2024/03/21 Extending the Golden Hour for Enhanced and Timely Combat Care

DARPA - Thu, 2024-03-21 00:00
DARPA's GOLDen hour extended EVACuation, or GOLDEVAC, program aims to test whether a field medic could manage a complex polytrauma patient via automated resuscitation tools, starting near the point of injury and continuing throughout the entire evacuation process. Specifically, GOLDEVAC seeks to determine whether it is possible to resuscitate and oxygenate a patient, for up to two days, via a single tube inserted into a patient's blood vessel, without the risk of blood clots or bleeding.

2024/02/29 Voices from DARPA Podcast Episode 76: The Quantum Logician

DARPA - Thu, 2024-02-29 00:00
In this episode we hear from quantum physicist Dr. Mukund Vengalattore, a program manager in DARPA's Defense Sciences Office, who oversees a portfolio of fundamental research programs aimed at unlocking new quantum insights and overcoming challenges to enable revolutionary capabilities for defense. These include harnessing atoms and superconducting structures for novel sensing applications (imagine tiny, super-sensitive antennas, infrared detectors or gyroscopes that vastly outperform much larger antennas, IR cameras, and gyroscopes of today); developing better quantum bits (qubits) for quantum computing (including using photons to encode information in novel ways); enabling field-deployable, tactical-grade mobile atomic clocks for our troops; and discovering new quantum materials for applications ranging from quantum computing to biomedical imaging.
