Millimeter or AEHF Satellites technology

Substantially more spectrum bandwidth is available at the Ka band than at the Ku band and other lower frequencies. For example, Ku band allocation is around 2GHz for uplink and 1.3GHz for downlink with actual contiguous bandwidth allocation of less than 0.5GHz per satellite. In comparison, the Ka band SATCOM …

Accurate, realtime Geospatial intelligence (GEOINT) critical for Military and Security operations, experiencing many new technology trends

Geoint is imagery and information that relates human activity to geography. It typically is collected from satellites and aircraft and can illuminate patterns not easily detectable by other means. GEOINT (GEOspatial INTelligence) is the foundation of intelligence, it is the process with which skilled analysts evaluate and correlate information, either …

Enterprise architecture

The term enterprise can be defined as describing an organizational unit, organization, or collection of organizations that share a set of common goals and collaborate to provide specific products or services to customers. In that sense, the term enterprise covers various types of organizations, regardless of their size, ownership model, operational …

Militaries racing to develop hypersonic cruise missiles after deploying Boost-glide vehicles

Hypersonic weapons typically travel at Mach 5 to Mach 10 — or speeds of 3,840 to 7,680 miles per hour. A missile traveling at Mach 5 could hit a target 100 miles away in about 1 minute and 34 seconds. A missile moving at Mach 10, meanwhile, could hit a target …

Emerging ultrashort pulse laser (USPL) or Femtosecond laser directed energy weapons (DEW)

The Laser Directed Energy Weapons (DEWs) offer a transformational ‘game changer’ to counter asymmetric and disruptive threats, while facing increasingly sophisticated traditional challenges. Laser technology provides major advantages for military applications over kinetic weapons due to High precision and rapid on-target effect, precise and scalable effects, avoidance of collateral damage …

North Korea perfecting ICBM capable to deliver a nuclear weapon anywhere in the United States, driving US to enhance its Ground-Based Midcourse Missile Defense (GMD)

Throughout 2017, North Korea tested several missiles demonstrating the rapid advances in its military technology. The Hwasong-12 was thought to be able to reach as far as 4,500km (2,800 miles), putting US military bases on the Pacific island of Guam well within striking distance. Later, the Hwasong-14 demonstrated even …

Satellite Remote Sensing

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. Some examples of remote sensing are special cameras on satellites and airplanes taking …

High gain Antennas including Membrane reflectarray antennas on Small Satellites / Cubesats enable High resolution SmallSat SAR/SIGINT and high capacity communications missions

The small satellite is one of the fast growing sectors in space industries. Small satellites usually refer to satellites below 500 kg, including minisatellite (100–500 kg), microsatellite (10–100 kg), nanosatellite (1–10 kg), picosatellite (0.1–1 kg), and femtosatellite (<0.1 kg). Cube Satellites, aka CubeSats, are a class of nano satellites …

The Synthetic biology infrastructure will drive development of cloud based synthetic biology “apps”, and biology-as-a-service

Synthetic biology is the application of science, technology and engineering to facilitate and accelerate the design, manufacture and/or modification of genetic materials in living organisms, as defined by the European Commission. It envisions the redesign of natural biological systems for greater efficiency, as well as create new organisms as well as …
