The #milaero online community and the stream of Twitterness -- it's all about you
Did you know there's a Military & Aerospace Electronics online community on Twitter? Neither did I until yesterday. It's happening, organically, every day, through a nifty, yet powerful, Twitter tool called the hashtag.
Russian T-95 main battle tank: could this combat vehicle be more formidable than we thought?
I wrote about a new Russian main battle tank (MBT) more than a year ago, the T-95, in a blog headlined "New Russian battle tank: it's beginning to look a lot like the '80s." In this blog I wrote of a chilling sense I had about what felt like a return the bad old days of the Cold War between the United States and the then-Soviet Union. This T-95 tank which is supposed to enter service this year with its advanced vetronics, appears to be one of the most advanced war machines ever produced.
Can commercial software-defined radio communications replace JTRS? One reader points out why not
I wrote a story earlier this month, Air Force plan to cut its JTRS military radio program may acknowledge developments in private industry, in which I suggest that commercial developments in software defined radio (SDR) technology may be surpassing the U.S. military's Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS), and that commercial SDR might eventually render the military's JTRS developments obsolete.
Test and measurement systems designers leave rugged computers to the experts
ANAHEIM, Calif. -- There seems to be a trend in portable electronic test and measurement equipment that involves commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) rugged laptop and notebook computers. Seems the test and measurement folks want to leave the computer portions of their systems to the real experts.
Remembering the lessons of 9/11
Today is September 11, 2009. It was eight years ago this morning -- in about 25 more minutes as I write this -- that we as a nation gathered, horrified, around television sets to watch as one of the World Trade Center towers burned in New York City.
Attendees at London defense show have positive attitude
Moving through the multiple security check points and walking the floors at the Defense Systems and Equipment International Exhibition -- DSEi 2009 -- in London I found the mood of the attendees quite positive.
Kudos to Kamen, kids, and contractors
My hat is off to Dean Kamen, inventor of the Segway PT, and mil-aero industry players Rockwell Collins and General Dynamics. For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology, an organization founded to inspire young people's interest and participation in science and technology, has launched various technology challenges, designed to foster imagination, innovation, and collaboration among children and adults, community and industry, government and academia.
Business lessons from an MIT professor
Last week during a visit to SynQor in Boxborough, Mass., I received a lesson on cost-of-ownership by the company founder, who is also a former Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) professor. SynQor makes high reliability power electronics for demanding environments such as military avionics.
GE and Fanuc call it quits
As of yesterday GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms is now called GE Intelligent Platforms after GE and Fanuc reached an agreement to no longer continue their original agreement.
Unmanned systems show was buzzing
What a difference a year makes. Last year's Unmanned Systems North America show in San Diego was informative and well attended but seemed to be reflecting some of that Southern California June gloom. This year it was just the opposite with packed stands and busy aisles.
