TOP OF THE ORDER
APAR will enhance the scientific community's ability to capture detailed observations of the formation and behavior of high-impact weather events.
WEEK IN REVIEW
MuSTeR seeks to enhance U.S. military sensor system research by using the entire electromagnetic spectrum for persistent surveillance and awareness.
It will generate up to 100 megawatts of solar energy and store up to 50 MW of power, enough clean energy to power more than 37,000 homes at peak output.
COTS suppliers have focused on increasing connectivity speeds within and between systems for decades, following the introduction of the VPX standard.
F-35 combat jets represent the first tactical fighter aircraft in 50 years designed without a traditional heads-up display (HUD) in the cockpit.
IN CASE YOU MISSED IT...
Capable of landing in water or on land, the all-environment Puma gives the operator extended flight time and a high level of imaging capability.
NASA seeks support in the development of spacecraft-based instrument components and systems that show promise for use in future planetary missions.
Might such an on-demand power network use only UAV relays, or eventually involve orbiting satellites? The short answer is, it's far too early to tell.
This program will develop air, land, sea, space, cyber, and electromagnetic spectrum capabilities in open-architecture military systems.
ADDITIONAL RESOURCES
NRL needs help with design, prototyping, and evaluation of electromagnetic warfare technologies and ultra-short-pulse and high-energy laser weapons.
The X-66A is NASA's first experimental plane focused on helping the U.S. achieve its goal of net-zero aviation greenhouse gas emissions.
The main danger of Li-ion technology involves the flammability of electrolytes inside the battery cells; damage from aging or abuse can cause fires.
