Getting chips to operate despite the harsh environment in space is no small feat, but an essential one for advancement in aerospace and defense. GF Deputy Director of Aerospace and Defense Deniz Civay chatted with Equal Opportunity Publications (EOP), Inc. to discuss her work in the field and how she’s grown her career at GF.

🪖🛡️APPLIED ENERGETICS & UA TECH PARK 🛡️🪖 A Tucson-based company that develops laser and optical technology is expanding at the University of Arizona’s Tech Park, where it plans to create a new lab and expand its manufacturing capacity. Applied Energetics leased 5,000 square feet of additional space at the UA of Tech Park to establish a "Battle Lab," allowing the company to conduct laser system testing and demonstrations. The facility will also provide more capacity to manufacture advanced lasers. Applied Energetics plans to increase its workforce as it ramps up manufacturing and testing for customers and government contracts, but it has not yet determined the number of workers it will hire. The company develops systems for aerospace, defense, industrial and scientific customers. It holds all crucial intellectual property rights to the development and use of laser guided energy and related technologies. In April, Applied Energetics landed a $1.2 million contract with the U.S. Navy Office of Naval Research for continued development and testing of its optical technology with an ultrashort pulse laser. The contract evolved from a two-year, $3.9 million grant from the Office of Naval Research previously announced in 2022 to develop and test infrared technology with the goal of making it capable of withstanding harsh conditions that U.S. Marines encounter in the field. What’s more, the company in May was selected to join a U.S. Department of Defense consortium to support development of space-related technologies for the military. #military #aerospace #defense #marinecorps #ericcook

RTX and Ursa Major have successfully conducted flight tests of a new solid rocket motor with long-range capabilities. 🚀 💬  Ursa Major CEO Daniel Jablonsky: “The innovative manufacturing techniques we employ are yielding agile solid rocket motor solutions with the design flexibility needed to expand the capabilities of the US military.”

🤖 𝗞𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗶𝘁 𝘀𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲, 𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗽𝗶𝗱!🤖 Did you know that the KISS principle Was coined by Lockheed engineer Kelly Johnson? Johnson illustrated this by challenging engineers. He gave them a basic tools and ask To design a jet repairable by them In a combat conditions "Stupid" refers to the need for practical simplicity. Widely adopted by the U.S. military, Developers and engineers around the World The principle still remains influential and hard to achive :) Pssst!

Imagine what this could mean for maintenance and operations in so many different applications.

The U.S. Navy has awarded Anello Photonics a Phase I SBIR contract to develop an alternative navigation system for hypersonic vehicles operating in GPS-degraded and GPS-denied environments. This initiative underscores the critical importance of advancing resilient navigation technologies to maintain operational superiority in contested domains. Anello Photonics’ photonic inertial sensor technology has the potential to enhance precision and reliability, addressing one of the most pressing challenges in modern defense systems. This contract represents a significant step forward in ensuring mission success in increasingly complex operational environments. Dr. Mario Paniccia, CEO of ANELLO Photonics, said, "We are excited to work with the U.S. Navy and provide them access to our innovative and cutting-edge technology. "Within this program, the U.S. Navy can directly evaluate and experience first-hand the benefits of the ANELLO products for navigation in GPS-denied or contested environments."
