THE BIG STORY
Microbe-based sensors work will include tailoring of input stimuli and output signals, biologically encoded signal processing, and response times.
EMBEDDED DESIGN TRENDS
The E-2D's large saucer-like radar antenna and other advanced avionics, enables it to detect hostile aircraft and missiles at extremely long ranges.
Project seeks to develop quantum computing algorithms and investigate entanglement distribution across a heterogeneous quantum network for C4ISR.
INOD is ruggedized for use with all special forces and U.S. Army sniper weapons -- particularly for long-range target detection and identification.
MAX seeks to achieve at least a 100 times improvement in power efficiency and processing density compared to state-of-the-art digital signal processing.
EMBEDDED DESIGN WINS
DAPS is replacing the Army’s legacy Defense Advanced GPS Receiver (DAGR) for infantry soldiers operating where GPS signals may be limited or denied.
IFOG provides inertial navigation and guidance for the Trident II missile. Nuclear missiles must have ultra-reliable self-contained guidance systems.
Program will solve problems of rapid modernization by sustaining system hardware, software, engineering, and obsolescence early in the design cycle.
The Raytheon AN/SPY-6(V) AMDR will improve the Burke-class destroyer's ability to detect hostile aircraft, surface ships, and ballistic missiles.
EMBEDDED BUSINESS
April has seen major new cyber security projects and contracts to safeguard important military information from computer hackers.
Finding, tracking, and engaging targets requires the ability to detect, track, and maintain tracks across different sensors, DARPA researchers say.
Tough decisions involve challenges with too many or too few options, ambiguous information, and uncertainty about the value of foreseeable outcomes.
The project will increase the effort of cyber attackers by influencing their decision-making, rather than just detecting cyber attacks.
EMBEDDED PRODUCTS
Elma's MORA-Ready Development Platform integrates I/O, Ethernet switch, and RF transceiver card to provide MORA-aligned interfaces.
DDR5 Registered DIMMs feature on-die ECC built into the DRAM memory and support module-level ECC, capable of detecting and correcting multi-bit errors.
The ADK-25850FMC-2 development kit is a dual channel MIL-STD-1553 FPGA Mezzanine Card (FMC) reference design using standard IAW VITA 57.1 form factor.
TI incorporates accelerated vision and AI processing, real-time control, and functional safety capabilities into their TDA4VM processor.
ADDITIONAL RESOURCES
Orca ASICs are energy efficient, and are for low-Earth-orbit satellites due to their low susceptibility to latch-up and single event effects (SEE).
Two-year project seeks to track normal and abnormal engine vibration levels during development, certification testing, and in airline service.
Focus in on advanced RF and digital EW simulations, threat models, sensor evaluations, and cutting-edge technology development in the RF domain.
Radar's active electronic beam scanning helps steer the radar beam at nearly the speed of light to optimize air-to-air and air-to-surface capability.
