US DOD developing anti-jam technologies for WGS Satellites to counter advanced Russian Electronic Warfare

antijam

Military has become highly dependent on satellites for high data rate beyond line of sight communications as well as network centric operations. Satellite communications are also required to support military operations that are becoming more complex as conflict areas grow…...

Photonic ADCs have removed the bottlenecks of bandwidth limitations and timing jitter of electronic analog-to-digital converter (ADC)

photonic ADC

The performance of digital receivers used in modern military radar, communication, and surveillance systems is often limited by the performance of the analog-to-digital converter (ADC) used to digitize the received signal. Ultrafast ADCs are critical in military applications such as…...

Militaries race to develop Quantum radar that would render Stealth Aircraft Obsolete, monitor Ballistic missiles to low altitude satellites

quantum radar

The utility of Modern high frequency Radars have become degraded due to  innovation in stealth that resulted include unusual shapes that deflect radar waves—like the US B-2 bomber’s “flying wing” design (above)—as well as carbon-based materials and novel paints.  China…...

Structural electronics to disrupt the automotive and aerospace sectors by replacing dumb components with smart materials, smart skin, load-bearing parts, and e-textiles

structuralelectronics

The term, structural electronics (SE), refers to a next-generation based electronics technology, which involves the printing of functional electronic circuitries, across irregular-shaped architectures. SE is expected to replace bulky load-bearing structures within a circuitry with smart electronic components that can…...

Propulsion motors are enabling stealthy warships and submarines  propelled with an electric propulsion system

permpropmotor

Navies of various countries have announced making their warships and submarines  propelled with an electric propulsion system. Instead of driving the ship’s propellers directly, diesel engines turn electric generators, which in turn power electric motors that drive the propellers. This arrangement…...
