Collaborative combat aircraft puts new technology into service faster and more cost effectively by pairing unmanned fighter aircraft equipped with the latest weapons, sensors, and battle management systems with older manned fighter aircraft. The collaborative combat aircraft (CCA) program proposed by the U.S. Air Force teams autonomous (unmanned) aircraft with manned aircraft in an effortRead More

The variety of applications within E-mobility require connections that perform at cutting-edge high-speeds, as well as endure environmentally rugged conditions to consistently support the signal between a vehicle’s battery and motor. No one knows what safety challenges may arise during travel. Flights can be interrupted by turbulence or sudden changes in weather patterns. Pedestrians, animals,Read More

Minimally invasive medical procedures have many advantages over open surgery. Medical sensors provide surgeons with necessary feedback, improving outcomes and reducing the risk to patients. Minimally invasive medical procedures have many advantages over open surgery, such as less damage to the body, less pain, fewer complications, less time in the hospital, and quicker overall recovery.Read More

MIL-STD-1553 has been incorporated in every type of air, land, and sea vehicle built by the U.S. military in the last half-century. There is something eminently satisfying about a technology that simply works. One of the more enduring standards in the mil-aerospace industry is MIL-STD-1553, which defines the mechanical, electrical, and functional characteristics of aRead More
