DARPA’s DREaM developing new RF/mm-wave transistors to enable future Military 5G communications, surveillance, signal intelligence (SIGINT), electronic warfare (EW), and electronic countermeasures (ECM)

March 6, 2021 Electronics & EW, Manufacturing, Material Comments Off on DARPA’s DREaM developing new RF/mm-wave transistors to enable future Military 5G communications, surveillance, signal intelligence (SIGINT), electronic warfare (EW), and electronic countermeasures (ECM)

DARPA has long recognized the critical role transistors play in Department of Defense (DoD) systems – especially radio frequency (RF) systems ranging from radar and communications to signals intelligence and electronic warfare. In the 1990s, the DARPA MIMIC program advanced Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) transistor technology that enabled the radar and …

Laser stabalization and tracking technologies for moving platform mounted Directed Energy Weapons (DEWs)

March 6, 2021 Manufacturing, Photonics Comments Off on Laser stabalization and tracking technologies for moving platform mounted Directed Energy Weapons (DEWs)

The drones have emerged as a major new threat to civilian infrastructure and military. Counter-drone technology, also known as counter-UAS, C-UAS, or counter-UAV technology, refers to systems that are used to detect and/or intercept unmanned aircraft. One of the attractive Anti-drone weapons have been directed energy weapons (DEWs) both of …

DSO’s Make-It program on Synthetic chemistry enables end-to-end automated production of pharmaceuticals and other chemicals

February 18, 2021 Manufacturing, Material Comments Off on DSO’s Make-It program on Synthetic chemistry enables end-to-end automated production of pharmaceuticals and other chemicals

Chemists who are trained in synthesis use their skills to create new forms of matter. They synthesize compounds not just because they are new: the design and preparation of these new compounds leads to numerous applications in pharmaceuticals, materials, detection, energy utilization and storage, and insights into biological systems. Synthesis …

DARPA RIDE to employ Automation and artificial intelligence to discover new Energetic materials and munitions are used across DoD

February 17, 2021 Manufacturing, Material, Weapons Comments Off on DARPA RIDE to employ Automation and artificial intelligence to discover new Energetic materials and munitions are used across DoD

Energetic materials and munitions are used across DoD in mission critical applications such as rockets, missiles, ammunition, and pyrotechnic devices. In these applications, energetic materials and munitions must perform as designed to ensure success in both training and combat operations. Every time a gun fires, lead leaches into the air. …

DARPA GRIT program developing compact, tunable Gamma ray source for advanced accelerator technology, high-energy laser systems, and new x-ray and gamma ray detectors

February 13, 2021 Electronics & EW, Manufacturing, Security Comments Off on DARPA GRIT program developing compact, tunable Gamma ray source for advanced accelerator technology, high-energy laser systems, and new x-ray and gamma ray detectors

Gamma rays are ionizing electromagnetic radiation, obtained by the decay of an atomic nucleus. Gamma rays are given off by stars, and by some radioactive substances. Gamma-rays travel to us across vast distances of the universe, only to be absorbed by the Earth’s atmosphere. Different wavelengths of light penetrate the Earth’s …

Countries developing Asteroid mining technologies

February 8, 2021 Manufacturing, Material, Space Comments Off on Countries developing Asteroid mining technologies

Early evidence suggests that there are trillions of dollars’ worth of minerals and metals buried in asteroids that come close to the Earth. These include phosphorus, antimony, zinc, tin, lead, indium, silver, gold and copper. The mining of resources contained in asteroids, for use as propellant, building materials or in …

Miniaturized RF passive components like filters, inductors and capacitors required for future 5G and IoT requirements

February 4, 2021 Electronics & EW, Manufacturing Comments Off on Miniaturized RF passive components like filters, inductors and capacitors required for future 5G and IoT requirements

The RF design consists of passive as well as active components. The inductors, capacitors, and resistors are one of the three passive elements that are the foundations of all electronics. The discrete and passive components are an integral part of the design; from front-end antenna matching to tight-tolerance mixers, oscillators, …

New Smart Materials and technologies promise shape morfing devices from morphing Wings to robot swarms

December 27, 2020 AI & IT, Manufacturing, Material Comments Off on New Smart Materials and technologies promise shape morfing devices from morphing Wings to robot swarms

Military have large demand for smart materials and devices including smart self-repair, smart clothing such as cloaking suits, and adaptive hull structures for ships. Morphing aircraft are multi-role aircraft that change their external shape substantially to adapt to a changing mission environment during flight. This creates superior system capabilities not …
