Military & Aerospace Electronics June 2005	General Dynamics Picks Performance Technologies for Networking General Dynamics is using Performance Technologies' X.25 Protocol Software and integrated PCI334A WAN Communications Adapter for its Common Hardware/Software III (CHS-3) contract.
Military & Aerospace Electronics June 2005	WalkAbout Picks Modem for Air Force Laptop Innovative Concepts' PCIDM is a portable data communications solution that consists of one Type 2 Extended PCMCIA card, paired with a full software development kit.
Military & Aerospace Electronics June 2005	NASA Project Uses Data Recorder From BiTMICRO Penn State designers used the E-Disk flash drive on their Cosmic Rays Energetics And Mass (CREAM) project, a high-altitude balloon experiment that investigated the composition of ultra high-energy cosmic rays with NASA's Long Duration Balloon (LDB) vehicle technology.
Military & Aerospace Electronics June 2005	Acme Picks Quantum3D for Refueling Simulator Acme used two Independence IGs-as well as their GeoScapeSE databases-in Boom Operator Trainer (BOT) programs, used by airmen at Travis and McGuire Air Force Bases to practice airborne refueling.
Military & Aerospace Electronics June 2005	Rad-Hard Solid-State Relays for High-Reliability Systems International Rectifier is offering four radiation-hardened solid-state relays for high-reliability (hi-rel) applications. The new hermetically sealed relays are all-electronic devices designed to replace electro-mechanical relays in power bus switching, heater-control circuits, battery charging, and other hi-rel applications.
Military & Aerospace Electronics June 2005 Roger Joel	Unmanned Vehicles: Autonomous and on-Target Perhaps the single biggest challenge-both to truly autonomous unmanned vehicle designers and to the widespread military deployment of unmanned vehicles-is obstacle recognition and avoidance.
Military & Aerospace Electronics June 2005 Ben Ames	Smaller Sensors Make Unmanned Vehicles Smarter Army researchers are now developing another part of FCS-an armed robotic vehicle (ARV) that uses autonomous sensors and weapons to minimize soldiers' battlefield exposure.
Military & Aerospace Electronics June 2005 Ben Ames	Sailors Map the Battlespace with Unmanned Underwater Vehicles Useful for oceanography and oil surveying as well as military exercises, the vehicles range from diameters of 21 inches down to 12 and nine inches. In the future, sailors and scientists will collect data even faster and cheaper by operating several AUVs from a single vessel.
Military & Aerospace Electronics June 2005	GoldenEye UAV Makes First Autonomous Transition Flights GoldenEye-50, which Aurora announced in 2003 and first flew in July 2004, exhibits helicopter-like hover and vertical takeoff and landing performance as well as fuel-efficient, wing-borne flight similar to a conventional airplane.
Military & Aerospace Electronics June 2005	Sensors: Electro-Pneumatic Servo Valve K.I.M. Aerotech in Camarillo, Calif., is introducing the Model 81145 servo valve that has no leakage losses at a low absolute pressure due to internal bleeds.
