Teledyne e2v's CMOS Image Sensors Show Ruggedness for Space

1 week ago | mwrf.com | Jack Browne

To serve growing demands for imaging of the Earth from space, Teledyne Technologies Inc. and its Teledyne Space Imaging business launched a trio of upscreened-variant (USV) CMOS imaging sensors well-suited for long operating lifetimes while observing the planet (see image above). Capable of resolution from 1.3 to 67.0 Mpixels, the sensors are good fits for such applications as monitoring, situational awareness, and payload checking.
Experiments Explore LEOS for 5G mmWaves

1 week ago | mwrf.com | Jack Browne

Constellation Technologies & Operations (CTO) has signed a memorandum of intent with the European Space Agency (ESA) to conduct joint experiments in low Earth orbit (LEO). Testing will include evaluation of millimeter-wave (mmWave) communications for 5G wireless networks onboard a LEO satellite (LEOS) scheduled for launch in June 2025. The agreement is meant to strengthen Europe’s position in satellite-based 5G wireless connectivity.
MEMS IMU Helps Navigate Tactical UAVs

As uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs) play increasingly important roles in tactical assignments, their tactical guidance and navigation grows in importance. Fortunately, the performance and reliability of microelectromechanical-systems (MEMS) inertial-measurement-unit (IMU) devices is also on the rise.
Aerostat-Based System Provides Persistent Aerial ISR

3 weeks ago | mwrf.com | Jack Browne

A joint effort by Creomagic Ltd. and RT LTA Systems Ltd. has resulted in a versatile integrated system for persistent aerial intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) missions. The SkyCnet system (see image above) combines RT’s aerostat surveillance capabilities with Creomagic's skills for secure tactical communications. The system was recently unveiled in early May at the 2025 DEFEA Exposition in Athens, Greece.

To strengthen at-the-edge communications in the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command (INDOPACOM), the U.S. Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) has awarded networking innovator Somewear Labs a contract to enhance links between operators and unmanned assets.
Aerostat Systems Help Boost Border Security

1 month ago | mwrf.com | Jack Browne

Guarding against illegal border crossings can be difficult across long distances and rugged terrain. But RT LTA Systems Ltd. has developed innovative aerostat technology for deploying systems needed in the detection of border crossings via all-terrain vehicles (ATVs). With the aid of ATVs, the aerostat systems can deploy intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance (ISR), and communications systems capable of broad 360° detection coverage.
Mobilicom and Aitech Team for UAS Data Security

Collaboration between Mobilicom Ltd. and Aitech Systems promises to greatly enhance the cybersecurity needs of computing systems on board uncrewed aircraft systems (UASs). For drones and UAS robotic systems operating in mission-critical environments, the teamwork is expected to provide secure software tools with characteristics of Mobilicom’s operational security, safety, and standards compliance (OS3) cybersecurity software and Aitech Systems’s computing solutions.
Artificial Intelligence, Energy, and Semiconductors are Key Focii

Mar 7, 2025 | mwrf.com | Jack Browne

Emerson Electric entered into a new partnership with the University of Texas at Austin for research on artificial intelligence (AI), energy, semiconductors, and several other key technology areas. The three-year plan will help make UT a core research partner for Emerson and drive the advancement of capabilities within UT, such as those for the Texas Institute of Electronics (TIE).
Cryogenic LNAs Help Antennas Scan Deep Space

Mar 7, 2025 | mwrf.com | Jack Browne

Celestia Callisto is using its cryogenic low-noise amplifiers (LNAs) to reach further into deep space. The cryogenically cooled LNAs, as contracted by OHB Digital Connect, are supporting OHB’s efforts to upgrade the Sardinia Deep Space Antenna (SDSA) and enable it to detect and capture extremely low-level signals from deep space.
