science in real-world applications, are poised
to have a huge impact on national security.
Extending Field of View in Advanced
Imaging Systems E
The military relies on advanced imaging sys-
tems for a number of critical capabilities and
applications from intelligence, surveillance,
and reconnaissance (ISR) and situational
awareness to weapon sights. These powerful
systems enable defense users to capture and
analyze visual data, providing key insights
both on and off the battlefield.
AGI and ANSYS Collaboration Streamlines
Hypersonic Weapon Design E
To engineer the U.S. military's next-generation
missile defense system, Analytical Graphics Inc.
(AGI) and ANSYS are incorporating high-fideli-
ty, multiphysics simulations with multi-domain
mission-level modeling into early stages of mis-
sile defense system development—effectively
enabling warfighters to combat high-speed,
highly maneuverable hypersonic weapons.
Alta Devices Scaling up Solar Production
to Disrupt Economics of Small Satellite
Manufacturing E
Alta Devices is scaling up solar production to
meet the growing demand for low-earth orbit-
ing (LEO) small satellites (SmallSats), which
will all rely on the sun for power.
NASA Asks American Companies to Deliver
Supplies for Artemis Moon Missions E
In another major step toward landing Ameri-
can astronauts on the lunar surface by 2024,
NASA is asking industry to respond to a Re-
quest for Proposals to deliver cargo, science
experiments, and supplies to the Gateway.
BAE Systems to Enhance F-35 Electronic
Warfare Capabilities E
BAE Systems has received a Block 4 Modern-
ization contract award from Lockheed Martin
to enhance the offensive and defensive elec-
tronic warfare (EW) capabilities of the F-35
Lightning II fifth-generation fighter aircraft.
Missile Defense Agency's Long-range
Discrimination Radar Reaches Major
Milestones E
The radar system will serve as a critical sensor
within MDA's layered defense strategy to protect
the U.S. homeland from ballistic missile attacks.
Artificial Intelligence and Space
Exploration E
From utilizing machine learning to advanc-
ing space exploration, optics technology leads
the chart toward our scientific and outer-space
frontiers.
Digicom Electronics Introduces
Power Converter for On-site Aircraft
Maintenance E
Digicom Electronics Inc. has launched a new
portable, lightweight, 400-Hz power converter.
