On-demand access to public safety data is critical to ensuring that public safety and first responder (PSFR) personnel can deliver the proper care and support during an emergency. This necessitates heavy reliance on mobile platforms while in the field, which may be used to access sensitive information. However, complex authentication requirements can hinder the process…
Agentic artificial intelligence (AI) is emerging as a transformative capability for the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD). Agentic AI systems can execute complex tasks independently. Unlike traditional AI, these agents can proactively analyze data, make decisions, and act with minimal human intervention. Within the DoD, the concept of agentic warfare reflects a growing shift from isolated AI tools to integrated systems designed for strategic, operational,…

As more connected devices demand an increasing amount of bandwidth for tasks like teleworking and cloud computing, it will become extremely challenging to manage the finite amount of wireless spectrum available for all users to share. Engineers are employing artificial intelligence to dynamically manage the available wireless spectrum, with an eye toward reducing latency and boosting performance. But most AI methods for classifying and processing…

While breakthrough results over the past few years have garnered headlines proclaiming the dawn of quantum supremacy, they have also masked a nagging problem that researchers have been staring at for decades: Demonstrating the advantages of a quantum computer is only half the battle; verifying that it has produced the right answer is just as important. Now, researchers at JQI and the University of Maryland…

In today’s hyperconnected world, wireless communication faces a critical challenge known as the “spectrum crunch.” Spectrum crunch results from more devices vying for limited frequencies, creating an overcrowded radio frequency spectrum — a bottleneck that disrupts communication. Spectrum crunch threatens not only everyday conveniences like cellphone connectivity but also essential services, such as emergency response times, global positioning systems, and military operations. When Hussein Moradi…
