Designing Drones: Why And how?
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), often known as ‘drones’ or ‘quadcopters’, are one of those areas of technology that have been hitting the mainstream media in recent weeks and months. Concerned by...
Directed Energy Weapons: Less-Lethal Laser Weapons
Under directed energy weapons, so far we have covered particle beam weapons and high-power microwaves. Let us now take a look at some less-lethal laser weapons.
Directed energy laser systems are generally...
X7R Base Metal Electrode (BME) MLCCs Approved to the Defense Logistics Agency’s (DLA’s) MIL-PRF-32535...
The series delivers 39x increase in capacitance compared to 100V, 1812 MIL-PRF-123 & -55681 MLCCs — enabling revolutionary board space, weight, & component count reductions that directly translate into lower launch...
Part 1 of 4: Defence Lasers and Optronic Systems: Role of Electronics
There has been a dramatic increase in the commercial, industrial, medical, defence and research applications of lasers in the last 10 to 15 years. During this period, we have not only...
“Space applications need a working lifetime of 15 years, and absolutely no mortality is...
Space and avionics applications need a high level of reliability as they face extreme conditions in space. In order to develop components qualified for this application, engineers need to design high...
American Carrier Strike Groups: An Electronic Perspective (Part 4 of 5)
In the previous parts of this article, we discussed air defence warfare, electronic warfare, under-sea warfare, surface warfare and strike warfare. Let us take a look at air operations in this...
Drones: Show Me The Money
UAVs are expected to be available for mass consumption by the end of the next decade
While globally, drones are used for aerial mapping extensively, India is still at a...
GaN Solutions for Next Generation Military Communications
Advanced waveforms and signal processing increase the channel efficiency, improve jam resistance, allow networking, interoperability, and other tailoring to specific operational scenarios. But in all cases, the radio must confront the...
Directed Energy Weapons: High-Energy Laser Weapons
Development of high-energy lasers with military potential is leading to the production of beam weapons that transfer coherent light energy to the intended target to cause structural damage. In the coming...
Do’s and Don’ts Regarding Operation Of Drones
Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS)/Remotely Piloted Aircraft System (RPAS), commonly known as drone/UAV, is a new addition to the aviation sector. This technology has a promising effect on the economic growth of...
