Bittium is part of Operational Capability 1 (OC1) phase that continues the ESSOR (European Secure Software defined Radio) programme. During the OC1 phase, the operational capabilities of ESSOR High Data Rate Waveform (HDR WF), meant for joint operations between defence forces of different countries, will be enhanced.

Over 25 members of the Women’s Engineering Society (WES) Young Members’ Board (YMB) will be bringing a Lottie Doll to work next week, as part a ‘Lottie Tour’ organised for Tomorrow’s Engineers Week taking place 6th-10th of November. During the week they will be posting photos on Twitter and Instagram of Lottie doing everyday engineering work.

A group of Brazilian astronomers observed a pair of celestial objects rarely seen in the Milky Way: a very low-mass white dwarf and a brown dwarf.A white dwarf is the endpoint of the evolution of an intermediate- or low-mass star, with a mass between 0.5 and 8 times that of our Sun. A brown dwarf is a substellar object with mass intermediate between those of a star and a planet.

Intersil has announced the first three members of its new family of radiation-tolerant plastic-package ICs designed to support the emerging field of small satellites that will provide solutions such as high speed Internet connections to hundreds of millions of users in communities, governments, and businesses worldwide.

The 6-telescope beam combination instrument developed by the University of Exeter (UK) and the University of Michigan (USA),MIRC-X, together with C-RED One, the low noise infrared camera from First Light Imaging, are opening new perspectives in infrared interferometry for astronomy.The MIRC-X imager is now looking at the sky on the CHARA telescope array, which is supposedly the world’s highestresolution imaging facility in infrared light, l...

The „Leonardo da Vinci Center for Bionics” was established over a decade ago at the Technical University of Munich (TUM). Since then, the cross-faculty research platform has been promoting the technical development and design of operating principles that nature itself concocted in the evolutionary process: The creative potential in the „Test Laboratory of Nature” is translated into technical solutions.

Improving the design of drills capable of excavating deep holes should increase their performance and longevity. Scientists from A*STAR develop a computational model that can determine the ideal drill design, achieving significant savings.In designing a drill, a crucial consideration is the effective removal of material, known as chips. A standard drill bit, the part of the drill that excavates the hole, removes chips by having a spiral shape tha...

There is the £100,000 oscilloscope wedged in front of a door or how about the cupboard containing 20 instrument modules which virtually plead “use me” when the door is opened. Just a couple of the anecdotal evidence examples Microlease has collected on how companies misuse or lose track of their assets. And the test equipment sourcing specialist has concrete research to prove the point.

Long range coastal and border surveillance has been enhanced by the launch of Sigma LEO by Chess Dynamics at DSEI on stand S8-140. Sigma LEO has been optimised for remote detection, identification and image/video capture in all types of border and coastal surveillance locations.

Last week’s DSEI show at London’s ExCel saw Secretary of State for Defence, Michael Fallon deliver the keynote speech on what is, traditionally, the busiest day of the exhibition.
