The Heterostructural Uncooled Magnetic Sensors (HUMS) program sponsored by the Defense Advanced Research
Projects Agency (DARPA/DSO) is focused on developing magnetic field sensors that operate at room temperature with
an ultra-sensitivity to enable applications such as through-wall imaging, perimeter fences, tagging/tracking, and other
man-portable operations. Four teams of researchers are participating in the program, with Virginia Tech and University
of Maryland leading multiferroic heterostructural materials development and Princeton University and the National
Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) leading atomic vapor cell development. Leveraging the strengths of these
two technologies, each team has made advancements towards the program goal of ground-breaking sensitivity, reduced
noise, and portability while operating under room temperature conditions. This paper summarizes the program's
achievements so far and highlights the accomplishments made by each team.
