Electronics & EW

The U.S. Army’s Multi-Function Electronic Warfare Air Large (MFEW) system is poised to redefine the battlefield by integrating advanced electronic warfare (EW) capabilities into combat aviation brigades. Developed by Lockheed Martin, the MFEW system is a pod-mounted technology designed for deployment on the MQ-1C Gray Eagle drone. Its platform-agnostic design …

In the world of satellite communications, gateways serve as the critical interface between space and Earth, enabling data transfer, command uplinks, and telemetry downlinks. These facilities rely on large antenna systems, often towering dishes with precision engineering, to ensure seamless connectivity with satellites orbiting thousands of kilometers above the Earth. …

As the demand for satellite communication grows across industries such as Earth observation, IoT, and global connectivity, the need for efficient and cost-effective ground station operations has never been greater. Ground station virtualization (GSV) is emerging as a transformative approach, redefining how satellite operators interact with and manage ground infrastructure. …

Introduction Wireless communication is the backbone of modern connectivity, powering everything from smartphones to satellites. As the demand for versatile and efficient communication systems grows, traditional hardware-based radio systems face limitations in flexibility, scalability, and adaptability. Software Defined Radio (SDR) technology has emerged as a revolutionary approach, transforming how radio …

The rise of hybrid-satellite cellular terminals marks a significant evolution in how we approach global connectivity. As the world becomes more interconnected, the demand for seamless communication networks—especially in remote, underserved, or disaster-prone regions—has never been higher. Hybrid-satellite cellular terminals, which combine terrestrial and satellite technologies, offer an innovative solution …

Software-defined satellites (SDS) represent a transformative leap in the space industry, moving away from the traditionally rigid hardware-centric systems toward a flexible, software-driven approach. These satellites are redefining the operational paradigms of satellite communication, earth observation, and space exploration, enabling on-the-fly reconfiguration, enhanced longevity, and improved adaptability to evolving mission …

Sonic weapons, also known as sound-based weapons, are technologies designed to use sound waves as a means of incapacitating or disabling targets. Unlike traditional weapons, which rely on physical projectiles or explosives, sonic weapons harness the power of sound to create discomfort, disorientation, and potential physical harm. These devices are …

The “New Space” era has brought a seismic shift in the satellite industry, marked by the advent of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite constellations designed to deliver global connectivity, real-time data, and revolutionary services. These constellations, comprising hundreds to thousands of small satellites orbiting between 300 to 3,000 kilometers above …

Photonics, the science of harnessing light for technology, has emerged as a transformative force across multiple industries. From enabling high-speed data transmission to powering advanced sensors and displays, photonics is revolutionizing the way devices are designed and operated. However, as with any cutting-edge technology, there are numerous challenges when integrating …
