Defense Intelligence Agency · 54 pages · text from the file's own layer

This Defense Intelligence Reference Document from the Defense Intelligence Agency, dated 10 December 2010, is one of a series of advanced technology reports produced in FY 2010 under the Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications (AAWSA) Program. It reviews quantum computing technologies and DNA-based molecular computing for onboard supercomputing on future spacecraft. It forecasts ion-trap quantum computers within 10 years, simple DNA tile computing within 20 years, and self-repairing DNA computers on a 40-year horizon.

substrates and size of legs are adjusted well, the assembly is continuously moving to new
substrate-covered areas. Due to residual binding of deoxyribozymes to products, even if the
spiders were surrounded by the product-covered areas, they would be able to move over
them by ordinary random walk, until they would find substrates again. Importantly,
directional movement of spiders can be accomplished by aligning substrates in directional
paths, for example, by displaying them on self-assembled structures, including origami
(Figure 27). Further, simple computing can be introduced by logic gates as legs. The nano
walker could be hybridized to repair DNA based machinery, including DNA computers, when
they are being assembled, or when they are damaged from cosmic rays, for example.

Figure 26. The Nano walker made at Columbia University is a
protein molecule decorated with three legs--single-stranded
DNAzymes, synthetic DNA molecules that act as enzymes and
catalyze a reaction.
