DATA BURSTS
Company receives second U.S. patent for radiation-hardened zinc oxide thin-film transistors for space uses
DARPA approaches industry for cyber security for warfighters in the field to enhance situational awareness
Wanted: thermal management techniques for 3D integrated circuits to be used in artificial intelligence (AI)
Navy picks Collins Aerospace to provide Very Low Frequency (VLF) command-and-control for nuclear forces
THE BIG STORY
2024 DOD budget -- $26 billion larger than this year -- funds hypersonic missiles, artificial intelligence
Budget includes $145 billion for research, and $170 billion for procurement -- including modernizing U.S. nuclear forces on land, sea, and in the air.
TRUSTED TECH TRENDS
BAE Systems to provide electronic warfare (EW) radar and missile countermeasures avionics for F-35 jets
The system provides countermeasures, jamming options, and broadband protection to help the F-35 reach well-defended targets and suppress enemy radars.
Raytheon to build 15 airborne electronic warfare (EW) jammer pods to help EA-18G jet disrupt enemy radar
The NGJ midband is an advanced electronic attack system that denies, disrupts, and degrades enemy communications and air-defense radar systems.
Jam-resistant secure communications waveform that uses no keys introduced by Digital Matrix Solutions
CloakCom uses a specialized, stochastic, and keyless algorithm designed to remove waveform features without degrading the bandwidth.
IS4S to use open-systems standards like SOSA for battlefield positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT)
This PNT project seeks technical approaches to enable the soldier to operate in hostile RF- and GPS-denied environments during urban fighting.
TRUSTED BUSINESS
Network-attached storage with encryption for data-at-rest on military planes introduced by Curtiss-Wright
The DTS1+ can store and protect data on helicopters, jet fighters, unmanned vehicles, and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance aircraft.
Rugged network data storage for military and aerospace edge computing introduced by Phoenix International
RPC16 network-attached data storage has a removable magazine that holds 16 solid-state or hard-disk drives that users can remove to offload data.
Intel Xeon-based rugged servers for edge artificial intelligence (AI) and sensor fusion offered by Mercury
Servers have PCI Express 5.0 fabrics, NVIDIA H100 GPGPUs, 400-gigabit-per-second network cards, high-speed DDR5 memory, and Compute Express Link (CXL).
Radiation-tolerant low-dropout voltage regulator for power electronics in space introduced by Microchip.
The high-current, low-voltage MIC69303RT is for space power management, and is sampling in plastic and hermetic ceramic packaging.
