Military & Aerospace Electronics May 2005	Optoelectronics Briefs VMETRO FPGA-based PMC card has four fiber-optic interconnect channels... General Dynamics to build submarine photonics masts... ECI receives $3 million order from Finnish Defence Forces... Tinsley opens optics facility for new space-based telescope...
Military & Aerospace Electronics May 2005 John Keller	Transforming radio communications The next frontier of wireless radio communications is widely believed to be "cognitive radio" -- RF transceivers that use artificial intelligence, neural networks, or other advanced technologies to make informed decisions based on past usage.
Military & Aerospace Electronics May 2005 John Rhea	The $10 billion NASA market NASA's budget for fiscal year 2006 envisions spending $10 billion for new competitive opportunities with industry, academia, and the agency's own field centers -- with the big-ticket item being the President's plan for returning humans to the Moon and exploring the planets.
Military & Aerospace Electronics May 2005 Ben Ames	AdvancedTCA set to make inroads in military applications The specifications of the AdvancedTCA backplane should make it popular with military board designers, and it will soon begin to penetrate military applications. One remaining hurdle, however, is ruggedization standards.
Military & Aerospace Electronics May 2005 J.R. Wilson	Transformational Communications The world of military communications is on the verge of massive and revolutionary change, driving towards a networked battlespace. Still, what matters most is the person at the "pointy end of the spear."
Military & Aerospace Electronics May 2005 Ben Ames	Nanotechnology delivers military power The Army is looking for a 21st century battlesuit, one that stops bullets, detects chemical and biological agents, monitors a wounded soldier's vital signs, administers basic first aid, and communicates with headquarters. Nanotechnology could provide the answer.
Military & Aerospace Electronics May 2005	In Brief BAE Systems protects U.S. Army and Navy helicopters... Northrop Grumman to expand Mississippi UAV facility ... Thales forms alliance partnership with Wind River... Lockheed Martin delivers first Atlas Five Booster to west coast launch site... DC-DC device market continues to grow... etc.
Military & Aerospace Electronics May 2005 Ben Ames	Designers make incremental improvements to 2-G infrared viewers Military users of infrared scopes will have to wait another five or ten years to see full production of third-generation scopes. In the meantime, today's "2.5-generation" devices offer lighter weight, smaller size, and better power efficiency than older second-generation devices.
Military & Aerospace Electronics May 2005 John McHale	Silicon-based shielding may protect military electronics from EMP Engineers at Transtector are producing electromagnetic pulse shielding devices based on silicon for U.S. Department of Defense classified applications -- one for a HUMVEE application and one for a missile command shelter.
Military & Aerospace Electronics May 2005 John McHale	Maxwell Technologies to provide rad-hard computing for polar satellite Northrop Grumman chose Maxwell's SCS750 single-board computer over others because it could meet the integrator's needs with one computer rather than several.
