  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

  

  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 …

  U.S. Space Fence, Largest S-band Phased Array Radar to protect satellites from orbiting junk and space weapons, is now connected with Space Force

  

  There has been exponential growth of space objects, including orbital debris that has increased the in-orbit collision risk. NASA estimates there are 21,000 objects orbiting Earth that are larger than 10 cm, 500,000 between 1 and 10 cm, and more than 100 million that are less than 1 cm. Orbital …

  Quantum MEMS and NEMS for quantum information processing and storage, and ultrasensitive quantum sensing.

  

  Quantum technology (QT) applies quantum mechanical properties such as quantum entanglement, quantum superposition, and No-cloning theorem to quantum systems such as atoms, ions, electrons, photons, or molecules. Quantum bit is the basic unit of quantum information.  Whereas in a classical system, a bit is either in one state or the …

  DARPA “Fiddler,” developing AI/ML based SAR imagery algorithms for automatic target detection of Ships

  

  Remote sensing is the science of acquiring information about the Earth’s surface without actually being in contact with it.  This is done by sensing and recording reflected or emitted energy and processing, analyzing, and applying that information. Unlike optical satellites that capture reflected sunlight to produce detailed photos of Earth, …

  Hybrid-Electric Propulsion technologies for Commercial and Military Aircrafts

  While electric propulsion is more efficient, but it generates far less thrust, which is why electric planes tend to be slow. Airbus’ two-seat electric plane could only go a maximum speed of about 136 miles per hour. A solar-powered plane that completed an around-the-world journey this summer had an average …
