Broyles Special Activities and Innovation Operations Evaluation Group Copyright © 2017 CNA Abstract The military is on the cusp of a major technological revolution, in which warfare is conducted by unmanned and increasingly autonomous weapon systems. However, unlike the last “sea change,” during the Cold War, when advanced technologies were developed primarily by the Department of Defense (DoD), the key technology enablers today are being developed mostly in the commercial world. This study looks at the state-of-the-art of AI, machine-learning, and robot technologies, and their potential future military implications for autonomous (and semi-autonomous) weapon systems. While no one can predict how AI will evolve or predict its impact on the development of military autonomous systems, it is possible to anticipate many of the conceptual, technical, and operational challenges that DoD will face as it increasingly turns to AI-based technologies.

Lawrence Creative Services Director (813) 740-3206 | [email protected] SOLEDAD O’BRIEN TO HOST OCTOBER 15TH PRIMETIME SPECIAL ON WMOR-TV ON AMERICA’S OPIOID CRISIS As Part of Ongoing Project to Address Crisis, Hearst Also Renews Successful Partnership with DEA on Nationwide Drug Take-Back Initiative [Tampa, FL] October 12, 2017 – To help focus attention on the crisis, MOR-TV will televise a primetime one-hour special encore on this Sunday, October 15th at 10 p.m. to address America’s opioid epidemic. Originally aired LIVE on September 13th, across the entire Hearst Television Station Group. The special, “Matter of Fact: State of Addiction,” is part of a year-long multi-platform news and investigative series, supplemented with community- based efforts, that Hearst Television launched in January 2017 to inform local audiences of the opioid crisis and efforts to develop solutions. “Matter of Fact: State of Addiction” will originate from the Newseum in Washington, D.C., where it will be hosted by award-winning journalist Soledad O’Brien, who also hosts Hearst Television’s acclaimed weekly syndicated political magazine show “Matter of Fact with Soledad O’Brien.” The program however will venture far afield from Washington and will feature live inserts from the Hearst stations, interaction with the stations’ news anchors addressing the crisis in their respective markets, field reports from around the country, social-media elements to enable viewer engagement, and interviews – which will be confirmed closer to airdate -- with major national figures engaged with the crisis. The Hearst Television stations serve 26 media markets across 39 states reaching more than 21 million U.S.

  • List of Directv Channels (United States)
    List of DirecTV channels (United States) Below is a numerical representation of the current DirecTV national channel lineup in the United States. Some channels have both east and west feeds, airing the same programming with a three-hour delay on the latter feed, creating a backup for those who missed their shows. The three-hour delay also represents the time zone difference between Eastern (UTC -5/-4) and Pacific (UTC -8/-7). All channels are the East Coast feed if not specified. High definition Most high-definition (HDTV) and foreign-language channels may require a certain satellite dish or set-top box. Additionally, the same channel number is listed for both the standard-definition (SD) channel and the high-definition (HD) channel, such as 202 for both CNN and CNN HD. DirecTV HD receivers can tune to each channel separately. This is required since programming may be different on the SD and HD versions of the channels; while at times the programming may be simulcast with the same programming on both SD and HD channels. Part time regional sports networks and out of market sports packages will be listed as ###-1. Older MPEG-2 HD receivers will no longer receive the HD programming. Special channels In addition to the channels listed below, DirecTV occasionally uses temporary channels for various purposes, such as emergency updates (e.g. Hurricane Gustav and Hurricane Ike information in September 2008, and Hurricane Irene in August 2011), and news of legislation that could affect subscribers. The News Mix channels (102 and 352) have special versions during special events such as the 2008 United States Presidential Election night coverage and during the Inauguration of Barack Obama.
