Teen solves centuries-old math problem
STARKVILLE, Miss., Feb. 4 (UPI) -- The U.S. Air Force has contracted Camgian Microsystems Corp. of Mississippi to develop a new ultra-low power RF transceiver.
The contract from the Air Force Research Laboratory is a Phase III Small Business Innovation Research vehicle. It carries a three-year term and is valued at $9.2 million.
This SBIR project will develop two revolutionary, ultra low-power Application Specific Integrated Circuits to provide significant power savings for a range of military electronic sensor systems, such as radars and infrared cameras.
The RF transceiver ASIC will integrate Camgian's low-power radar architecture with intellectual property from AFRL on radar-on-a-chip technology.
"The goal of this program is to radically improve the operational endurance of key ground and airborne ISR sensor assets while increasing both sensor performance and on-board digital signal processing capabilities," said Gary Butler, president and chief executive officer Camgian Microsystems.
"With this new chip set, we are aiming to drive down the size, weight, power and cost of the systems while providing an ultra-energy efficient sensor and signal processing platform."
