Through the wall imaging (TTWS) or Wall-penetrating radar technologies assist security forces in counterterrorism and diaster management operations

December 14, 2022 Electronics & EW, Security & Threat Management Comments Off on Through the wall imaging (TTWS) or Wall-penetrating radar technologies assist security forces in counterterrorism and diaster management operations

Urban Warfare Operations are complicated by a three-dimensional environment, limited fields of view because of buildings, enhanced concealment and cover for defenders, and the ease of placement of booby traps and snipers. Unknown individuals hidden from view can slow emergency efforts and can increase the inherent dangers of tactical operations. …

Satellite Electrical Ground Support Equipment (EGSE)

December 8, 2022 Electronics & EW, Space Technology, Defense & Exploration Comments Off on Satellite Electrical Ground Support Equipment (EGSE)

There is growing utilization of miniaturized satellites for military and defense applications. Defense organizations have been launching communication nanosatellites and microsatellites to provide communication signals to soldiers stationed in remote locations or in dense forests. The military needs more data bandwidth and reliable communications infrastructure for its UAVs, which can …

Raytheon’s AN/SPY-6(V) is and integrated air and missile defense naval radar that can track multiple ballistic and cruise missile targets.

December 8, 2022 Electronics & EW, Navy & Maritime Comments Off on Raytheon’s AN/SPY-6(V) is and integrated air and missile defense naval radar that can track multiple ballistic and cruise missile targets.

Navies around the world are increasingly facing formidable strategic and threat environments in terms of complexity, lethality, range, sophistication and number of threats. Many of these threats, including long-range anti-ship cruise missiles, can travel hundreds of miles to their targets, toward surface ships challenged to detect the approaching weapon with …

Satellite Harness Design, Optimization and Standards

December 7, 2022 Electronics & EW, Space Technology, Defense & Exploration Comments Off on Satellite Harness Design, Optimization and Standards

Wire harnesses are bundled assemblies of cables and connectors, that are used to transmit signals and power between components. If we could compare a satellite to the human body, the electrical harness would represent the blood vessels conveying the power and the nervous network transmitting the commands and sensor information …

MIL-STD 461 EMI/EMC standards ensure safety and mission success of Military, Aeropace and Space vehicles

December 5, 2022 Electronics & EW, Manufacturing Comments Off on MIL-STD 461 EMI/EMC standards ensure safety and mission success of Military, Aeropace and Space vehicles

Modern computers operate in a “noisy” electronic environment. They are surrounded by powerful electromagnetic interference (EMI) generated by radios, radar, microwave transmitters, other computers, and a wide assortment of electronic equipment. Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) is electromagnetic energy that disturbs, interrupts, obscures or degrades the effective performance of the electrical equipment. Electromagnetic …

US Navy’s Ship’s Signals Exploitation Equipment (SSEE)

November 23, 2022 Electronics & EW, Navy & Maritime Comments Off on US Navy’s Ship’s Signals Exploitation Equipment (SSEE)

Signals intelligence (SIGINT) is intelligence-gathering by interception of signals, whether communications between people (communications intelligence—abbreviated to COMINT) or from electronic signals not directly used in communication (electronic intelligence—abbreviated to ELINT). The abbreviation SIGINT – Signals Intelligence – stands for collecting and analyzing of information from radar- and radio-signals. Because …

PCB Design consideration for aerospace and military applications

November 12, 2022 Electronics & EW, Industry & Market Dynamics, Manufacturing, Material, Mechanical Comments Off on PCB Design consideration for aerospace and military applications

Printed circuit boards (PCBs) are the foundational building block of most modern electronic devices on which all of the other electronic components are assembled onto. A circuit card is a thin, flat piece of dielectric material that has conductive paths or traces etched on it. These conductive circuits – usually …

Microwave Networks

November 11, 2022 Electronics & EW Comments Off on Microwave Networks

Microwave networks consist of many ports. For example, in phased arrays, which are used in 5G wireless communication in base stations, we often have systems that can even have 100s or 1000s of ports, input-output ports. We need to come up with a concept to describe much more complex microwave …

Control System Design and Analysis

November 10, 2022 Electronics & EW Comments Off on Control System Design and Analysis

A system, whose output can be managed, controlled or regulated by varying its input is called Control System. If we look around, we will find many control systems in our surroundings i.e. Refrigerator, Air Conditions, Washing Machines etc. An automatic speed control system, also called cruise control, works by …

DARPA’s T-MUSIC developing revolutionary THz Mixed mode Integrated circuits and System on Chips(SOC) for Military Terahertz radar and Communications

November 8, 2022 Electronics & EW, Manufacturing Comments Off on DARPA’s T-MUSIC developing revolutionary THz Mixed mode Integrated circuits and System on Chips(SOC) for Military Terahertz radar and Communications

Integrated circuits (ICs) are generally classified as digital (e.g. a microprocessor) or analog (e.g. an operational amplifier). Mixed-signal ICs are chips that contain both digital and analog circuits on a single semiconductor die. Mixed-signal ICs also process both analog and digital signals together. For example, an analog-to-digital converter is a …
