EXECUTIVE SUITE
The DARPA MuS2 project seeks to create a source for a muon beam strong enough to support demonstrations of national security and scientific uses.
PROCUREMENT OPPORTUNITIES
Experts have a need to characterize ultra-fast pulses from suspected electromagnetic warfare signals with a high degree of sampling fidelity.
The DARPA ECOLE project seeks proposals in human language technology; computer vision; AI; reasoning; and human-computer interaction.
SOAR will identify promising new approaches to optical beam steering in miniature form factors, and demonstrate receivers with small apertures.
Goal is new room-temperature IR detectors to bridge the gap between room-temperature microbolometers and cryogenic quantum-limited IR photodetectors.
DESIGN-IN CASE STUDIES
The EOSS electro-optics system is a check sight and targeting sensor for anti-surface and anti-air warfare and naval gun fire support missions.
Sponsors include the Navy, Marine Corps, Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA); and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
The AMC Type 4, which first was flight tested in 2012, increases computing power and accelerates the Growler's image and mission processing functions.
IBCS is to be a revolutionary air command-and-control system to help commanders make decisions and adapt quickly to changing battlefield conditions.
EXECUTIVE BUSINESS
DAS collects real-time imagery from six infrared (IR) cameras mounted around the aircraft and sends the imagery to the pilot’s helmet-mounted display.
The CEC is an anti-aircraft maritime tactical sensor and weapons network that combines information from aircraft and surface vessels over wide areas.
ADAP payloads lure missiles away from their intended targets with advanced electronic techniques, and are an upgrade to the existing Nulka decoy.
Upgrades to to enhance the aircraft's ability to prevent controlled flight into terrain when the pilot is fixated on a target during an attack dive.
ACQUISITION & LOGISTICS
The AN/APG-79 AESA radar provides F/A-18 aircrew situational awareness, near-instantaneous track updates, and multi-target tracking capability.
The KC-46 aircraft is based on the Boeing 767-200 widebody passenger jet, and can refuel all U.S. and allied military aircraft.
This imaging radar is a is a multimode real-time, high-resolution reconnaissance system carried on the U-2 Dragon Lady high-altitude reconnaissance jet.
AMRAAM is an active radar-intercept missile with electronic protection capabilities for air-to-air applications against massed penetration aircraft.
