CorTec Receives FDA Breakthrough Designation for Brain-Computer Interface in Stroke Rehabilitation

CorTec Receives FDA Breakthrough Designation for Brain-Computer Interface in Stroke Rehabilitation

CorTec has been granted the 'Breakthrough Device Designation' by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its Brain Interchange system, a fully implantable brain-computer interface (BCI) aimed at aiding motor recovery in stroke patients. This designation is specifically for the use of direct cortical electrical stimulation to treat chronic stroke-related impairments, marking the first BCI globally to receive such recognition for stroke motor rehabilitation. The FDA's Breakthrough Device program is designed to expedite the development and review of technologies that may offer more effective treatment for life-threatening or irreversibly debilitating conditions. CorTec's system combines neural signal recording with adaptive stimulation in a closed-loop architecture, designed to interpret brain signals and deliver therapeutic stimulation to restore motor function. The platform is currently under evaluation in an FDA-approved investigational device exemption study at the University of Washington in Seattl...

Pentagon and Lockheed Martin Finalize $4.7 Billion Deal to Boost PAC-3 Interceptor Production

Pentagon and Lockheed Martin Finalize $4.7 Billion Deal to Boost PAC-3 Interceptor Production

The Pentagon has finalized a $4.7 billion contract with Lockheed Martin to accelerate the production of the Patriot Advanced Capability-3 (PAC-3) Missile Segment Enhancement interceptors. This agreement follows a framework established in January, aiming to deliver record numbers of these interceptors to American and allied forces. Lockheed Martin's president of Missiles and Fire Control, Tim Cahill, emphasized the company's investments in facilities, workforce, and supply chain to ensure delivery at scale and speed. The PAC-3 interceptors are designed to identify and track threats, including ballistic missiles and hypersonics, using Boeing-made PAC-3 seekers. The interceptors engage and eliminate threats through direct body-to-body contact. The contract comes amid scrutiny over the U.S. military's reliance on costly interceptors against cheaper munitions, such as those deployed by Iran during Operation Epic Fury.
