The incredible shrinking budget for
U.S. military technology research
The U.S. Department of Defense
(DOD) budget for research, develop-
ment, test, and evaluation (RDT&E)
is on a trajectory for a third straight
year of decline, with a fscal 2013 re-
quest for $69.65 billiondown near-
ly 14 percent from recent-year peak
spending of $80.92 billion in 2010.
Over the past seven budget cycles,
DOD research saw steady increases
from 2007 to 2010, but then nosed
over in a sharp decline. DOD re-
search spending fell to $76.13 billion
in 2011, to $72.84 billion this year,
and would drop further to a seven-
year low of $69.65 billion in fscal
2013, which begins next Oct. 1.
The Pentagons RDT&E budget is
the nations well spring of military
technology development. It is the
source of funding for enabling tech-
nologies that are key to a wide vari-
ety of new and emerging military
applications, ranging from advanced
avionics, network-centric warfare,
unmanned vehicles, ballistic missile
defense, to laser weapons, locating
improvised explosive devices (IEDs),
and strategic computing.
Cutting the military RDT&E bud-
get, as the Pentagon has been doing,
will force technology developers to
make some hard decisions, because
not all the research and development
initiatives begun over the past sever-
al years can remain high priorities.
At best, a continued downward
trend in U.S. military research
spending will provide incentive for
defense offcials to sharpen their
pencils, cut the dead wood, and re-
defne their highest military technol-
ogy priorities for the years to come,
based on promoting the most prom-
ising emerging technologies and
either abandoning or cutting back
on projects with low potential.
At worst, however, an ongoing
decline in military research spend-
ing threatens vital technology de-
velopment initiatives at a moment
in time when the U.S. military is in
transition from a Post-World War II
Cold-War footing to a very uncer-
tain future involving threats from
radical Islamic regimes in the Mid-
dle East, to economically dominant
China that is fexing its military
muscle around the world, to a re-
surgent Russia eager to reassert its
military prowess.
Without a very shrewd husband-
ing of dwindling military RDT&E re-
sources over the next several years,
the entire U.S. military establish-
ment risks a long-term decline.
Some experts had believed that
the Pentagons research budget
might see a resurgence in 2013, as
the fnancial demands of long-term
military operations in Iraq and Af-
ghanistan eased as those conficts
begin winding up. For a decade, the
Pentagon had to bear the expense
of maintaining troops in the feld
deployed in active military opera-
tions. Troops had to be fed, clothed,
and equipped, vehicles and aircraft
had to be maintained and fueled,
and communications had to be in-
stalled overseas to keep touch with
those on the front lines.
At the same time, military vehi-
cles and equipment wore out, and
demand rose for new technologies to
meet quickly changing threats like
IEDs. For those 10 years, caring for
deployed troops TODAY was the pri-
ority, and military needs of tomor-
row took a back seat.
Now that troops deployed to Iraq
and Afghanistan are starting to
come home, 2013 seemed like the
best opportunity in a long time to
replenish research and development
accounts, but it was not to be.
The U.S. Army is one of the few
bright spots in the 2013 DOD re-
search budget. The Armys research
budget would grow by 2.2 percent in
2013 to $8.95 billion from 2012 lev-
els of $8.76 billion, dominated by re-
search and development in manned
ground vehicles. After the Army,
however, all the other military ser-
vices and defense agencies collec-
tively will see declines in their re-
search and development budgets.

Lockheed Martin, Atlas
Elektronik to build UUVs
U.S. Navy offcials are looking
to Lockheed Martin Corp. Mari-
time Systems & Sensors in Syr-
acuse, N.Y., and Atlas Elektronik
GmbH in Germany for the Ship-
board Mine Neutralization Sys-
tem-Seafox, and for refurbishing
and overhauling the AN/SQQ-
32 Airborne Mine Neutralization
System-Seafox, under terms of
a $45.6 million contract. At the
heart of Lockheed Martin mine
neutralization systems is the
Seafox neutralizer unmanned
underwater vehicle (UUV) from
Atlas Elektronik. Seafox is cued
by data gathered from a mine-
countermeasures ship, aircraft,
or UUV. The neutralizer can op-
erate autonomously by using
onboard sensors to re-acquire
the target automatically, or an
AMNS operator can maneuver
the vehicle to the target.

DARPA launches cyber
security initiative
The U.S. Defense Advanced Re-
search Projects Agency in Ar-
lington, Va., is kicking off the
High-Assurance Cyber Military
Systems (HACMS) program to
develop a set of tools for build-
ing vehicle-based, networked
military embedded systems
able to resist efforts by hackers
to attack and damage vetron-
ics computers remotely.
IN BRIEF
BY JOHN KELLER
ARLINGTON, Va.Military communi-
cations experts at the U.S. Defense
Advanced Research Projects Agen-
cy (DARPA) in Arlington, Va., are
asking for industrys help in provid-
ing pervasive, high-throughput mil-
itary cell phone-like commu-
nications to deployed
military units by
using a mobile
backbone that
provides com-
munications
over long dis-
tances to mil-
itary units on
the move.
DARPA has re-
leased a broad-agency
announcement (DARPA-
BAA-12-27) for the Fixed Wireless at
a Distance program, which among
other goals seeks to overcome the
limitations of todays military mo-
bile ad-hoc networks (MANETs) that
progressively limit service to indi-
vidual users as the network grows.
Deployed U.S. military forces to-
day often use mobile ad-hoc net-
works at the front lines of battle to
relay traffc beyond the range of an
individual radio to provide commu-
nication services to the largest area
possible. Todays MANETs scale
to about 100 nodes before perfor-
mance degrades to unacceptably
low levels, DARPA offcials say.
The Fixed Wireless at a Distance
program seeks to develop mobile
communications infrastructure that
interconnects small groups of mil-
itary radios, similarly to commer-
cial cellular telephone base stations
and Wi-Fi access points. DARPA re-
searchers are interested in a
kind of scaling capability
similar to commercial
cell phone networks,
which operators
often push to their
capacity limits.
Unlike a commer-
cial cell phone net-
work, however, DARPA
wants to develop wireless communi-
cations capability that not only em-
phasizes geographic coverage rather
than limiting interference, but also
supports mobile front-line military
forces where infrastructure cannot
always be installed in advance of
military operations.
This pervasive wireless military
communications capability must be
able to support relatively old mili-
tary radios now in the feld, com-
DARPA asks industry to develop
long-range, cell-like communications
for front-line warfghters

Demands are high on rugged lap-
top computers for military appli-
cations. On the network-centric
battlefelds of today, users rely on
rugged laptops to deliver and pro-
cess mission-critical information
quickly. New applications are being
designed as soldiers, sailors, and
airmen carry these rugged comput-
ers on the front lines to provide in-
telligence and ever-increasing func-
tionality for warfghters.
Of course, the frst thing
military customers want
from their rugged lap-
tops is right in the
name: ruggedness.
The most impor-
tant aspect is that
rugged laptops
do exactly what
they say they
do; the term rugged gets thrown
around a lot, says Tim Collins, di-
rector of federal defense & intelli-
gence at Panasonic Solutions Co. in
Secaucus, N.J.
When the information being
sent and received from a laptop
can save lives, system failure is not
an option, despite the many threats
to laptop computer reliability in the
feld. Dust and water particles can
enter a system and prevent pieces
from working properly. Laptops
can be dropped, or suffer through
heavy vibrations while
on an airplane or heli-
copter. The companies
that design these prod-
ucts have been working to
keep up with these threats.
A lot of im-
provements are
around materials
management, improving the dura-
bility and survivability of the sys-
tem; how can we look at the way
the plastics are designed to absorb
more impact? explains Joe Trick-
ey, rugged mobility and digital fo-
rensics marketing manager at Dell
Inc. in Round Rock, Texas. Manu-
facturers are creating new materi-
als and improved casings constant-
ly to shield laptops from complete
submersion in water, physically jar-
ring drops, and hostile-environ-
ment conditions.
Ruggedness isnt the only hard-
ware advancement expected for
rugged laptops.
I think the next thing youre
going to see is going to be two-
fold, probably in the glassactive
touch screen and resistant touch
through gloves, multi-touch tech-
nology, says Dells Trickey. Innova-
Rugged laptops advance as they fnd new uses on todays battlefeld

even readable through night-vision

In addition to hardware im-
provements, new applications are
being designed to provide more
utility to warfghters. A recent ex-
ample is the Biometric Automated
Toolset (BATS) that scans fnger-
prints and documents at military
checkpoints to keep IDs on sus-
pects and keep track of movement.
Panasonics Collins describes the
BATS as One of the greatest
non-invasive tools available to
warfghters.
With the constant advances in
rugged laptop technology, there are
many possibilities buzzing about.
Once you have the platform as a
base, there is a solutions capabili-
ty that you can now evolve upon,
Dells Trickey says. Mobile digital
forensics product that allows the
warfghter to go into an enemy com-
bat situation and retrieve enemy
hard drives off notebooks, memory
sticks, cell phones, or cameras.
Using that rugged notebook and giv-
ing it to military collections teams in
the feld provides a great beneft that
now gives them things that they
need to do to extract information
and support the overall mission.
The rugged laptop seems to
have found its niche in high-perfor-
mance tasks that also require high
mobility. I think youre probably
going to see the rugged laptop will
always have its place in a vehicle or
tactical environment, Dells Trick-
ey says. The individual warfght-
ers arent going to need as much,
so they may use a slate. Laptops
will have a use by performing the
heavy lifting, such as the applica-
tions mentioned earlier, that needs
to be done less frequently.
Rugged laptops look like theyre
here to stay, and will continue
evolving to ft the warfghters
needs. Panasonics Collins explains
the industrys outlook on the fu-
ture: You just dont know where
the next theater will take place,
but we will be designing for that
environment.

mercial communications systems, and enhanced-range communications
devices. Each transceiver may include 3G or 4G commercial cellular and
Wi-Fi base station technology to support communications over a few miles.
Technology developed must support conventional military radios over
distances of three to 12 miles, as well as specially equipped multiple-input
and multiple-output (MIMO) military client radios with two to 20 simulta-
neous coherent signal streams at distances farther than 30 miles.
Technology options under consideration include increasing transmit
power or receive sensitivity, increasing base station antenna height, in-
creasing base station antenna gain, and space-time coding.
DARPA researchers also are interested in technologies to improve de-
ployment and operation of fxed-infrastructure systems, as well as explor-
ing new kinds of network architectures that such long-range data com-
munications to, from, and among deployed military forces might enable.
Companies interested in participating in the Fixed Wireless at a Dis-

SPECI AL REPORT
Given the downward pressure on
the U.S. Department of Defense
(DOD) proposed budget for 2013, se-
nior U.S. Navy and industry leaders
are driving the need for decisive and
game-changing ships, systems, and
technologies for the feet.
Progress continued in 2011 on
the Navys major new shipbuilding
initiatives with a rush of late-year
actions. In October, Marinette Ma-
rine Shipbuilding in Marinette, Wis.,
laid the keel for the littoral combat
ship USS Milwaukee (LCS 5), the
third LCS to be built by the industry
team of Lockheed Martin and Mari-
nette Marine on a contract award-
ed in December 2010 with options
for 10 ships; a similar contract was
awarded to a second LCS team of
General Dynamics Bath Ironworks
in Bath, Me., and shipbuilder Austal
USA in Mobile, Ala.
Navy offcials say they hope to
build 55 LCSs, a mix of the Lockheed
Martin-Marinette traditional design
(Freedom class) and the GD-Austal
USA Independence-class three-hull
trimarin. Both LCS designs will ac-
commodate mine warfare, surface
warfare, and anti-submarine war-
fare modules to accommodate the
ships assigned mission.
Milwaukee should be delivered
to the Navy in 2014. Also in October,
USS Fort Worth, the teams second
LCS, completed builders trials in
Green Bay and Lake Michigan, and
will be delivered next year.
In late December, Austal USA
won a $7.9 million contract for en-
gineering services for the LCS
program. The Navy awarded a
modifcation to the General Dynam-
ics-Austal LCS contract for construc-
tion of USS Jackson (LCS 6). Austal is

initiatives even as it faces severe funding constraints for shipbuilding
and systems acquisition that are likely to continue for the long term.

extensive reliability problems caused,
he said, by inadequate government
oversight and unsatisfactory perfor-
mance by the shipbuilder. He said the
class has received intense focus in
the past three years, with the new-
est ship, USS San Diego (LPD-22) put
through extended acceptance trials.
Two others, USS Mesa Verde (LPD 19)
and USS Green Bay (LPD 20) have per-
formed well on lengthy deployments.
He pointed out that of the 313
ships the Navy expects to have in
2020, 75 percent of them are in the
feet today. We have to maintain
the ships, he said. Currently, the
Navy has 285 ships in service.
The Navy awarded General Dy-
namics Bath Iron Works a $1.8 bil-
lion contract in September to build
the second and third Zumwalt-class
(DDG 1000) destroyers, USS Michael
Monsoor (DDG 1001) and as-yet un-
named DDG 1002. In November, the
shipbuilder laid the keel for Zum-
walt at its Bath, Me., shipyard. Zum-
walt is scheduled for delivery in
2014, Monsoor in December 2015,
and the third ship in February 2018.
Work on the DDG 1000 class is
shared by General Dynamics Bath
and Huntington Ingalls Industries,
which builds the ship deckhouse.
In early December, the company re-
ceived a $46 million contract for ad-
vance procurement for DDG 1002;
the company is working on the deck-
houses for the frst two Zumwalts.

knots. USS Spearhead, (JHSV 1) is
set for builders trials; two ships are
in the yard, and four more are un-
der contract.
Overall, the Navy awarded con-
tracts for 13 ships in 2011: three Ar-
leigh Burke (DDG 51)-class destroy-
ers; the two Zumwalts and two
LCSs; two JSHVs, one San Antonio-
class amphib; two mobile landing
platforms, awarded to General Dy-
namics National Steel and Ship-
building; and one oceanographic re-
search ship (AGOR 27), to Dakota
Creek Industries.
The Navy took delivery of two
Burke-class destroyers, one Virgin-
ia-class attack submarine, one San
Antonio-class ship, the USS San Di-
ego, and two auxiliaries.
The Navys most long-term recent
shipbuilding plan, released in Feb-
ruary 2011, projects construction of
276 ships over 30 years, 20112040:
198 combatants and 78 auxiliaries.
The Congressional Budget Offce, in
a March 2011 report, argues that if
the Navy receives the same amount
of funding for ship construction
over the next 30 years as in the past
three decadesit will not be able to
afford all the ships called for in the
2011 plan.
The CBO study says that the Navy
estimates that it will need $16 billion
per year, or $476 billion over 30 years,
to build the needed ships. The study
adds that the Navys estimate is sole-
ly for ship construction, and doesnt
include outftting ships after con-
struction or nuclear refueling for the
aircraft carriers, which add about $2
billion per year. Accounting for those
and other post-delivery costs, CBO
says, ship construction could cost
roughly $21 billion per year or $569
billion for the 30-year timeframe, or
about 18 percent higher than the Na-
vys estimates.
Navy offcials say that theyve con-
fronted the looming imbalance be-
tween funding and shipbuilding
goals. In January, Wilmot Summerall,
executive director for combatants in
the Program Executive Offce for
Ships noted that the Navy now has
40 ships under contract, $14.5 billion
in work on should cost budgets. The
work provides a pipeline for the feet
for coming years, as budgets decline.
The new U.S. defense strategy an-
nounced by President Obama on 6
Jan. suggests a continuing critical
role for naval power. The President
said that we will of necessity rebal-
ance toward the Asia-Pacifc region.
We will emphasize our existing al-
liances, which provide a vital foun-
dation for Asia-Pacifc security. We
will also expand our networks of co-
operation with emerging partners
throughout the Asia-Pacifc.
Mobile Bay (CG-53), a baseline 2 Aegis
cruiser, already has completed the CG

ing our naval presence in the Pacifc, maintaining our
military presence, and that the U.S. has a common in-
terest with China in dealing with the threats that exist
in the Pacifc.
Ship systems
In July, the Navy shut down the Program Executive Of-
fce for Littoral and Mine Warfare and stood up PEO Lit-
toral Combat Ships, under Rear Adm. James Murdoch.
The new PEO is responsible for six program offces that
support the LCS program and oversee development of
the LCS mission modules, with Northrop Grumman as
prime contractor.
The mine warfare module will include the WLD-1 re-
mote minehunting system developed by Lockheed Mar-
tin, the MH-60S helicopter, and the Raytheon-built AQS-
20A minehunting sonar among other systems.
The surface package will consist of a 30-millimeter
gun and a 57-millimeter naval gun provided by BAE
Systems. The ASW module is expected to include the
MH-60R helicopter controlling an airborne low-frequen-
cy sonar, as well as variable-depth sonar and the capa-
bility trail a multifunction towed array sonar, and oth-
er ASW systems.
The full-dress modernization of Ticonderoga-class (CG
47) cruisers and Burke-class destroyers, equipped with
the Aegis combat system based on the SPY-1(v) phased-
array radar, promises major gains in capability by intro-
ducing new technology and systems for battle group air-
defense and ballistic missile defense (BMD). New combat
system software will be compliant with the Navys Open
Architecture initiative, represented by an Open Architec-
ture Computing Environment (OACE), which mandates
scalable, modular code based on commercial standards.
The frst fve baseline 1 Tico-class ships have been
taken out of service. Baseline 2 ships, CGs 52 through
58, have been ftted by longtime Aegis prime contractor
Lockheed Martin MS2 with a new combat system soft-
ware program called advanced capability build (ACB-08).
ACB-08 supports new computer hardware, display,
and radar upgrades. The Mk-41 vertical launch system is
modifed to launch the Evolved Seasparrow missile for
anti-air defense. Other upgrades include the Mk 15 Pha-
lanx Block 1B close-in weapon system for terminal air
defense, a shipboard advanced radar target identifcation

Management System, the Mk-116
(mod 7) undersea weapons tracking
system, and the Cooperative Engage-
ment Capability (CEC), for the cruis-
ers not already equipped with it.
The baseline 3 (CGs 59 through 64)
and baseline 4 ships (CGs 65 through
73) will get a new ACB-12 program,
now under development at Lockheed
Martins Moorestown, N.J., site, and
planned for felding this year. ACB-
12 encompasses the ACB-08 system
enhancements, plus BMD with up-
grades to the transmitter of the Aegis
phased-array radar, the SPY-1B, and a
new multi-mission signal processor.
The processor adds BMD for ships not
already BMD-capable.
The baseline 3 and 4 ships also
get an Aegis littoral processor, which
improves radar discrimination in
heavy surface clutter; the Naval inte-
grated fre control-counter air (NIFC-
CA); and the RIM-174 SM-6 extended
range active air-defense missile. Oth-
er upgrades are the SPQ-9B anti-ship
missile defense radar, and the Mk-45
.62 caliber gun system, which is con-
trolled by a Mk-160 gun computing
system. For undersea warfare, ACB-
12 adds the SQQ-89A(v)15 undersea
warfare system, which incorporates
a multifunction towed array sonar.
In the past year, the Navy and
Lockheed have restructured the
baseline designations of combat sys-
tems, reverting to a hierarchy that
evolved from baseline 0 through 2
for the frst four cruisers through
baseline 7, which represented inser-
tion of commercially developed pro-
cessor technology.
In the new scheme, ACB-12 be-
comes baseline 9, which is further
subdivided as 9A (cruisers 59 to 73);
9C (DDGs 51 to 78); 9D (new con-
struction destroyers DDGs 113 to
116). Baseline 9E will support the
Aegis Ashore radar for the new
land-based missile defense system
to be operational in Romania in Au-
gust 2015 and in Poland in 2018.
The USS William S. Sims (DDG
113), now under contract to Hun-
tington Ingalls Industries, will be
the frst destroyer to receive base-
line 9D. The 9D installations will
continue for four or fve years, prob-

will be followed by baseline 10.
The destroyer modernization will
provide the same level of combat ca-
pability planned for the Sims and two
following new-construction ships
(DDGs 114 to 115): the Aegis SPY-1D
radar transmitter upgrades; combat
information center display improve-
ments; and new navigation radar and
identifcation friend/foe enhance-
ments. For ship defense, they also
receive new electronic warfare and
torpedo defense capabilities.
Other upgrades are the SQQ-
89A(v)15 with the multifunction
towed array sonar, Evolved Seaspar-
row missile, Block 1B Phalanx, SM-6
air-defense missile, and NIFC-CA.
Sparta Inc. in Pasadena, Calif., is
building power transmission assem-
blies for the Aegis SPY-1D(v) and the
Aegis Ashore SPY variant. The com-
pany is under contract to Lockheed
Martin for 3,700 radio and microwave
assemblies, to be built in Exeter, N.H.
Navy and industry offcials say
that as the upgrades come online, the
next step for surface combatants will
be a decision to develop an air-missile
defense radar (AMDR) that combines
an X-band radar for precision track-
ing, horizon search, discrimination,
and terminal target illumination,
and an S-band radar for wide-area
volume search, including ballistic-
missile detection and tracking.
The Burke-class restart is expect-
ed to lead to introduction of a Flight
III ship beginning with DDG-122, the
frst ship to be ftted out with the
AMDR. The Navy will complete a
two-year study of Flight III require-
ments this year. The new Burke will
get other combat systems upgrades
and a power architecture capable of
meeting the huge power demands of
the new combat system.
Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, and
Northrop Grumman won contracts
in 2009 for AMDR studies, to be com-
pleted this September. Northrop
Grumman has done extensive work
in electronically scanned S-band ra-
dars. In September 2011, Raythe-
on announced it had demonstrated
AMDR transmit-receive modules that
incorporate new gallium nitride inte-
grated circuit technology. Lockheed
Martin also has demonstrated con-
ceptual AMDR designs for the Navy.
The Navy is planning a competi-
tive award for the role of Aegis CSEA
for the next 10 years. In July of last
year, the Navy asked for bids on the
CSEA work. Lockheed Martin MS2,
Raytheon Integrated Defense Sys-
tems, and Boeings Strategic Missile
& Defense Systems submitted pro-
posals in December, with the award
expected this fall.
The Raytheon-built Mk1 and Mk
2 Ship Self-Defense System provide
weapons and sensor control aboard
aircraft carriers and big-deck am-
phibs. Late last year, the company de-
livered the thirtieth and thirty-frst
Mk 2 systems for LHA-7, the new-
est America-class amphib and John P.
Murtha (LPD-26). The Mk 1 system is
aboard USS Whidbey Island (LSD 41)
and USS Harpers Ferry (LSD 49) class
amphibs; the Mk 2, which is Open
Architecture compliant, is aboard the
Nimitz-class (CVN 68) carriers, the
two newest Wasp-class ships USS
Iwo Jima and USS Makin Island (LHDs
7 and 8), and San Antonio-class LPDs,

and will go aboard USS America
(LHA-6), now being built at Hunting-
ton Ingalls Industries, and USS Gerald
R. Ford (CVN- 78), under construction
at Huntington Ingalls Newport News
Shipbuilding.
Raytheon is completing develop-
ment of the Mk 2 SSDS for the LSD
41 and 49 classes. Mk 2 also will go
aboard USS Wasp (LHD 1); the Navy
is considering felding it to LHDs 2 to
6. SSDS integrates ship air-defense
weapons and sensors, including the
SPS 48, SPS 49, and SPS 73 radars,
the Mk 15 Phalanx close-in weapon
system, and NATO Seasparrow and
Evolved Seasparrow air-defense mis-
siles. Raytheon says that SSDS was
developed aiming at an open pro-
cessing architecture and has gone
through several enhancements. The
newest baseline incorporates ele-
ments of the total ship computing
environment (TSCE), a network the
company developed for DDG-1000 for
control of all ship systems.
Raytheon also developed and
builds the shipwide area network
that integrates combat and machin-
ery control systems aboard the San
Antonios. The company provides
the navigation data distribution sys-
tem, integrated voice network, mag-
netic signature control system, and
the SPS-73 radar for the class.
Further supporting feet air de-
fense, the Navy in December award-
ed a contract to Sechan Electronics
of Litiz, Pa., for a new digital signal
processor called the Sierra assembly
for the CEC sensor network system.
CEC, built by Raytheon Netcentric
Systems, is now in service or going
aboard Ticos and Burkes, as well as
Nimitz-class carriers, Wasp-class big-
deck amphibious assault ships, and
in an airborne variant, aboard the
E-2D Hawkeye 2000 and Advanced
Hawkeye surveillance aircraft.
The Sechan processor, which will
conduct CEC core processing, em-
ploys a programmable Sierra II cryp-
tographic element developed by
Harris RF Communications in Roch-
ester, N.Y. Sechan will deliver the
processor to Raytheon for integra-
tion with the CEC processor unit,
which controls the data distribution
system communications component
and the CEC directional antenna.
CEC enables CEC-equipped ships
and aircraft to participate in a wide-
area air-defense network. The pro-
cessor fuses data obtained from ra-
dars and other sensors in a common
target picture that is available in
near real time to all network partic-
ipants. The system in separate vari-
ants is planned for the Marine Corps
land-based Composite Tracking Net-
work and the Armys Joint Land At-
tack Cruise Missile Defense Elevated
Netted Sensor System, or JLENS.
The Navy awarded Raytheon a
contract in March 2011, modifying
an earlier contract, for CEC produc-
tion for the carrier USS Abraham
Lincoln (CVN 72) and Gerald B. Ford
(CVN 78), the frst of Navys new-
est carrier class. Later, the company
won a contract for airborne units for
the E-2D Hawkeye, and in Decem-
ber received an order for CEC work
for the Australian Navys new air-
defense destroyer. The United King-
dom Royal Navy and the Canadian
navy also will get CEC.

integration aboard the Zumwalt. The
gun magazines have been integrat-
ed with the hull in the modular con-
struction method used to build the
ship. The company won a $168 mil-
lion Navy contract in October 2011 for
production of the AGS for DDG-1002.
The AGS, a primary land-attack
weapon, will be the largest six-inch
gun system aboard any surface ship.
It will fre a 155-millimeter rocket-as-
sisted round called a long-range land-
attack projectile (LRLAP) to ranges
of about 70 nautical miles. Each ship
will be armed with two gun systems
and two 300-round magazines. The
guns will fre a maximum rate of 10
rounds per minute and could sustain
that rate for the entire 300 rounds,
BAE offcials say. The gun and mag-
azine systems will be automatic for
loading and fring, with fre orders
generated by the DDG-1000 TSCE.
The Weapons Systems business
unit is the former United Defense,
which BAE acquired in 2005. Unit-
ed Defense for years built the Navys
Mk 45 fve-inch shipboard deck gun,
now modifed as 62-caliber gun go-
ing aboard new-construction Burkes.
BAE Systems is teamed for de-
velopment of the LRLAP round with
Lockheed Martin Missile and Fire
Control group, which is building test
hardware.
In early November, the Navy
awarded General Dynamics a $14.3
million modifcation to an earli-
er contract, exercising options for
DDG-1000-class logistics services.
Raytheons Integrated Defense Sys-
tems group received a $20.8 modif-
cation to a previous award for engi-
neering, production, and integration
for the Zumwalt program for 2012,
primarily for TSCE work.
Research and development
Several groundbreaking research and
development initiatives are under-
way that apply new systems engi-
neering concepts and technologies
for surface-ship design. The Offce of
Naval Research has evaluated pro-
totype components of an electronic
warfare/information operations com-
munications (EWIOC) system and a
submarine satellite communications
multifunction mast. The compo-
nents, ONR says, could be incorporat-
ed into a so-called Integrated Topside
effort or INTOP, in ONRs Innovative
Naval Prototypes program.
The INPs are technology devel-
opment efforts that offer promising
warfghting payoffs. The INTOP ef-
fort aims to develop multifunction
antenna apertures that could inte-
grate electronic warfare, communi-
cations, and radar functions for sur-
face ships and submarines. ONR
offcials say that the effort is devel-
oping a scalable family of aper-
tures for multiple ship classes.
The program has evolved from an
earlier ONR proof-of-concept called
AMRFC, or advanced multifunction
RF concept, that examined aper-
ture designs and technologies devel-
oped by Lockheed Martin, Northrop
Grumman, and Raytheon, that could
be used interchangeably for radar,
EW, and comm, thereby reducing the
proliferation of shipboard antennas
that increase electromagnetic inter-
ference, degrading performance and
increasing ships radar signatures.
Two teams, one of Northrop
Grumman Electronics Systems and
ITT, and other of Raytheon and Gen-
eral Dynamics Advanced Informa-
tion Systems (GDAIS), are develop-
ing EWIOC prototypes. Argon ST is
working with both teams. BAE Sys-
tems, DRS Technologies, Colorado
Engineering, Hypres Inc., and South-
west Research Institute are work-
ing on indefnite-delivery/indefnite-
quantity contracts and would have
to compete for INTOPS task orders.
The INTOP work dovetails with
the Surface Electronic Warfare Im-
provement Program (SEWIP), an in-
cremental effort to upgrade surface
EW systems. GDAIS developed an
early system, and Lockheed Martin is
working on a block 2 SEWIP design.
Another promising ONR effort is
the electromagnetic rail gun that,
pursued in collaboration with the
Naval Research Laboratory, has gone
through more than 1,000 success-
ful test-frings. The railgun uses

cording to ONR, to destroy targets
with kinetic impact. The frst shot

ber 2010, the railgun, in testing at the
Naval Surface Warfare Centers Dahl-
gren Va., lab, fred a 33-megajoule

erated by a one-ton car moving at
100 miles per hour). The programs
current goal, ONR says, is a 64-mega-
joule railgun with a 220-mile range.
In January, General Atomics, un-
der contract to develop an electro-
magnetic aircraft launch system and
advanced arresting gear (EMALS/
AAG) for carriers, delivered the f-
nal unit of 12 energy storage system
generator sets for installation aboard

Raytheons Integrated Defense
Systems business won a $10 million
award in October 2011 for research
and development of power-load mod-
ules for an integrated power system
and pulsed power loads for future
surface combatants. The power-load
modules are for use in pulse-form-
ing networks for powering new sys-
tems, such as railguns, lasers, and ra-
dars, as well as R&D on approaches
to shipboard energy storage and on
integrating the modules aboard ship.
Shipboard power
The Navy is developing and testing
new shipboard power and machin-
ery designs aiming at the eventu-
al goal of integrated power systems
and an all-electric ship.
The Philadelphia laboratory of the
Naval Surface Warfare Centers Car-
derock Division is testing a proto-
type hybrid electric-drive system
developed by General Atomics and
DRS Technologies that could be for-
ward-ft and backft for the Burke-
class destroyers and other ships.
The Wasp-class amphib Makin
Island is ftted with a hybrid sys-
tem consisting of two General Elec-
tric LM2500+ gas turbine engines
and two auxiliary diesel electric mo-
tors. Navy and industry offcials
have frequently cited its 2009 transit
from Pascagoula, Miss., to San Diego,
when the system reduced fuel costs
by $2 million.
The General Atomics-DRS system
consists of a permanent magnet mo-
tor, motor drive, and power convert-
er and control electronics. At low
speeds, the gas turbines provide
power through a motor drive and a
frequency converter to the motor, ft-
ted to the reduction gear. Following
the Philadelphia testing, the proto-
type will go aboard the destroyer
Truxton (DDG-103) for at-sea testing.
The planned felding of the air
missile defense radar for Flight III
Burkes, with its high power require-
ments, make power generation a crit-
ical priority. General Electric, long-
time builder of gas turbine engines
for the Ticonderogas, Burkes, and
amphibious ships, says that its GE38
engine, which will power the Marine
Corps CH-53k heavy-lift helicopter,
could be a candidate for the ship-ser-
vice generator for the Flight III ship.

Aerospace and defense professionals,
in the quest to do more with less,
have turned their attentions to in-
fusing systems new and old with ro-
bust, capable, effcient microproces-
sors. A wealth of high-performance
computing options exist, however,
causing systems architects and sys-
tems integrators to consider closely
all options when selecting silicon.
A set of characteristics is fairly
common across most aerospace and
defense applications, whether an
airborne platform, tactical radio,
radar, or munition; yet, the value,
or priority, of these characteristics
can vary signifcantly depending
on the application, explains Jason
Moore,director of aerospace and
defense applications engineering at
Xilinx Inc. in San Jose, Calif., which
specializes in feld-programmable
gate arrays (FPGAs).
Performanceincluding through-
put, interrupt latency, and cache size
and speedsis an important consid-
eration, as is the board support pack-
age (BSP) for real-time operating sys-
tems (RTOSs) and device drivers (e.g.,
a DO-178B RTOS for avionics applica-
tions), Moore says. Memory and I/O
interfaces, cost,
and anti-tamper
and physical se-
curity character-
istics should also
be considered.
It is im-
portant to
differentiate between dynamic pow-
er and static power when consid-
ering power consumption, Moore
adds. Dynamic power is a serious
consideration in high-performance
systems, such as large radar arrays,
where there are concerns with how
to get the heat out/cool the system.
Static power and sleep modes are
also critical in military communica-
tions, like tactical radios, where bat-
tery life is critical.
Maintaining the integrity of the
data, through the use of technology,
such as error-correcting code (ECC)
or processor lockstep operation,
throughout the processing subsys-
tem is important across many appli-
cations, such as avionics and military
communications, Moore advises.
COTS computing
Microprocessors for aerospace and
defense applications are following
the same vector as those used in the
broader commercial market, recog-
nizes Rod Rice, general manager of
Military & Aerospace Products at GE
Intelligent Platforms in Charlottes-
ville, Va. The proliferation of com-
mercial off-the-shelf (COTS) solutions
which leverage commercial technol-
ogies reduce cost and development
time, while increasing performance
and providing regular technology
insertion opportunities, long-term
support roadmaps, and overall low-
er cost of ownership, he says.
The impact of this can be clear-
ly seen in the offerings from compa-
nies like Intel, Rice says, recalling
that the second generation of In-
tel Core processors was announced
roughly one year ago. The next gen-
eration will be with us shortly with,
it is reported, a smaller die size and
an increased number of transistors

that will provide another uptick in
performance. These will be incorpo-
rated into mil-aero board level prod-
ucts in the coming months.
Mil-aero applications are in-
creasingly favoring multi-core mi-
croprocessors, allowing for greater
processing capacity, Rice adds. As
well as Intels multi-core offerings,
Freescalethe other signifcant mi-
croprocessor supplier to the mil-
aero marketprovides solutions,
such as the QoriQ P4080 with its
eight processors.
The ability to use several proces-
sors within one piece of silicon has
given rise to the growing adoption of
technologies that use massively par-
allel architectures, including graphics
processing unit (GPU) technology,
such as CUDA from Nvidia in Palo
Alto, Calif., Rice observes. General-
purpose computing using GPGPUs
(general-purpose GPUs) is enabling
signifcant performance increases in
mil-aero applications that can lever-
age that parallelism, such as radar, in
which increased throughput on the
order of 15X has been demonstrated
in comparison with more traditional
processor approaches, he says.
Another key requirement, given
the space constraints under which
many mil-aero programs are de-
ployed, is a higher degree of sili-
con integration that allows for ei-
ther smaller form factor (SFF) boards
or higher functional density on a
single board, Rice says. Integration
of graphics capability, for example,
within the processor is highly desir-
able; moreover, he adds, as mil-
aero applications become increas-
ingly graphics-intensive, focus is on
the quality of integrated graphics.
Increased imagery
Kevin Berce, defense manager at
Nvidia, is seeing a dramatic increase
in demand for Nvidia Tesla GPUs in
the defense market. Three applica-
tion areas, in particular, are grow-
ing the fastest: image processing, sig-
nal processing, and data analytics.
MotionDSP is a great example of the
beneft of GPU acceleration in the im-
age processing space, he says.
MotionDSPs Ikena ISR product

lution, and reduced noise, making

it well suited for real-time stream-
ing of high-quality video from un-
manned aerial vehicle (UAV) sen-
sors. By harnessing Nvidia Tesla
GPUs, the software can process 30
frames per second, with less than
300 milliseconds latency. Improved
image quality and streaming per-
formance enable the Department
of Defense to access more accurate
and actionable information quickly.
Each of these applications re-
quires signifcant processing pow-
er that cannot be achieved easily or
cost-effectively with CPU-only sys-
tems, Berce says. In some cases,
CPUs simply cannot provide enough
processing power to process the data
fast enough to deliver actionable in-
formation or intelligence. For exam-
ple, to process a single hour of UAV
video with Ikena ISR typically takes
four to six hours on a CPU-based
system; yet, a hybrid system com-
bining a CPU and GPU can process
the same hour of video in real time.
Due to the highly parallel archi-
tecture of GPUs, they can provide
an order of magnitude greater per-
formance than CPUs, and can easi-
ly accelerate applications to give the
military invaluable data immediate-
ly, Berce notes.
The benefts of GPUs go beyond
application acceleration, extending
to space, power, and cost savings.
GPUs allow government custom-
ers to save money on compute re-
sources, without compromising on
performance, Berce explains. Sol-
ers Inc., a provider of information
technology solutions to government
customers, was able to eliminate 20
blades (from 68 to 48) by adding six
GPUs to its Dell server. By introduc-
ing GPUs into its Dell system, Solers
reduced the footprint by 30 percent
and power consumption by 27 per-
cent, while delivering greater perfor-
mance by reducing processing laten-
cy by 25 percent, he says.
Nvidias GPUs are actively being
adopted in aerospace and defense
data centers as well as in electronics
systems on the battlefeld. Its Tes-
la brand GPUs are designed to meet
computational requirements in data
centers and high-performance com-
puting environments, as well as to
deliver performance increases for

computational fuid dynamics, video
processing, synthetic aperture radar
(SAR), and electromagnetics. GPUs
are being deployed by key comput-
er original equipment manufacturers
(OEMs) and partners offering embed-
ded solutions, such as GE Intelligent
Platforms and Curtiss-Wright.
Microprocessors, and GPUs spe-
cifcally, have a bright future in the
mil-aero arena, Berce adds. GPUs
will continue to improve the perfor-
mance per watt, outpacing the ad-
vantages of a CPU-only system. As a
result, GPUs will drive a new gener-
ation of applications that deliver
better, more accurate information
quickly with much higher fdelity.
Military vs. COTS
The requirements for aerospace
and defense microprocessors dif-
fer somewhat from their commer-
cial counterparts in key areas, says
Rice. The provision of a foating-
point processorAVX in Intels case,
and AltiVec from Freescaleis im-
portant for demanding digital signal
processing (DSP) applications.
As signifcant processing power
is increasingly deployed within en-
vironments that are highly space-
and power-constrained, low power
consumptionwith its associated
reduced cooling requirementis a
key characteristic. Many mil-aero

and while consuming less power.
The Anemone processor is a
paradigm changer on many fronts;
one of the most compelling is that

of the other way around, says Jeff

chief executive offcer.

applications have begun to focus
more on performance/watt rather
than pure performance, Rice adds.
The majority of mil-aero applica-
tions are deployed in harsh environ-
ments that are subject to shock, vi-
bration, moisture, dust, and so on,
Rice says. While this does not place
specifc requirements on the proces-
sor itself, it must be capable of being
integrated on a rugged board de-
signed to withstand the rigors of
military deployment.
The typical mil-aero program can
be deployed over years, and even de-
cades. This generates a requirement
for long-term availability of com-
ponents and long-term support for
those components, as well as a re-
quirement for form/ft/function-com-
patible upgrades over time to allow
for technology insertion, increasing
performance while maximizing long-
term cost of ownership, Rice contin-
ues. While performance and low
power consumption will always be
key considerations for prime con-
tractors and OEMs in choosing a sin-
gle-board computer, the guarantee
of long-term availability over an ex-
tended period is no less important.
Engineers at Harris Corp.s Gov-
ernment Communications Systems
Division (GCSD) in Melbourne, Fla.,
understand well the importance of
long-term support and the provision
directly into an FPGA. Anemone is
an implementation of the Epiphany
architecture from Adapteva, a start-
up company of which BittWare is an
investor. The scalable many core
processor has 16 eCores that run at
rates up to 1 gigahertz, providing a
total sustained performance of 32
GFLOPS while consuming two watts
of total power. The AN104 features
an internal, high-throughput, inter-
core mesh network, with separate
data paths for on-chip and off-chip
communications.
The modularity of BittWares Anemone

enables its use on any of the companys

of regular technology insertion op-
portunities. Harris offcials frst se-
lected GEs PPC7E single-board com-
puter in 1999 for the high-mobility
artillery rocket system (HIMARS),
the newest member of the multiple-
launch rocket system (MLRS) family.
More than a decade later, GE contin-
ues to provide the board.
GE Intelligent Platforms continues
to secure Harris orders for PPC7EP
single-board computers; the latest
in a series of orders placed by Harris
for the MLRS program over 12-plus
years is a roughly $3.5 million order
placed in Nov. 2011. Lockheed Mar-
tin engineers subcontracted Harris to
design and build the electronics for
the U.S. Armys MLRS M-270 HIMARS
platform. The PPC7EP executive pro-
cessor is a custom variant of GEs
PPC7D, a 6U VME single-board com-
puter featuring the 7448 PowerPC
processor. Three PPC7EPs, one with
a PMCGA4C graphics ac-
celerator card, are de-
ployed in each
vehicle and
provide com-
puting power to the
HIMARS subsystems.
MLRS/HIMARS is an outstand-
ing example of a long-term program
that relies on the continuing avail-
ability of critical components, the
extended support (such as obsoles-
cence management) necessary to
ensure success, and the opportuni-
ty for ongoing technology insertion,
says Al DiLibero, president of Mili-
tary & Aerospace Embedded Com-
puting at GE Intelligent Platforms.
Computational communications
Just as microprocessors beneft from
the power inherent in GPUs, they are
likewise aided in aerospace and de-
fense applications by robust feld-pro-
grammable gate arrays (FPGAs).
Xilinx integrated processors and
embedded processing solutions are
used in missiles and munitions, for
target tracking; military communi-
cations, for black-side modem opera-
tions and red-side key management
and user interface; and electron-
ic warfare/intelligence, surveillance,
and reconnaissance (EW/ISR), such
as radar algorithm processing.
Software-defned radio (SDR)
platforms classically consist of a gen-
eral-purpose processor (usually ARM)
and FPGA for user interface and
baseband signal processing respec-
tively, Moore says. Interest in Zynq
for SDR is not just about integrating
the classic SDR baseband functions
to reduce size and power, it is also
about increased system performance
and decreased development effort.
The Zynq ARM cores are tightly
coupled to peripherals (hardened I/O,
DDR, and logic) by the AMBA AXI-4
interconnect fabric, which also con-
nects the programmable logic (PL)
to all these subsystems, Moore ex-
plains. It is the AXI fabric that al-
lows high-throughput, low-latency,
standards-based interconnect of cus-
tom logic for modem, cryptographic,
and other hardware-in-the-loop logic
The GE Intelligent Platforms PPC7D is a 6U
VME single-board computer featuring the
7448 PowerPC processor.
Mercury Computer Systems has

OpenVPX HCD6210 rugged com-
pute blade based on the Freescale

tecture. The HCD6210 blade uses
two new Freescale T4240 proces-
sors and has a total of 24 cores/48
threads, each core with an Alti-
Vec single-instruction, multiple-
data (SIMD) engine for high-perfor-
mance signal processing support.
Systems based on the HCD6210
can scale from 1 to 16 boards,
enabling new levels of subsystem
performance in radar, electro-opti-
cal/infrared (EO/IR), and electronic
warfare (EW) applications, says a
representative.
With the enormous budget
pressures in the defense industry,
more and more prime contractors
are looking to upgrade existing
systems with minimal change and
cost. The HCD6210 compute blade
provides a six-fold increase in pro-
cessing capability while maintain-
ing software library compatibility,
explains Steve Patterson, vice pres-
ident of product management at
Mercury Computer Systems. With
its well-balanced computational
performance and I/O capability, the
performance is equally impressive
for small, single-slot OpenVPX sys-
tems as it is for the large, scaled-
up multi-board systems for which
Mercury is known.

to the ARM cores, hardened I/O, and
DDR. The advantage in lower devel-
opment time and faster throughput
over a separate ARM + FPGA devices
is substantial.
Moore considers Zynq a paradigm
shift for system on a chip (SoC) FPGA
technology. It allows higher levels of
integration with a processor-centric,
boot-frst point of view that can re-
duce the SWAP-C (size, weight, pow-
er, and cost) of the system it is em-
bedded in, he says. Consider that
the processing subsystem (PS) can
be used stand-alone with the FPGA
fabric completely powered off, if re-
quired. The processor is the mas-
ter and is used to confgure the PL.
When performance is needed, the PL
can be powered on and confgured or
reconfgured, either partially or fully,
during system operation to the user
application. The Zynq silicon plat-
form, combined with the capabilities
of AutoESL, Xilinxs High-Level Syn-
thesis technology, blurs the lines be-
tween hardware and software.
Airborne application
A broad range of aerospace and de-
fense applications and platforms re-
quire rugged microprocessors; this
is especially true of airborne and
land-based combat vehicles. Kon-
tron specializes in military environ-
ments that demand extreme rugged-
ization, says David OMara, product
manager at Kontron in Poway, Calif. .
The Apache helicopter employs
the companys COBALT with an on-
board 8-port GigE switch, as well as
an 80-gigabyte, solid-state drive and
a Kontron Core2Duo single-board
computer. COBALT is a small, light-
weight computing device based on
Kontrons COM Express single-board
computer offering fanless operation
and a Gigabit Ethernet interface.
Demand for optimized SWaP-C
products is also growing, along with
the UAV market. The need for small,
lightweight, fanless products will
drive the development of micro-
processors over the next several
decades, OMara predicts. Although
SWaP-C and product life cycle are
top priorities, numerous successes in
the feld are made possible by a solid
computer health management and
logistics support infrastructure.

innovations. All these low level fea-
tures, often hidden from the casual
observer, make the difference in the
end, OMara observes.
Safe in space
Space, among the harshest environ-
ments for electronics, requires rug-
ged, radiation-hardened processors.
BAE Systems has, since the 1990s,
been designing, building, and deliv-
ering radiation-hardened (rad-hard)
processors via its rad-hard foundry
in Manassas, Va., says Victor Scud-
eri, manager, Satellite Electronics,
BAE Systems. We develop the rad-
hard processor chips, then design
the single-board computer to use
these processors.
The frst-generation, single-board
computer was a rad-hard version of
a MIL-STD 1750 processor; followed
by the RAD6000, a rad-hard version
of an IBM RISC System 6000 proces-
sor. The current-generation RAD750,
a rad-hard version of an IBM Power-
PC 750 processor, is adopted for sat-
ellite single-board computers serv-
ing command and control functions
and onboard payload processing. The
Advanced Extremely High Frequency
satellite, a U.S. Department of De-
fense (DOD) secured communications
satellite, uses two RAD6000 com-
puters for satellite control and eight
RAD750 computers for the payload.
One of the most critical factors
for selecting a single-board computer
for a space mission is fight heritage
measured in the number of hours,
weeks, or years in space since the
launch, Scuderi says. Satellite prime
contractors demand fight heritage
demonstrated proof of the ability of
a product to withstand the rigors
of spacefor fve-year science mis-
sions or 15-year DOD/commercial
missions. There are currently 625
BAE Systems single-board comput-
ers used on 200+ satellites launched
since 1995. We track every hour each
of our computers has been in space.
The three generations of BAE Sys-
tems computers have amassed an
aggregate of 50,413,800 hours or
5,755 years in space.
Scuderi sees demand for very
high-performance satellite payload
processing solutions, the require-
ments of which also drive high-per-
formance I/O and network capabil-
ities. This new market will require
a collection of technology products,
such as high-density FPGAs, DSPs,
and multi-core, general-purpose pro-
cessors. High-density ASICs will still
be required to meet specialized func-
tions and address power constraints,
he says. For each of these technolo-
gy products, leveraging commercial
intellectual property and enhancing
it to meet the rigors of the space en-
vironment will continue to be a core
element of our approach to meeting
customer requirements.
Future functionality
The coming months, years, and de-
cades will bring new applications
and computing challenges requiring
increasingly robust, effcient, and
capable microprocessor technology.
Microprocessors will become
increasingly capablenot only de-
livering more throughput, but also
integrating increased functional-
ityallowing for the greater func-
tional density that will permit the
deployment of highly sophisticat-
ed, demanding applications in small-
er spaces, GEs Rice predicts. There
will continue to be focus on minimiz-
ing power consumption/heat dissipa-
tion. Multi-core processors will con-
tinue to gain market share, with the
number of processors per piece of sil-
icon increasing. The adoption of GPG-
PU technology will also continue.

Theres one thing all electronics
need, and thats power. Power sup-
plies and converters are important
parts of the system they inhabit,
and as such need to meet rigorous
standards lest the entire system shut
down for want, or excess, of power.
Systems integrators who are look-

converters need to weigh reliability,
weight, power, and cost carefully.
Military and avionics customers
are continually seeking smaller size,

Any questions?
board space, design cost,
and operation cost, says
Steve Butler, vice pres-
ident of engineering at
VPT Inc. in Blacksburg,
Va. Not only are pow-
er supplies being weighed against
those factors, but as a vital piece of
any system, they must be rugged
and reliable.
Military and avionics power
supplies also are held to high stan-
dards. Customers also continue
to demand a true military/avion-
ics-grade, or high-reliability pow-
er converter, Butler continues. Her-
meticity is vital for these types of
applications. Hermeticity prevents
air and gas from interfering with
the power supply and many high-
reliability applications, such as air-
craft, beneft from a system that is
unaffected by outside sources.
A technical shift is taking place
in power technology as systems de-
signers look more toward point of
load (POL) converters. These con-
verters, or POLs, output very low
voltages at very high effciencies,
Butler says. The POL offers a unique
solution for low voltages at high
currents and better performance
than isolated supplies with low out-
put voltages, as well as provides re-
duced power losses when compared
to linear regulators, even at low out-
put currents. In the past, multi-
ple isolated converters were used to
provide the benefts of POLs. These
small converters are now used in-
stead in order to reduce board size,
heat, weight, and cost.
Due to the ever-increasing power
These non-isolated, synchronous,
buck regulated converters step
down the voltage at the point of
end use. Image courtesy of VPT.

PRODUCT
demands made by perpetually
evolving digital processing applica-
tions, companies who make pow-
er supplies and converters are fnd-
ing more need for products that
allow for more current at low volt-
ages, such as the POL converters.
Customers have doubled or tripled
the processing power of their sys-
tems, says VPTs Butler. As in any
case with evolving technology, com-
panies are forced to keep up with
increasingly high standards. Con-
verters arent the only way to han-
dle the demand for higher currents,
however.
Parallel modules help systems
keep up with high power demands,
as Butler describes. It is important
to note that high-power systems can
be built from paralleled modules,
which offers several advantages.
This approach allows for N+1 redun-
dancy, where in the event of a mod-
ule failure, remaining modules will
continue to supply the load. A mod-
ular approach is also easily upgrad-
ed to higher power, simply by add-
ing more modules.
For systems that require maxi-
mum reliability, having paralleled
modules allows for a failure in one
module without shutting the sys-
tem down. For avionics or military
systems designers, the slight hit to
SWaP (size, weight, and power) is
often worth increasing the reliabili-
ty and capability of the system.
To drive down costs, standard-
ized power supplies have been be-
coming more popular. The big-
gest trend [in military and avionics
power applications] is away from
purely custom central power sup-
plies, moving toward either pow-
er supplies built from proven stan-
dard modules or toward distributed
systems where standard modules
are placed throughout the system
where they are needed, Butler says.
Such modular designs can often be
delivered with less engineering de-
velopment costs and in a shorter
timeframe.
Systems designers must consider
not only costs, but also delivery
times. Butler cites the continued
shrinking of design cycles as the
primary reason delivery time must
be kept to a minimum. The quick-
er a power supply is delivered, the
sooner tests can be done and the
product can be deployed.

SIMULATION
Northrop Grumman to provide
combat electromagnetic
environment simulator for
U.S. Air Force E-3 AWACS
Northrop Grumman Corp. won a
contract to provide a Combat
Electromagnetic Environment
Simulator (CEESIM) system to
support maintenance of the U.S.
Air Force E-3 Airborne Warn-
ing and Control System (AWACS)
Electronic Support Measures Op-
erational Computer Program soft-
ware. The Defense Microelectron-
ics Activity (DMEA) awarded the
contract. Northrop Grumman will
deliver the CEESIM to the Tin-
ker Air Force Base Avionics Inte-
gration Support Facility (AISF) in
Oklahoma City, Okla.
The CEESIM provides naviga-
tion and pulse data generated
from customized scenarios. It en-
ables ASIF software engineers to
model a real-world environment
and to test software changes by
injecting pulses into the avionics
hardware.
The AWACS CEESIM system
will replace an Advanced Multiple
Environment Simulator (AMES)
system that has been operating at
Tinker Air Force Base for 14 years.
The CEESIM replacement unit al-
lows automatic conversion of leg-
acy AMES emitter fles to CEESIM
emitter fles for reuse of AISF
threat data and test scenarios.
The simulator also demonstrates
the CEESIM versatility allowing
for direct stimulation using radio
frequency, intermediate frequen-
cy, and digital outputs.
SENSORS

be provided by Northrop Grumman and IntegenX
Biometrics identifcation experts at the Northrop Grumman Corp.
Information Systems segment in McLean, Va., and teammate IntegenX Inc.
in Pleasanton, Calif., will supply the IntegenX RapidHIT 200 Human DNA
Identifcation System to the U.S. Army Biometrics Identity Management
Agency in Washington as part of the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD)
Biometrics Operations and Support ServicesUnrestricted (BOSS-U)
contract.
The RapidHIT 200 automates how DOD
standardizes DNA profles from cheek swabs,
objects, and other human tissue samples. DOD
offcials use DNA profles from the RapidHIT 200
to match collected samples with existing DNA
records in domestic and international databases.
Local, federal, and international law enforcement
use this database to make arrests, protect
national borders, and analyze crime scene evidence.
Northrop Grumman produces the Automated Biometric Identifcation
System biometric repository for DOD, as well as the Biometric Identifcation
System for Access system for DOD base access control. Northrop Grumman
also provides the IDENT1 crime scene biometric repository system for the
United Kingdoms National Policing Improvement Agency.
The RapidHIT 200 is a self-contained, automated system for human
DNA identifcation, providing automatic sample to DNA profle processing
and evaluation in the feld. The sample-to-answer system can process as
many as eight samples, including controls, with short tandem repeat (STR)
analysis, in less than two hours for human identity testing. The system is
based on microfuidic chip prototyping.
Users load as many as eight samples in disposable cartridges. The
system extracts DNA from the samples and performs STR amplifcations,
electrophoretic separations, and software analysis to generate profles,
compatible with CODIS and international databases, in less than two hours,
company offcials say.

______________
last word
the
Dr. Jon Friedman at MathWorks dis-
cusses the importance of and provides
advice on using Model-Based Design.
Why adopt Model-Based Design?
Model-Based Design is a leading way
that aerospace companies are reduc-
ing their development time, while
maintaining or increasing the qual-
ity of their products. This model-
based approach helps engineers
explore design alternatives quickly
without the need for as much pro-
totype hardware, which often re-
quires a signifcant amount of time
to produce. Using models helps en-
gineers identify problems with their
requirements or designs early in the
development process when it is eas-
ier and quicker to fx them. To this
end, many companies have migrated
to Model-Based Design and saved on
the order of 20 percent to 60 percent
of development time.
In Model-Based Design, models
are used throughout the develop-
ment process and provide a common
platform for requirement analysis,
algorithm design, plant modeling,
code generation, and testing. Using
models, analysis and test are per-
formed early in the development
process, where errors cost less to fx
than later in the process.
What is the biggest challenge the
mil-aero community faces today?
One of the biggest challenges is liv-
ing with the complexity of modern
systems. Systems engineers used to
manage system complexity by estab-
lishing subsystems, identifying and
managing interfaces and cascading
system-level requirements to sub-
systems and components, and then
integrating at the end of the design
process. To meet timing, weight, and
cost tradeoffs, modern systems need
to be designed at the system level
rather than integrated at the end.
What advice do you offer?
Occasionally, when mil-aero orga-
nizations investigate Model-Based
Design, both managers and engineers
view the change as having the goal of
automating away jobs; in reality, the
opposite is true. Engineers shift their
focus from manual reviews and re-
work of designs to building models
that allow them to fnd and fx errors
where they are introduced. The au-
tomation of style checks, coding, and
test execution frees engineers to fo-
cus on being creative to meet cus-
tomer requirements.
Model-Based Design also supports
a culture of collaboration where en-
gineers across different teams and
with different academic backgrounds
use the same graphical program-
ming environment and talk in the
language of models. So, my advice is
to adopt Model-Based Design to sup-
port engineers in what they do well,
innovating and creating, and auto-
mate those tasks that are repetitive.
We are in a tough economic en-
vironment. To meet this challenge,
mil-aero companies want to increase
the effciency of their engineers.
One way to achieve lower cost is to
spend less time in development.
By moving simulation and analy-
sis to the beginning of the develop-
ment process, Model-Based Design
saves companies money by helping
engineers fnd errors early.
