DARPA Shatters Records with Long-Range Wireless Power Beaming

2025-06-16

DARPA's Persistent Optical Wireless Energy Relay (POWER) program has achieved a breakthrough, setting new records for wireless power transmission. The POWER Receiver Array Demo (PRAD) successfully beamed over 800 watts of power over a distance of 8.6 kilometers (5.3 miles) for 30 seconds. This accomplishment utilizes a novel receiver technology converting laser energy into usable electricity with over 20% efficiency. Scalable for use in platforms such as UAVs, this technology promises to revolutionize military energy supply, eliminating reliance on traditional, vulnerable methods.

NOMARS: The Unmanned Surface Vessel Revolution

2025-03-10

The No Manning Required Ship (NOMARS) program has successfully completed construction of the USX-1 Defiant, a 180-foot, 240-metric-ton unmanned surface vessel (USV). Designed from the keel up without any human crew considerations, Defiant aims to revolutionize naval architecture. By eliminating the human element, NOMARS anticipates significant advantages in size, cost, reliability, hydrodynamic efficiency, sea-state survivability, and adversary resistance through stealth and tamper-proofing. Scheduled for sea trials in Spring 2025, Defiant promises a cost-effective path to a distributed USV fleet.
