KuRFS, is a precision 360-degree, multi-mission radar

Birds, Planes, Drones – KuRFS Radar Can Spot Them All

The Ku-band Radio Frequency System, KuRFS, is an advanced, adaptable, multi-mission radar made by Raytheon Missiles & Defense. It is the U.S. Army’s ‘go-to’ sensor to find all classes of unmanned aircraft systems.
“KuRFS is tailor-made for the counter-UAS mission, and no other radar in the world does…

The Ku-720 mobile sensing radar

The Ku band’s short wavelengths produce significantly sharper image resolution, optimal for picking small UAS out of a group of objects or clutter. It can even see and identify an incoming 9 mm bullet.
“KuRFS bolsters a layered defense by ensuring efficient and low-cost SHORAD operations,” Williams said…

First 3-axis quantum inertial sensor: an important step towards drift-free navigation systems

Exail, formerly iXblue, announced the demonstration of the first 3-axis quantum inertial sensor developed within the iXAtom joint laboratory, a research team shared with the LP2N lab1 in Bordeaux. Such an instrument allows to continuously track and measure the acceleration in three dimensions and within any…

To develop this sensor, the iXAtom team used atoms cooled to a few millionths of degrees in free fall within a vacuum chamber. These atoms form an inertial reference that is compared, by atomic interferometry, to the movement of three reference mirrors that define the three orthogonal directions of a triad of…
