Targeting Pods: How They Work and Why They Matter __________________________________________________________ A targeting pod can track and attack ground targets that are either moving or still. This device is essential for fighter aircraft in battle situations because of its abilities. However, it is costly to install targeting pods on fighter aircraft. The price of a targeting module varies by model, but it is around $2 million on average. In addition, the costs of keeping and fixing targeting modules are very high. Other flying vehicles like drones and helicopters are also using targeting pods, which expands the market potential. Multi-spectral Sensors that is targeting pods incorporating infrared, radar, and laser technologies are offering enhanced target identification and tracking capabilities in diverse environments. According to my analysis the targeting pods market is valued at US$3.43 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow to US$8.38 billion by 2030. Some of the new technologies that are shaping the future of targeting pods are: ❏ Short-wave infrared ❏ High-definition color sensors ❏ Ground moving target indication #technology #unmannedaerialvehicle #drone #aircraft #infrared #military #defense #airforce #navy #army #laser #radar #jamming (Image Source: Northrop Grumman)

The NuPower™ 11B02A Mini Multi-Octave PA (MOPA) is a broadband, high-performance miniature solid-state power amplifier delivering 10 watts* of RF power for CW and near-constant-envelope waveforms across the frequency band of 200 to 2600 MHz. The NuPower™ 11B02A is the only model in the NuPower family which features low, medium, and high power “back-off” settings in support of linear waveform operation or to trade off output power in exchange for lower power consumption. The NuPower™ 11B02A’s rugged chassis allows the system integrator to easily incorporate the unit into a platform operating in harsh environments with limited space, such as small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS). The miniature form factor of 2.84 cubic inches brings state-of-the-art miniature power amplifier technology to the warfighter, meeting present challenges in size and weight reduction. NuWaves is shipping 3 units out later this week.

🤩👏 The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has picked six designs for the next phase of its AdvaNced airCraft Infrastructure-Less Launch And RecoverY (ANCILLARY) program. Designs by AeroVironment, Griffon Aerospace, Karem Aircraft, Method Aeronautics, Northrop Grumman, and Sikorsky were selected out of a total of nine. “The goal of ANCILLARY is to increase small vertical take-off and landing uncrewed aerial system capabilities by a factor of three over the current state-of-the-art flying today,” DARPA program manager for ANCILLARY Steve Komadina said. “Our performers are searching for innovative ways to increase payload weight and range/endurance of small, ship-launched UAS by means of novel configurations, propulsion, and controls while also removing the need for special infrastructure.” #military #army #defense #defence #defenseindustry #defenceindustry #defensetech #defencetech #militarytech #technology #innovation #drone #drones #uav #uas #darpa #martime #maritimedefense #maritimedefence #naval #aerospace #vtol

One of the challenges I have with much of the current debate on AI adoption in UK Defence is that it is overly focused on the back end and our vision of future war. We need to focus on tangible relatable outcomes for the customer/ user today to allow decision makers to see the utility of AI- as part of a trinity. AI- Robotics-Ubiquitous networks. The evidence is in the current war. Agile Combat Employment. Attritable Affordable Mass. Control of the Air. Mantras we espouse but can’t practice- because our concept of operating is wrong. The paradigm has changed. So must we.

Cyberpunk in real life: Ukrainian FPV drone operator with portable electronic warfare system, carrying directional antennas to cover his back. This is the face of defense in the 21st century. In Ukraine, #innovations in #technologies are happening at a pace that defense experts worldwide need to acknowledge. Ukraine is not only redefining tactics but is also shaping the very doctrine of warfare for the next decade. The Western military world, in many ways, isn’t fully prepared for this. The speed of change and rapid adaptation in Ukraine presents a challenge that traditional military structures struggle to keep up with. To truly learn from Ukraine, it’s not just about investment. What’s needed are new mentors, super-fast innovators, and dedicated programs to test and implement cutting-edge technologies and tactics in real-time. This is no longer a matter of years but of quarters.

The pace at which these innovations are taking place easily outpaces conventional acquisition timelines as well as any proprietary systems tech refresh rate. Modular Open Systems Architectures like the CMOSS/SOSA standards based systems that leverage an Ecosystem of providers for both HW and SW are the only way we can keep pace with the threat in this new paradigm of hyper adaptation.

Ooops! How that fits with EU safety on EM intensity? GPR surveyors suffers from regulations to get a little bit more depth of penetration in Europe due to restricted power of EM transmitters.

On September 10, 2024, the U.S. Army achieved two significant milestones in the development of its Future Tactical Unmanned Aircraft System (FTUAS) program, with the completion of the Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) compliance evaluations and flight demonstrations of competing prototypes. The Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) is a key initiative of the U.S. Army to enhance the interoperability and flexibility of its systems, particularly in unmanned aircraft system programs like the FTUAS. This strategic framework allows for seamless integration between various technological components, facilitating cooperation between different equipment and platforms. Thanks to MOSA's modular design, systems can easily integrate new technologies or update specific components, which promotes scalability without necessitating a complete overhaul. MOSA also helps reduce development costs and time by decreasing dependence on single suppliers and fostering healthy competition among them, which stimulates innovation and cost reduction. Aligning with open industrial standards also leverages technological advances from the civilian sector, thus enhancing the relevance and efficiency of military systems. Additionally, MOSA's modularity simplifies system maintenance, allowing for updates or replacements of individual components, which ensures increased operational availability and extends the equipment's lifespan. #military #defense #defence #aerospace #aviation #aircraft #aircrafts #airplane #airplanes #aviationlovers #militaryaviation #militaryaircraft #fighterjet #engineering #technology #militarytechnology #defensetechnology #defenseinnovation #defenseindustry #airforce #pilots #drone #drones #UAV
