DARPA has launched a new program aimed at developing a universal translator between different kinds of quantum computers. The Heterogenous Architectures for Quantum (HARQ) program seeks to combine multiple approaches into a single device, with the ultimate goal of creating an 'heterogenous architecture' that can blend the best of multiple technologies.
Breaking Defense reports that the Air Force has made significant progress in its drone wingman program, with first flights completed for prototype drones. The Collaborative Combat Aircraft program aims to develop unmanned systems capable of augmenting military forces.
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has launched a new competition, Lift, aimed at revolutionizing small drone operations. The contest seeks to design unmanned systems that can carry heavy payloads, with a goal of achieving a four-to-one payload-to-weight ratio.
