THE BIG STORY
Radar and computer processors locate incoming anti-tank missiles and rocket-propelled grenades, and detonate the incoming munitions away from the tank.
EW TECHNOLOGIES
The MuSTeR program seeks to enhance U.S. military sensor system research by using the entire electromagnetic spectrum for global persistent awareness.
SEWIP Block 2 is an evolutionary acquisition and incremental development program to upgrade the existing AN/SLQ-32(V) electronic warfare system.
DARPA experts want promising technologies to improve resilience, responsiveness, range, lethality, access, endurance, and affordability.
The LCEI should be autonomous aircraft, avionics, and sensors with hard-kill systems effective against groups 1, 2, and smaller group 3 aircraft.
EW CONTRACTS
The LRASM seeker has long-range sensors and targeting that help the stealthy missile find and engage protected enemy ships amid jamming and spoofing.
SEWIP will upgrade the existing AN/SLQ-32(V) surface warship EW system and provide improved anti-ship missile defense and situational awareness.
Combining Thales radio and Persistent MANET network use a radio-over-IP capability to link the Thales radio to the Persistent wireless network.
BlackHorse engineers will concentrate on improved RF sensing systems for situational awareness and targeting applications in MuSTeR research program.
EW PRODUCTS
The compact size of the AM9018 and AM9030 modules brings fast broadband RF processing to mission-critical operations in harsh environments.
For improved protection against cyber attacks, the U-C9140 embedded computing board also includes QorIQ Secure Boot and Trust Architecture 2.0.
A mean time between failures (MTBF) increase of 10 times that of the TWT it replaces is achieved for improved reliability and low maintenance costs.
These 4-by-3-millimeter devices use embedded fuse and heater elements that interrupt the charging or discharging circuit to protect the battery pack.
