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

GRIT image 01

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…...

Passive and active multistatic radars capable of detecting stealth fighters and guiding missiles to destroy them

56dab2b3675237b0ba79395c67ee9ae4

Stealth technology has proven to be one of the effective approaches to enhance the survivability of Aircrafts. Aircraft/helicopter designers are making them stealthier by reducing their signatures; viz. visual, aural, infrared (IR), and RADAR cross section. Advancements in stealth technologies,…...
