Radar, electronic warfare (EW), and communication systems are increasingly leveraging gallium nitride (GaN) technology to meet stringent high-performance, high-power, and long life cycle demands of these systems.
The high-speed ADC [analog-to-digital converter] is a primary design consideration in all wideband electronic warfare (EW) receivers; it largely determines system architecture and overall detect-and-observe capability.
Officials at the U.S. Air Force selected Northrop Grumman to upgrade the central computers on 16 aircraft in the E-8C Joint Surveillance Target Attack Radar System (Joint STARS) fleet. The contract is worth $17.5 million.
Officials at the Federal Aviation Administration Logistics Center (FAALC) selected FLIR Systems, Inc. for an indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract in support of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) Mobile Surveillance Capability (MSC) program. The contract is valued at $94.3 million.
U.S. Army officials selected Raytheon to deliver to the government of Poland the Patriot Integrated Air and Missile Defense System including spare parts, support, and training. The contract is worth $1.5 billion and calls for the company to build and deliver four Patriot fire units.
Leonardo DRS and partner Rafael Advanced Defense Systems Ltd. (Haifa, Israel) have completed a lengthy live-fire qualification process for key elements of the lighter-weight TROPHY Vehicle Protection System (VPS), which is used on armored vehicles.
U.S. Air Force officials selected Infoscitex for the Mission Effects Analysis of Multi-Domain Sensing (MEAMS) contract to provide research, development, test, and evaluation (RDTandE) support to the Sensing and Effects Analysis Branch (RYAA) of the Sensors Directorate at the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL).
Department of Defense Milestone Decision Authority officials awarded the U.S. Army and Northrop Grumman Corp.'s joint effort to develop the Common Infrared Countermeasure (CIRCM) system the Milestone C decision, enabling the system to enter production leaving behind the development and testing phase of the program.
The world of high speed connectivity is constantly changing and evolving, which is why we made it easier for you to make smart decisions about which high-speed interconnect products you should use. Everything you need to design your application is at your fingertips in TE Connectivity’s (TE) High-Speed Products Developer Kit.
U.S. Air Force and Lockheed Martin engineers teamed up to modernize the Distributed Common Ground System (DCGS), the Air Force's intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) system, by using agile development methods.
The good news: Newer-generation processing devices offer hugely boosted capability for military applications such as airborne data processing, shipboard electronics, or ground vehicle systems. The bad news: Newer-generation processing devices offer much more capability. Is this really both good news and bad news? In a word, yes.
U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) and BAE Systems officials signed a cooperative agreement for Phase 1 of a technical effort to transition gallium nitride (GaN) semiconductor technology developed by the U.S. Air Force to our Advanced Microwave Products (AMP) Center.
Helicopters will have a role in the kill web as they have in the kill chain dating back to their first uses in warfare. Starting with the Korean War, and later in Vietnam, the helicopter became the cavalry. Anyone serving in the Army during the 1960s and 1970s knows about the 1st Cavalry Division (Airmobile) in Vietnam.
On the modern battlefield, dominating the electromagnetic spectrum is increasingly important. In order to do so, radar, SIGINT and electronic warfare systems must be
able to cover wider and wider bands of the spectrum.
