Simulation is no longer just for the laboratory
Networking and artificial intelligence work together to blur the lines between military training in the real world and simulated training at the computer, as new technologies help make practicing military skills more realistic and cost-effective than ever before.
Rugged computers become everyday battlefield equipment
Designers build customized rugged computers to match every job, and are carefully balancing the needs for toughness and reliability with the imperative to get the most for the user's money.
Board-industry consolidation: haven't we seen this before?
Curtiss-Wright's pending acquisition of board maker Dy 4 Systems solidifies a major defense electronics industry trend that many of us have seen before, and most likely will see again before we're all finished.
Radiation threatens avionics as chip geometries shrink
As they strive to fit more circuits onto each processor, chip makers shrink the die size in their fabrication plants.
Curtiss-Wright consolidates further by acquiring Dy 4 Systems
The makeup of the military single-board computer market changed dramatically last month when two of its major players agreed to come under the same roof.
Virginia-class submarines usher in a new era in undersea electronics
The new generation of U.S. Navy submarines represents a significant advance in technology and an equally significant change in mission and capability.
Analysts: electronics are central to 21st century warfare tactics
U.S. military leaders know how to win a war with the Soviet Union — they have refined their plans for decades.

Welcome to moonbase
There's a book I'd like to recommend for the top of President Bush's reading list: Welcome to Moonbase, by Ben Bova and published in 1987 by Ballantine Books.
Advanced digital post-processing techniques enhance A-D performance
Digital signal processing (DSP) techniques can offer a platform for advances in high-speed analog-to-digital (A-D) converter performance.

FIS uses optical technology to secure military facilities
The days when a chain-link, razor-wire or even electric fence - regardless of height - would deter intruders is long past. Yet the perimeter fence remains an important factor in the security of military facilities.
Military applications help pull optical-fiber company up from the doldrums
The disastrous telecommunications industry downturn has left many optical-fiber companies reeling and grasping for ways to keep their businesses afloat.
The 24/7 resource for the defense community
In 21st century military programs, the huge up-front nonrecurring developmental budget has long been extinct. Also extinct, however, is the expectation of paying higher prices in the future to upgrade systems technologies.
Specialty fiber guides gyroscopes out of the FOG
The development of specialty optical fibers for gyroscopes has been an evolutionary process, spanning the last 20 years. Fibercore Ltd., a manufacturer of specialty optical fiber in Southampton, England, commercialized bow-tie polarization-maintaining (PM) fiber in 1983 and since then has used specialty fibers to help gyro manufacturers reduce overall package size and achieve greater reliability, lower cost, and greater accuracy.
