US Army Project Linchpin developing integrated AI based intelligence, cyber and electronic warfare capability

July 4, 2023 Electronics & EW Comments Off on US Army Project Linchpin developing integrated AI based intelligence, cyber and electronic warfare capability

While the need for convergence of cyberspace operations and electronic warfare is recognized within the Department of Defense (DoD), differences between how these two capabilities are trained, resourced, organized and employed combined with the significant functional level differences between the two have hindered efforts to converge their capabilities. “The …

DARPA QuICC developing hybrid Quantum computer to solve optimization problems for Defense applications

July 3, 2023 AI & IT, Quantum Comments Off on DARPA QuICC developing hybrid Quantum computer to solve optimization problems for Defense applications

Department of Defense (DOD) must solve many complex optimization problems to enable mission capabilities – from determining the most efficient way to distribute supplies to minimizing warfighters’ exposure to hostile forces. Solving these intricate scenarios is difficult, largely owing to the limitations of existing computing resources. Today, many optimization problems …

Material platforms for Photonic integrated circuits (PIC) enable LiDAR, quantum and neuromorphic computing

July 2, 2023 Manufacturing, Material, Photonics Comments Off on Material platforms for Photonic integrated circuits (PIC) enable LiDAR, quantum and neuromorphic computing

A photonic integrated circuit (PIC) or integrated optical circuit is a device that integrates multiple (at least two) photonic functions and as such is similar to an electronic integrated circuit. The major difference between the two is that a photonic integrated circuit provides functions for information signals imposed on optical …

Defense Acquisition moving towards “as-a-service” model

June 30, 2023 AI & IT, Defense & Military, Industry & Market Dynamics Comments Off on Defense Acquisition moving towards “as-a-service” model

The rising cost of new weapons systems has long been a concern for the Department of Defense (DoD). And, as DoD seeks to transform itself for the 21st century, it can anticipate an extended period of downward budgetary pressure. Moreover, growing costs will require difficult choices for DoD just to …

Single photon detector (SPD) critical technology for quantum computers and communications, and submarine detection

Optical Amplifiers

June 26, 2023 Comm. & Networking, Photonics Comments Off on Optical Amplifiers

The transmission loss of the light passing through the optical fiber is a very small value of less than 0.2 dB per km with a light wavelength in the 1,550 nm band. Therefore clearest optical fibers can transmit signals more than 100 kilometers without amplification-much farther than copper wires. When …
