LEADING OFF
Electro-optical sensors -- those that sense light at a variety of different spectra -- enable warfighters to see at night, detect disturbed soil that might suggest the presence of roadside bombs, detect missile launches, and find tiny boats at sea. While these sensors bolster the U.S. military claims to "own the night," the battlefield capabilities...
IN TECHNOLOGY
The AN/UPX-50(C) digital identification-friend-or-foe (IFF) interrogator is the Navy's upgraded Mode 5 land level 2 and Mode S interrogator.
The AN/WSN-7 ring laser gyro inertial navigation system senses ship motion, and computes the ship's precise position, velocity, attitude, and heading.
The target application of the DARPA SOAP program is elemental digital phased arrays scaled to arbitrary sizes and bandwidths.
MBSE uses digital models to specify and design complex systems by creating a digital representation of the systems behavior, structure, and requirements.
IN CONTRACTS
The TRV-150 can deliver ammunition, weapons, food and water, medical supplies, and other crucial equipment to Marines on the battlefield.
The MH-47G is an advanced heavy-lift helicopter that is operated by the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (SOAR) at Fort Campbell, Ky.
Special Operations aircraft can at low altitudes covertly at night to insert and remove commando forces for operations behind enemy lines.
The companies will compete to develop a microwave sounder for NOAA’s Near-Earth Orbit Network (NEON) program.
