Lockheed Martin EQ-36 Counterfire Target Acquisition Radar Completes CDR
Syracuse, NY (SPX) Jun 03, 2008Lockheed Martin recently completed a successful Critical Design Review (CDR) for the Enhanced AN/TPQ-36 counter-fire target acquisition (EQ-36) radar. The completion of this final design step, on schedule, clears the way for the program to move into an initial production phase for five radar systems. The U.S. Army's new EQ-36 radar will provide the capability to detect, classify, track and ... more Targeting A Lunar Bulls-Eye 
Moffett Field CA (SPX) Jun 03, 2008Researchers have used Earth-based radar to examine ejecta material from the massive impact that formed the moon's Orientale impact basin. Orientale basin is located at the very edge of the moon's visible face. Previously, this crater was difficult to study because it is only partially visible to telescopes on Earth. Newly developed techniques now have been used to make high-resolution radar obse ... more Keeping The Military Fully Networked And Online 
Bethpage NY (SPX) Jun 03, 2008Northrop Grumman has conducted a study for the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Dayton, Ohio, which demonstrates airborne electronic jammer aircraft are more effective and efficient when networked and enhanced by decision aids. Airborne electronic attack, or "jamming," aircraft can blind, disrupt or otherwise affect enemy radars, communications, comput ... more Study finds best times for radio signals 
Leicester, England (UPI) May 21, 2008 British engineers say they've found a specific window exists when mobile radio signals are "super strength," allowing them to be clearer and travel farther. University of Leicester researchers studied the signal strength of radio waves traveling over the sea and identified late afternoons and early evenings in spring and summer as a time when enhanced signals occur. The research ... more The Radar SHARAD Completes The Mars Stratigraphy 
Rome, Italy (SPX) May 26, 2008The radar sounder SHARAD of the NASA mission Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter has provided images of the Mars North Pole stratigraphy. This is the beginning of the article "Mars North Polar Deposits: Stratigraphy, Age and Geodynamical Response", published Friday on Science and prepared by a team of Italian and USA scientists, among which the radar scientific responsible, Dr. Roberto Seu, a scie ... more |

Pasadena CA (JPL) May 14, 2008Cassini completed a successful flyby of Titan on May 12, at an altitude of 1,000 kilometers (620 miles), for the first of two Titan northern hemisphere flybys that will wrap up the original four-year mission. On this flyby, Cassini's radar instrument mapped the bright region of Xanadu, which was only partly imaged previously. This overlap in coverage may yield stereo views of the ... more Northrop Grumman Begins Installing New Engines On Joint STARS 
Melbourne FL (SPX) May 14, 2008The U.S. Air Force has awarded Northrop Grumman two undefinitized contracts, worth $300 million collectively, to complete non-recurring engineering, flight test/certification and begin production of new engines for the service's E-8C Joint Surveillance Target Attack Radar System (Joint STARS) fleet. The E-8C is a modified B707-300 series commercial aircraft that detects, locates, classifie ... more Boeing Provides New Test Facility For Next-Gen Radar Technology 
St. Louis MO (SPX) May 09, 2008Boeing has dedicated a new test and evaluation facility in Huntington Beach, Calif., that provides the technology and capability to support both current and future radar-based weapon systems. The Dynamic Advanced Radar Test (DART) facility represents a $10 million investment for the company. "DART is a one-stop, full-service facility to support design, development and qualification testin ... more No permanent foreign inspectors in US-Czech radar talks: minister 
Prague (AFP) May 11, 2008Neither the Czech Republic nor the United States have made provisions for permanent Russian inspectors at their joint anti-missile radar project, a junior government minister said Sunday. Czech deputy defence minister Martin Bartak told Czech public television that while an agreement between Prague and Washington mentions inspections, is says nothing about a permanent presence of inspectors ... more A Glorious Saturn Steps Into The Spotlight In New York City 
New York NY (SPX) May 06, 2008In the four years since NASA's Cassini-Huygens spacecraft arrived at Saturn and began snapping pictures, Cassini's cameras have sent nearly 140,000 images back to researchers on Earth. The data and images -- as well as data from infrared, radar and ultraviolet detectors on the orbiter and images from the Huygens probe on the surface of the planet's moon Titan -- have given researchers ... more |
