LEADING OFF
RF energy of various frequencies, coupled with advanced digital signal processing, helps U.S. and allied forces detect the enemy, pick out targets, and create an interactive picture of the war zone.
IN TECHNOLOGY
Today's test systems technologies for aerospace and defense applications are helping enhance the reliability of increasingly complex computer systems, sensors, software, and power electronics.
The Constellation-class frigates will be able to keep up with fast Navy aircraft carriers, and will have sensors networked with the rest of the fleet.
Satellite payloads will involve electro-optical sensors, RF and microwave sensors, or a combination of both -- including hyperspectral sensors.
ATOM seeks to identify materials operating over broad spectral bandwidths in the visible, midwave infrared, and longwave infrared spectra.
IN CONTRACTS
AM General took over production of the JLTV last February from Oshkosh Defense LLC in Oshkosh, Wis. The JLTV is replacing the venerable HMMWV.
The missile employs a multi-mode sensor suite, weapon data link, and enhanced digital anti-jam Global Positioning System (GPS) to attack targets.
The JASSM-ER is a 2,250-pound cruise missile with a 1,000-pound penetrator and blast-fragmentation warhead that uses precision routing and guidance.
The STC was granted following installation on a Bombardier Lear 60 business jet by sales and installation partner Reliable Jet Maintenance of Boca Raton, FL. Liberty Partners of Okmulgee, OK provided engineering services.
NEWS FROM OUR ALL-ACCESS MEMBERS
An IR lens is an optical lens designed to collimate, focus, or collect infrared light. At Avantier Inc., we produce high performance IR Optics such as IR lenses for use with near-infrared (NIR), short-wave infrared (SWIR), mid-wave infrared (MIR), and long-wave infrared (LWIR) spectra. These Infrared lenses can be customized for specific areas of the infrared spectrum, and are suitable for applications in defense, life science, medical, research, security, surveillance and other industries.Why Choose Avantier for Your Infrared Optics NeedsWhether you require one-off production of single infrared...
MORA Explorer provides visualization and control of MORA aligned hardware enabling development, evaluation, integration and demonstration. Using standard MORA interfaces, the tool automatically discovers device capabilities via zero-configuration networking, provides device information, enables resource configuration and offers sample data plotting. Additionally, users can easily switch between multiple MORA configurations made available by the device MSRP.Learn More
