Miniaturizing electronic warfare microelectronics for next-gen military applications
Electronic warfare (EW) technologies, normally deployed in ground, naval and airborne platforms, provide a strategic and tactical advantage in the modern battlefield. At the same time, modern military forces continue to transition from conventional weapons to precision-guided weapons (PGW), with enhanced strike capabilities. In response, adversaries are turning to electronic attack technologies to disrupt the navigation and guidance systems of PGW, thereby reducing their efficacy to that of conventional weapons used in the first half of the 20th century.

Learn about SOSA, HOST & other DoD open architecture initiatives
SCOTTSDALE, Arizona. A demand for commonality is driving procurement and technology development within the Department of Defense (DoD). This webcast of industry experts will cover how various DoD open architecture initiatives such as the Sensor Open Systems Architecture (SOSA) and Hardware Open Systems Technologies (HOST) are working together to shorten fielding times, lower life cycle costs, leverage economies of scale, and promote reuse. Michael Hackert of the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) and Jerry Gipper, Executive Director of the VITA Standards Organization will lead a discussion on these challenges on Wednesday, Feb. 21, at 11 am Est. in a webcast titled "Enabling Open Architectures and Commonality in Military Systems."

Hardware full disk encryption technology for military applications using two-layer commercial solutions
While the consumer market promotes rapid adoption of new microelectronics with ever-shortening product life cycles, the military market demands risk mitigation and long-term supply continuity - even for commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) parts modified or screened to military requirements. Given the advantages of solid state drive (SSD) devices that consumers take for granted today, it is not surprising to see SSD devices adopted for military applications. In a prior publication, we defined the standards for a military grade data storage device with security designed in from the early stages of development. This new class of military storage devices, referred to as Secure SSD, is engineered with security built-in from the design phase.

Miniaturizing electronic warfare microelectronics to advance precision-guided weapon technologies
Electronic warfare (EW) technologies are normally deployed in ground, naval, and airborne platforms to maintain a strategic and tactical advantage in the modern battlefield. As the threat environment evolves, there is an increasing need to integrate sophisticated EW capability into precision-guided weapons (PGW). These platforms present the most demanding size, weight, and power (SWaP) challenges for the defense microelectronics industry today. Recent technology developments have yielded high-performance, miniaturized and ruggedized RF components and modules for these SWaP-constrained EW systems.

Autumn acquisitions touch military embedded computing, safety-critical markets
Two key acquisitions colored the fall season in the embedded world, both of which will affect military embedded computing applications. One was at the component level, the other at the board and subsystem level, as Qualcomm bought NXP, formerly Freescale, for about $47 billion and then soon after Mercury Systems picked up avionics computer supplier Creative Electronic Systems (CES) for about $38 million.
