Species from rats to birds to humans have been observed to turn to their peers for efficient learning of useful knowledge. One of the most important mechanisms for the transmission of this knowledge is imitation. However, explaining the mechanisms underlying the imitative abilities of hu ...

London, England UAV systems are changing the way that armed forces around the world think and operate and the huge potential for commercial applications in certain key areas is becoming recognised. However, at this very early stage in the development of a concept that has the power to change the shape of the 21st century, it is not always easy to identify the best ways forward, to determine the customer need or to formulate the technical and business challenges. The Society has a major interest ...

Washington, DC The glowing success of UAVs in Iraq and Afghanistan have further validated increased funding for current and future unmanned platforms. DoD plans to spend over $10 billion on UAVs by 2010, including $4 billion for UCAVs. With missions ranging from surveillance to air strike, the UCAV and UAV potential spans virtually every net-centric mission area and capability for the DoD. As the missions will inevitably increase, so will the demand for new weaponized platforms. Predator and Gl ...
