Lockheed Martin looks to pooling and optical I/O

Electronic systems must peer into ever-greater swathes of the electromagnetic spectrum to ensure a battlefield edge.

Michael HoffSuch electronic systems are used in ground, air, and sea vehicles and even in space.

The designs combine sensors and electronic circuitry for tasks such as radar, electronic warfare, communications and targeting.

Existing systems are custom designs undertaking particular tasks. The challenge facing military equipment makers is that enhancing such systems is becoming prohibitively expensive.

One proposed cost-saving approach is to develop generic radio frequency (RF) and sensor technology that can address multiple tasks.
