Vishal Giare has been appointed head of APL’s Air and Missile Defense Sector, where he will lead APL’s efforts to advance the nation’s ability to defend our homeland, deployed forces, allies and partners against increasingly complex adversary threats.

For nearly a decade, Johns Hopkins APL and Blue Canyon Technologies have collaborated on agile, reliable space solutions for government sponsors, enabling faster and more cost-effective space missions across civil space and national security sectors.

A team of researchers from APL and the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health is developing next-generation brain organoid platforms to better understand the effects of mild blast-induced traumatic brain injuries caused by repeated low-level blasts.

Gen. Gregory Guillot, Commander, North American Aerospace Defense Command and U.S. Northern Command, saw firsthand how APL’s advanced technologies and cross-agency expertise support emerging national security priorities, including integrated air and missile defense, multidomain awareness and counter-drone operations.

APL is working with the Naval Sea Systems Command to prove that additive manufacturing can consistently deliver mission-critical components, reducing logistics delays and enhancing fleet readiness.

Researchers have touted the revolutionary potential of quantum computers to take on otherwise intractable challenges, like modeling complex molecular behavior for drug discovery or factoring enormous numbers in use for cryptography schemes. But how such a computer would be created remains unclear. With help from Johns Hopkins APL, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency is attempting to define, in practical terms, what a useful quantum computer looks like and how it must be built.
