THE BIG STORY
By Jim Romeo Many new technologies, processes, and collaborations all are converging on electronic warfare (EW), providing reason to be optimistic and bullish about its future. Jonathan Roberts is an engineer at the RAND Corporation in Santa Monica, Calif., whose research focuses on EW, radar, and low-observable technology."Since the Electromagnetic...
EW TECHNOLOGIES
Air Force wants new techniques that enable RF and microwaves that autonomously find open radio frequencies and choose the most efficient RF waveforms.
Air Force researchers want to design an ultra-broadband radio that dynamically adjusts carrier frequency, output power, and data rate above 100 GHz.
The MTM program aims to develop sensors and exploitation techniques capable of performing wide-area searches to detect high-value targets.
Space-based laser communications has emerged as a ground-breaking solution for data transfer in remote and challenging locations.
EW CONTRACTS
ADAP payloads lure missiles away from their intended targets with advanced electronic techniques, and are an upgrade to the existing Nulka decoy.
The BAE Systems MPE-M receiver delivers geolocation, precise positioning, security, and anti-jamming capabilities for space-constrained applications.
ARC-210 provides VHF close air support communications on 30-88 MHz frequencies; navigation on 108-118 MHz; and air traffic control on 118-137 MHz.
The MQ-4C maritime patrol version of the Northrop Grumman RQ-4 Global Hawk reconnaissance UAV that provides real-time intelligence and surveillance.
EW PRODUCTS
The CMS X08 enables systems designers to eliminate vendor lock-in, simplify technology upgrades, reduce costs, and accelerate workloads.
RF gallium nitride (GaN) amplifier is for communications, electronic warfare (EW), and radar transmitters where space, cooling, and power are limited.
The bias tees accommodate male and female W1 RF connectors and an SMC male DC connector, and offer compact, durable aluminum encasements.
These high-bandwidth oscilloscopes are for next-generation serial data technologies such as PCI Express 6.0 and USB4 Specification v2.0.
