Integrated circuits and power devices utilized by the semiconductor industry for the production of advanced computers, consumer electronics, communication networks, and industrial and military systems have been almost exclusively based on silicon technology. The requirements of future electronics place a…
Over the past century, exploitation of the air domain’s speed, vantage, maneuverability, flexibility, and range changed the nature of warfare. Militarily, operating in the air domain provides hypersonic speeds, vantage: the ability to see not only over the next hill but…
The global population grows from 7 billion in 2010 to a projected 9.8 billion in 2050, and incomes grow across the developing world, overall food demand is on course to increase by more than 50 percent, and demand for animal-based…
Between electronics and photonics there exists a frequency gap of approximately two octaves, i.e., the frequency range between 100 GHz and 10 THz, across which there are limited capabilities for signal generation, control, guidance, and processing. Researchers have demonstrated e…
An outbreak of violence in the ongoing Israeli–Palestinian conflict commenced on 10 May 2021, though disturbances took place earlier, and continued until a ceasefire came into effect on 21 May. It was marked by protests and rioting, police riot control,…
The U.S. Aerospace & Defense (A&D) industry is the world leader in the design, development and manufacture of technologically advanced aircraft, space systems and defense capabilities. Since the Wright Brothers’ first powered flight in 1903, the aerospace industry has grown…
Innovations in CMOS image sensor (CIS) technology continue to enhance digital imaging landscape. While the demand has been driven by smartphone makers, leveraging enhanced photo-taking capabilities to differentiate their devices from the competition, there is also a growing market for…
Mobile robots used by the military and law enforcement agencies require a robust communications link for successful mission executions. Such mobile robots are increasingly used in life-threatening situations and hazardous environments, rendering a solid communications link to be of vital…
The jet engine is the most complex element of an aircraft and one of the most complex human-made products ever developed, housing thousands of individual components — and ultimately determining fuel efficiency for aircraft All turbines operate on similar…
Satellite communication is a technology that is used to transfer the signals from the transmitter to a receiver with the help of satellites. Communications via satellite have the unique characteristic of the ability to cover the globe with a flexibility…
