A team of physicists at the University of Rochester has discovered how to defeat the latest active radar jamming methods by taking advantage of the quantum properties of photons. While this new anti-jamming technology cannot remove the false information, it provides an immediate alert that false information is being received.  <a href="/web/20130116010952/http://www.gizmag.com/quantum-enhanced-radar-cant-be-fooled-by-electronic-detection-countermeasures/25564/" class="readmore_link">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item " data-article="25607"> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20130116010952/http://www.gizmag.com/darpa-saic-actuv-drone/25607/">DARPA's sub-hunting drone appears in concept video</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <div>By <a href="/web/20130116010952/http://www.gizmag.com/author/jason-falconer/">Jason Falconer</a></div> <div class="date">January 2, 2013</div> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <div class="has_comments"><a href="/web/20130116010952/http://www.gizmag.com/darpa-saic-actuv-drone/25607/#comments">5 Comments</a></div> <div class="has_pictures"><a href="/web/20130116010952/http://www.gizmag.com/darpa-saic-actuv-drone/25607/pictures">10 Pictures</a></div> </div> </div> </div> <a class="noback hero_link" href="/web/20130116010952/http://www.gizmag.com/darpa-saic-actuv-drone/25607/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130116010952im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/saic-actuv.jpg" title="The ACTUV uses a very high-frequency sonar to take an acoustic image of its target, which ..." alt="The ACTUV uses a very high-frequency sonar to take an acoustic image of its target, which ..."/></a> <div class="summary"> <p> The murky details of DARPA's sub-hunting drone project are a bit clearer, thanks to a new concept video published by Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC).
