EXECUTIVE SUITE
M2 Bradley is an infantry fighting vehicle for reconnaissance, to transport a squad of infantry, and keep up with heavy armor like M1 Abrams tanks.
PROCUREMENT OPPORTUNITIES
Air Force wants new techniques that enable RF and microwaves that autonomously find open radio frequencies and choose the most efficient RF waveforms.
TIAMAT seeks to develop fast autonomy transfer methods that learn and refine models and simulations based on experience to enable same-day autonomy.
Air Force researchers want to design an ultra-broadband radio that dynamically adjusts carrier frequency, output power, and data rate above 100 GHz.
GeoPEX seeks to provide geospatial intelligence (GEOINT) from imagery, imagery intelligence, or geospatial data and information.
DESIGN-IN CASE STUDIES
Once launched, GXS will be the first hyperspectral infrared sounder flown by the United States in geostationary orbit.
These batteries, designed specifically for the Gripen, feature extreme low-temperature operational life cycles for extended service.
The BAE Systems MPE-M receiver delivers geolocation, precise positioning, security, and anti-jamming capabilities for space-constrained applications.
Company will develop and build the Marine Corps Wideband Satellite Communication-Light and -Heavy (MCWS-L/H) for the forward edge of the battlefield.
EXECUTIVE BUSINESS
The LCMR provides 360-degree surveillance and 3D rocket, artillery, and mortar location using a non-rotating, electronically steered antenna.
The eCASS equipment is designed to help sailors and Marines to troubleshoot and repair aircraft assemblies and return the avionics to service quickly.

The MTM program aims to develop sensors and exploitation techniques capable of performing wide-area searches to detect high-value targets.
The IBCS is to be an air command-and-control (C2) system to commanders make quick decisions and adapt quickly to changing battlefield conditions.
ACQUISITION & LOGISTICS
The passive surface-to-air missile can be shoulder-fired by one operator, and can acquire the target when the target approaches the operator.
Dual-band radar is particularly difficult to jam, and poses a serious threat to U.S. aircraft that must operate in contested airspace.
The Navy Northrop Grumman E-2D Advanced Hawkeye is a tactical airborne early warning (AEW) aircraft designed to operate from aircraft carriers.
The Collins MAPS Gen II system is designed to boost protection against GPS jamming by using Military Code (M-Code) and modernized signal tracking.
