackerOne today announced the launch of DDS’s eleventh bug bounty program with HackerOne and the third with the U.S. Department of the Army. Hack the Army 3.0 is a time-bound, hacker-powered security test aimed at surfacing vulnerabilities so they can be resolved before they are exploited by adversaries. The bug bounty program is open to both military and civilian participants and will run from January 6, 2021 through February 17, 2021.
Bug bounty programs, like Hack the Army 3.0, incentivize security research and reporting of real-world security vulnerabilities in exchange for monetary rewards for qualified vulnerabilities and participants. These programs are an industry best practice leveraged by the most mature organizations across the world. By disclosing vulnerabilities to security teams, civilian and military hackers will help the U.S. Army secure digital asset
What AI Can and Cannot Do for the Intelligence Community
A realistic appraisal of artificial intelligence shows limits but real promise.
A seasoned intelligence professional can be forgiven for raising her eyebrows about artificial intelligence, a nascent and booming field in which it can be hard to sort real potential from hype. Addressing that raised eyebrow and helping senior leaders understand how to invest precious time and money will take more than vague generalities and myopic case studies. We therefore offer a hypothesis for debate: AI, specifically machine learning, can help with tasks related to collection, processing, and analysis half of the Steps in the Intelligence Cycle but will struggle with tasks related to intelligence planning, dissemination, and evaluation.
