COTS processing drives modern electronic warfare systems
"Cognitive EW represents a significant new step in EW... being able to create new responses on the fly."
-
No such thing as too much signal processing for radar & EW systems
Signal processing fuels radar and electronic warfare systems as each application has an unquenchable thirst for more and more bandwidth and performance that is more often than not met by FPGA-based VPX computing systems.
-
Embedded signal processing enables advanced radars and EW systems with low latency
Modern radar and electronic warfare designs rely heavily on embedded computing systems that leverage high-speed commercial processors and FPGAs to find every target or signal and enable the warfighter to respond in real time. Meanwhile, signal processing system designers are cutting costs by using parallel compute platforms such as OpenCL that work across multiple chip platforms.

Rad-hard requirements increase as space market slows
Radiation immunity and signal processing requirements are increasing for spacecraft and satellite electronic systems as designers look to add more capability for government and civilian applications. Meanwhile, the U.S. military and commercial markets for space electronics remain flat, thanks to the slow global economy and government budget cuts.
-
Radar, electronic warfare steadier parts of military market
With the impending U.S. military footprint reduction, radar and electronic warfare technology are increasingly important in providing ISR capabilities to the warfighter.
