Military & Aerospace Electronics October 2005 John Keller	DARPA Scientists Seek Next Generation of Wireless Data Networking DARPA wants to take research to the next level by developing a revolutionary mobile ad-hoc network prototype that improves effective performance by an order of magnitude or more relative to the current state of the art.
Military & Aerospace Electronics October 2005 John McHale	Raytheon Uses Xilinx FPGA for MicroLight Radios on Land Warrior Program The first spiral of Land Warrior capability will include 26 MicroLight radios, 26 VoIP smart controllers, and situational awareness software for testing prior to early fielding to platoon and squad leaders in an experimental company-size military unit.
Military & Aerospace Electronics October 2005 John McHale	European Airborne Radar Market Grows to $5.44 Billion by 2014 Force modernization and stock replacement programs will promote strong and sustainable growth across the European airborne-intelligence, surveillance, target-acquisition, and reconnaissance (ISTAR) radar market.
Military & Aerospace Electronics October 2005 John Keller	Lead-Free Solder: A Train Wreck in the Making Companies are walking away from leaded solders because they see their economic futures elsewhere, driven primarily by the European program to limit the use of lead. Where this trend places the military, at least in the short term, is in a lot of trouble.
Military & Aerospace Electronics October 2005 Ben Ames	Digital receivers power a new generation of electronic warfare Military technology designers have shifted from analog to digital radar receivers to deal with decentralized threats. The change is a major improvement for size, weight, and power.
Military & Aerospace Electronics October 2005 John McHale	Chasing the goal of an efficient battlefield laser U.S. DoD researchers aim to develop small lasers for use in tactical air missions. The engineering challenge has been taken up by contractors including Northrop Grumman and Lockheed Martin.
Military & Aerospace Electronics October 2005 John Keller	KVH Fiber-Optic Gyros Help Guide Remotely Operated Vehicles Through the Seas With their all-fiber design and patented digital signal processing (DSP) technology, KVH's FOGs offer reliability, accuracy, and resistance to vibration, shock, and acceleration.
Military & Aerospace Electronics October 2005 John Keller	NASA Taps Space Power Electronics for Optoelectronic Space Components Space Power Electronics will provide power converter assembly electronic boards and laser electronic assembly electronic boards for the Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter (LOLA) measurement investigation that will be aboard the LRO.
Military & Aerospace Electronics October 2005 Steffen Koehler	Advances in hybrid optical packaging enable high-bandwidth photonic RF transmission The challenge in exploiting optical fiber for RF transmission lies in getting the RF signals on and off the fiber without degrading the signals. Advances in optical packaging technology are making improvements to military equipment possible.
Military & Aerospace Electronics October 2005 Dan Gardner	Programmable logic: Understanding the risks in military and aerospace applications With embedded digital signal processing (DSP), random-access memory (RAM) blocks, and microprocessor cores now easily available for use in high-end devices, it is clear that programmable logic will play a bigger role in the mil/aero arena.
