Friday Night News Dump

How many dinky companies can alter the world's geo-political equation and balance of power? Javelin, ENVG III, F-35, IDVS..Javelin: The Tank-Killer Missile Russia Hates Most




The Javelin’s Command Launch Unit—CLU—has a sophisticated infrared sensor with multiple viewing modes, including 4x optical zoom, a 4x green-lit thermal view, and a 12x narrow-vision zoom activated for targeting. The seeker in the missile even provides a fourth 9x thermal viewing mode. The CLU can therefore serve as a handy scanning device for the infantry. The thermal viewers on the Javelin needs to be cooled off to function well, which theoretically takes 30 seconds, but might take a bit longer if you’re in Baghdad and it’s a breezy 120 degrees at noon. The system also incorporates multiple safeguards to avert or abort accidental launch.

The F-35 works, Engines, Networking and eMagin Enabled Helmet..F-35 Ascending: The Pentagon's Biggest Program Had Its Best Year Ever In 2017

If you haven't followed this saga closely, I can explain in simple terms why F-35 is a game-changer. First, the "low observable" (stealth) features built into the airframe from its inception make it nearly invisible to enemy radar. Second, its ability to fuse inputs from on-board and off-board sensors gives pilots comprehensive situational awareness. Third, its secure networking technology allows all the pilots in a strike group to share the same operational picture. Fourth, its Pratt & Whitney engine delivers unprecedented performance.

Qualcomm’s New Snapdragon 845 Improves VR and AR Performance

CPU Improvements
I am very excited to see what Snapdragon 845 will do for the XR industry, especially the standalone VR and AR solutions that are highly dependent on performance, thermals, and latency. So, what are the improvements exactly? The new Snapdragon 845 Kryo 385 features eight new CPU cores with four ARM Cortex A75 cores and four Cortex A55 cores. These CPU cores are the fastest and most efficient cores that ARM has ever produced, and Qualcomm tweaked them to improve performance and latency. This new CPU improves performance by as much as 25-30 percent which is necessary for freeing up compute resources for other tasks and ensuring high frame rates.

Every one, all around the world...

I wonder if Dr. Fan ever really understood what "stealth" meant....

The possibility is real now that the DAS and Sensor Fusion is Working Properly Thanks to the OLED Display in the New Helmet..F-35 Sensor Performs Ballistic Missile Defense Missions The F-35’s Distributed Aperture Sensor (DAS) has performed an airborne identification and trajectory-oriented target tracking of a ballistic missile in a test off Hawaii

Using early applications of artificial intelligence, computers and aircraft relied upon advanced algorithms to organize sensor information - which was then transmitted to a pilot.
As a key element of the F-35s much-discussed “sensor fusion technology,” the DAS draws upon a 360-degree sensor field of view generated by six cameras strategically placed around the aircraft. The sensor autonomously fuses data from all of the sensors into a single field of view for the pilot.
“With an automated picture, we can get the pilot everything he needs without him needing to go through every step,” Bama said.

Ok fellers, if you click on the tweet then click on the heart ...

💖 you will see that Mr. Garbe "liked" Mr. Kowalski's guess as to the nature of the device. Kowalski's guess was that he might have been beta-testing a prototype of a mixed reality HMD with eMagin 2kX2k displays You really think this guy doesn't know the difference and that's why he is working at Magic Leap now? Look at Garbe's timeline. He lives in a parallel universe. It frightens me that there may be more than one of him out there. He is not going to F around with a 640x480 dinosaur like a z800.

eMagin HMD, MR/AR/XR. You name it Jacob Garbe.

Yes, old news..Magic Leap Seeks to Raise Another $500 Million (Report)

Mixed reality hardware startup Magic Leap is in talks to raise a new $500 million round of funding, according to Bloomberg. The new financing is reportedly being led by Singapore-based Temasek Holdings, and would value the company at around $6 billion.


Magic Leap previously raised more than $1.3 billion from investors including Google, Alibaba and Qualcomm, and was valued $4.5 billion at the point of its last fundraise in early 2016. The company, which is headquartered in Florida, has been developing a pair of mixed reality glasses that would superimpose digital animation over a view of the real world.

Really? neat...

eMagin Display are FR capable, anybody know if the Kopin's Lighning is also? Want to look into that DZ?

Just a fun watch...

Last Feb but somewhat interesting, need one of those police whiteboards, suspects crossed out, circled, eventually winnowing down THE person of interest...
