GlobalX Challenge 26.2: Naval Southern Hemisphere Space Weather and Plasmas (NSHSWP)
Funds a fast test of one applied plasma or space-weather theory for Navy operations in the Southern Hemisphere.
Space weather — the way plasmas and charged particles in the upper atmosphere behave — can degrade the radio links and navigation signals a naval force depends on, and the effects differ by hemisphere. This challenge exists to test one specific theory about that, fast.
The technical subject is Southern Hemisphere space weather and plasmas. Unlike its sibling challenge 26.1, this notice's own desc…
A rapid applied-research challenge proving or disproving a specific theory in Southern Hemisphere space weather and plasma physics, aimed at revolutionary dual-use capability for U.S. Navy and Marine Corps operations, the commercial marketplace, and the public.
