LEADING OFF
Trident II D5 is It is the primary U.S. sea-based nuclear ballistic missile, and is deployed aboard U.S. Navy Ohio-class ballistic missile submarines.
IN TECHNOLOGY
Goals are launch and recovery; extended endurance and range; high tactical payload to weight ratio; robust flight controls; and autonomous navigation.
UAVs would have lethal and non-lethal weapons, and would be for units from the 4,413-soldier brigade combat team, to the 10-soldier infantry squad.
A drone owned by FlyTech, an Israeli drone operation company, was controlled by FlightOps, an autonomous system that performed missions day and night without human assistance.
Airbus identified hydrogen as one of the most promising alternatives to power a zero-emission aircraft, because it emits no carbon dioxide when generated from renewable energy, with water being its most significant by-products.
IN CONTRACTS
Launchers will fire the Army's future long-range Precision Strike Missile (PrSM) -- a surface-to-surface, all weather, precision-strike guided missile.
The Proficient Research of Onboard Subsystems Technology (PROST) project will capitalize on commercially and government-developed sensor technologies.
Liberty Lifter seaplane will have extended operations in high sea states, be affordable to produce, and have complex flight and sea-surface controls.
The CubeSats will be ferried into space by Phantom's two-stage Daytona rocket, which can transport satellites up to 450 kg (990 pounds) into low-Earth orbit.
NEWS FROM OUR ALL-ACCESS MEMBERS
Designed with the engineering developer in mind, the 524 Series development system incorporates a 9-slot OpenVPX backplane (9 payloads + 2 power slots) with profiles aligned to Sensor Open Systems Architecture (SOSA™) and C4ISR/EW MOSA.
VPX system integration is complex and requires a versatile development platform. LCR’s 19” 3U VPX Development Chassis for small to large scale projects is a rackmount or desktop solution for VPX and SOSA aligned payloads.
Part of our 1400 Series of conduction cooled enclosures with air assist, the 1440 is designed to maintain safe operating temperatures for high slot count 3U VPX systems and may be used as a deployment or development chassis.
IN BUSINESS
The KC-46A is based on the Boeing 767-200 widebody passenger jet. The multirole aerial tanker can refuel U.S., allied, and coalition military aircraft.
Mercury will provide data transfer units, secret serial advanced technology attachment encryption module cables, and high-definition video recorders.
ESSM is a medium-range, semi-active homing missile that makes flight corrections via radar and midcourse data uplinks to provide ship self-defense.
The SWITCH project is focused on developing a novel propulsion concept built from two technologies: Water Enhanced Turbofan (WET) and hybrid-electric propulsion.
FEATURED WHITE PAPERS
Simulation software allows on-demand and easy access to any target system, more efficient collaboration between developers, and more efficient and stable automation.
This whitepaper details the history of capacitors and specifications capacitors need to be compatible for use on space-based applications.
Learn how to validate safety architecture, system requirements, and operational processes to best meet safety requirements in a virtualized environment.
Keeping a new deployable system on schedule is a constant challenge. Closely related is demonstrating progress to your customer. These hurdles become even higher when significant customization is required.
IN PRODUCTS
MIL-STD 1399-300B requires all the phase currents to be balanced to within plus-or-minus 5 percent for ships and plus-or-minus 3 percent for submarines.
To sharpen their combat skills, military combat pilots need to train in mock air-to-air combat with other pilots operating as adversaries.
Advanced Photonix's silicon and InGaAs SMT detectors come in wavelengths from ultraviolet (UV) to near infrared (300 nanometers to 1700 nanometers).
The power integrated circuit works with scalable power designs to 130 Watts when optimized using CoolMOS P7 Superjunction (SJ) MOSFETs.
