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…...

Heterogeneous Integration Technology enhance capability of military RADAR, communications, imaging and sensing systems, DARPA’s DAHI, and CHIPS led its development

DARPA CHIPS 1

Modern warfare is increasingly dependent on microelectronics capabilities that sense the environment, convert the signals into data streams, process the information, and generate a response. In this sense, Aerospace and Defense (A-D)  systems are quite similar to commercial systems that…...

Risind threat of rising Mass shooting incidents, Security Forces deploying technologies AI based Gunfire detection systems, and imaging radars

gunfiredetection

Assaults by firearm kill about 11,000 people in the US each year, which translates to a roughly 1-in-370 lifetime chance of death from gun violence. That’s almost 50% more likely than the lifetime odds of dying while riding inside a…...

Countries develop Sonic Weapons, the silent weapons used in counter-terrorist and crowd control settings

sonic

Sonic weapons employ extremely high-power sound waves  to disrupt or destroy the eardrums of a target and cause severe pain or disorientation. This is usually sufficient to incapacitate a person. Less powerful sound waves can cause humans to experience nausea…...
