New Research Contributes To Defense Of Earth's Technologies
Leicester, UK (SPX) Jun 04, 2009University of Leicester researchers have taken a step forward in helping to create a defence for earth's technologies - from the constant threat of space weather. They have implemented a "double pulse" radar-operating mode on two radars, which form part of a global network of ground based coherent scatter radars called SuperDARN (Super Dual Auroral Radar Network). These radars allow ... more Raytheon's SLAMRAAM Demonstrates Ability To Intercept UAS
Tewksbury MA (SPX) Jun 05, 2009Raytheon's Surface Launched Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missile successfully intercepted a maneuvering unmanned aircraft system (UAS) during a flight test at White Sands Missile Range, N.M. "This test highlighted the flexibility and adaptability networked sensors and shooters bring to the warfighter to respond to today's evolving threats," said Pete Franklin, vice president for ... more Referencing The Climatic Impact Of Desert Dust
Granada, Spain (SPX) Jun 05, 2009In the context of the climatic change of the planet, those research works that throw light on global warming are of great interest. That is the case of the studies on atmospheric aerosol, a suspension of solid or liquid particles on a gaseous environment that can contribute to the warming or cooling of the atmosphere. Juan Luis Guerrero Rascado developed his doctoral thesis "Lidar ... more TerraSAR-X Views L'Aquila After The Earthquake
Bonn, Germany (SPX) Jun 04, 2009The image from the German TerraSAR-X radar satellite shows the area around the Italian town of L'Aquila after the magnitude 6.3 earthquake struck on 6 April 2009. Two images from the satellite were combined for the picture, taken before and after the earthquake, to create an interferogram. The 'coloured rings' around L'Aquila stand out. These rings represent, in colour coding, the ground m ... more |

Lightning bolts a risk for modern jets
Paris (AFP) June 2, 2009Passenger jets are hit by lightning every 1,000 hours -- on average twice a year -- and experts say the risk from the bolts of electricity is growing. But technical experts, astounded like everyone else by the disappearance of an Air France jet in the Atlantic with the feared loss of 228 lives, say lightning alone could not have caused it to crash into the ocean. Air France has said the ... more Agilent Expands Flexible PNA-X Network Analyzer Series
Santa Clara CA (SPX) Jun 02, 2009Agilent Technologies has expanded the world's most flexible PNA-X network analyzer with 13.5, 43.5 and 50 GHz models. The 43.5 and 50 GHz models support higher frequency applications such as radar and satellite communications, while the 13.5 GHz model is ideal for lower-frequency devices used in wireless communications. Agilent's award winning PNA-X nonlinear vector network analyzer (NVNA) ... more ESC Officials Complete Milestone For Advanced Radar System
Hancom AFB MA (SPX) Jun 02, 2009Equipping warfighters with the technology to detect moving targets in combat gained momentum when Electronic Systems Center officials here, in concert with prime contractors and other organizations, recently completed a key flight milestone for the Multiplatform Radar Technology Insertion Program. "At this point, we're delivering on the promise of advanced radar capability for the Global ... more Magellan Aerospace Awarded Contract For RADARSAT Constellation Mission
Toronto, Canada (SPX) May 29, 2009Magellan Aerospace has announced the award to its Winnipeg-based division, Bristol Aerospace, of the RADARSAT Constellation Mission (RCM) satellite bus development contract with MacDonald, Dettwiler and Associates (MDA) of Vancouver. The RCM mission is being developed by the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) to provide C-Band data continuity to existing RADARSAT-1 and RADARSAT-2 users. As well ... more |
