Think you have an ITAR issue? Protect yourself, experts say
Component suppliers who even suspect that their products might be designed into military systems need to take steps to protect themselves from potential violations of International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). If they don't, they risk serious trouble. Read The Mil & Aero Blog online at www.pennwellblogs.com/mae.
Military radio communications designers need to build a better mouse trap
SAN DIEGO -- Military radio designers need to give more thought to how they blend RF and microwave components with digital circuitry in new generations of software-defined radio, says one of the Pentagon's top communications executives. Read The Mil & Aero Blog online at www.pennwellblogs.com/mae.
Now it's not just talk: VPX embedded computing starts racking up design wins
For more than a year now we've been hearing about the latest flavor of VME embedded computing. Just today, Curtiss-Wright Embedded Computing in Leesburg, Va., announced that it is providing VPX-based radar signal processing for the U.S. Marine Corps Ground/Air Task Oriented Radar (G/ATOR) program.

Chinese company doesn't operate the Panama Canal ... just both ends of it
I must correct a mistake I made in a blog entry earlier this week entitled Back to the jungle: would U.S. intervene if war comes to South America? In this blog I stated that Panama Canal operations are managed by a company with close ties to the Chinese government. Regretfully this is an error.

Java, anyone?
"What is the deal with COTS components in mil-aero embedded software?" Sorry to wax nostalgic there, with my spot-on impression of Jerry Seinfeld... My likely feeble attempt at humor aside, I do have a valid question or two about the use of open source code and software components in military and aerospace applications.
Find me a safe harbor from 'forward-looking statements' ... please!
I'm routinely getting news announcements these days in which more than half the text consists of the so-called "safe harbor statements" and "forward-looking statements." I just got one yesterday that was 335 words long. Often my entire news stories contain fewer words than that. Read The Mil & Aero Blog online at www.pennwellblogs.com/mae.
Back to the jungle: would U.S. intervene if war comes to South America?
Here's a potential new spin on Hillary Clinton and her red-phone television commercials. If there's a global emergency in the offing, it might not be in Central Asia, where everyone expects it to be. It could be right here in our own hemisphere. War might be coming to South America. Read The Mil & Aero Blog online at www.pennwellblogs.com/mae.
Sorry, Boeing; European airframe to be new Air Force refueling tanker
This has to be a bitter pill for Boeing to swallow. Boeing HATES Airbus the way Hillary Clinton hates Barack Obama, only worse, and Boeing's hate has been finely aged over decades. Read The Mil & Aero Blog online at www.pennwellblogs.com/mae.
Destroyer diplomacy: USS Cole brings symbolic punch to tense Middle East
Think of the USS Cole's symbolic value in the Middle East. Unlike many other vessels, this one has already been bloodied in battle. If things get dicey while the Cole is on patrol off Lebanon, moreover, do you suppose that ship's crew might be in the mood for a little payback?

Autonomous arms race: gentlemen, start your robots
I admit that it can be fun to see creepy robots at the movies, but I think it's important to acknowledge a clear difference between monster movie robots and today's generation of unmanned vehicles. Read The Mil & Aero Blog online at www.pennwellblogs.com/mae.
