The document summarizes the latest news from the Defense Systems Information Analysis Center (DSIAC). It discusses the U.S. Army's development of autonomous vehicles and weapons to prepare for potential conflicts against technologically advanced adversaries. It also provides information on upcoming defense events, a featured technical inquiry about applications of materials with negative thermal expansion coefficients, and the DSIAC's model of the month on surface-to-air missile simulation software. Recent defense news articles cover topics including new munitions, radar technologies, non-lethal weapons, and 3D printed steel parts.

26 MARCH 2019DIGEST DIGEST 26 MARCH 2019 – THE LATEST FROM DEFENSE SYSTEMS INFORMATION ANALYSIS CENTER Fantastic 5: These 5 Reasons Prove Nothing Can Stop the U.S. Army These were once the stuff of science fiction. But the fact that the U.S. Army has a program called Optionally Manned Fighting Vehicle attests to the rise of the machine. The Army already has a robot test vehicle: an armed, remote-controlled M113 armored personnel carrier, and is vigorously pursuing autonomous trucks that can haul supplies without a driver. The U.S. Army already fields an impressive array of weapons. But as the U.S. Army prepares itself for potential conflicts against high- tech Russian and Chinese armies, the Army is working...

DSIAC received an inquiry asking if a metal with a negative coefficient of thermal expansion would be of interest for designing of defense-related applications. A secondary question was also posed: what major U.S. government (USG) laboratory groups, contractors, academic... Read More MODEL OF THE MONTH ESAMS – Enhanced Surface-to-Air Missile Simulation (ESAMS) is a computer program used to model the interaction between an airborne target and a surface- to-air missile (SAM) air defense system. This simulation provides a one-on-one framework used to evaluate air vehicle survivability, estimate effectiveness, set requirements, and develop tactics. Get this model!
