WHITE SANDS MISSILE RANGE, N.M., 14 Feb. 2014. U.S. Army weapons test and evaluation experts are buying obsolescent field-programmable gate array (FPGA) processors to keep systems functioning at White Sands Missile Range, N.M., for as long as possible in today's tight defense budgets.

The Army Mission Installation and Contracting Command (MICC) at White Sands Missile Range announced plans earlier this month to buy 300 Xilinx Spartan IIE FPGAs from electronics distributor Avnet Corp. in Richardson, Texas. Xilinx introduced the Spartan II FPGA family in early 2000, and the technology is nearly 14 years old.

DENVER, 14 Feb. 2014. Software engineers at the Lockheed Martin Corp. Information Systems & Global Solutions segment in Denver are developing an open-systems software planner that integrates air operations and missile defense systems to enable Air Force experts to visualize and understand dynamic global situations.

MELVILLE, N.Y., 14 Feb. 2014. Comtech PST Corp. in Melville, N.Y., is introducing the model MC858109-600 gallium nitride (GaN) amplifier for X-band radar applications. The AB linear design operates over the 8.5-to-10 GHz frequency range.

THE MIL & AERO BLOG, 13 Feb. 2014. Well, there's good news and there's bad news. First the bad news: I'm stuck today due to the severe winter weather sweeping through the South and up the East Coast. The good news is we might be seeing something of an industry turnaround in the military electronics business, which has been on its back for months.

ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND, Md., 13 Feb. 2014. U.S. Army researchers are notifying industry to be ready for a formal solicitation later this month to develop a security system able to detect traces of explosives, poisons, or other chemical materials left behind from a person's hands.

YORBA LINDA, Calif., 13 Feb. 2014. Data communications specialist Sabtech in Yorba Linda, Calif., is introducing the Super Swift PCI Express processor board that can operate aboard Navy ships and submarines with Navy Tactical Data System (NTDS) data, or as a stand-alone computer or system co-processor.

SAN DIEGO, 12 Feb. 2014. Military communications experts at Data Link Solutions LLC in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, won a long-delayed contract Tuesday for a major data communications system upgrade that will enhance the ability of Navy surface warships to exchange text and imagery data with aircraft and ground forces.

REDSTONE ARSENAL, Ala., 12 Feb. 2014. U.S. Army aviation experts will brief industry early next month on upcoming contracting opportunities involved in moving the Army's aviation research closer to useful and deployable technologies.

JERUSALEM, Feb. 12 (UPI) -- Israel Aerospace Industries Ltd. debuted its Super Heron UAV at the 2014 Singapore Airshow.

IAI unveiled the medium-altitude long endurance (MALE) Super Heron UAV Tuesday, Globes business newspaper reported.

Under secret development for years, the MALE Super Heron UAV has a 55-foot wingspan, maximum payload weight of 992 lbs. and a takeoff weight of 3,200 lbs.

The MALE Super Heron UAV uses a 200-horsepower diesel engine and advanced motor that enables it to fly at more than 173 mph and gives it a faster rate of climb.

"The new UAV's improved engine gives it a somewhat bigger and heftier look than the other Herons," IAI Chief Executive Officer Joseph Weiss said.

"The Super Heron greatly expands the mission capabilities of UAVs," he said. "Its development reflects our continuous investment in UAVs and advanced technologies. We previously identified this sector as a key growth engine for the company."

Amid the hustle and bustle on the nine floors of the Virginia General Assembly building in Richmond, about 75 representatives from NASA and the aerospace industry spoke to every single member during a two-day awareness campaign called Aerospace Day 2014.

In small teams, they moved from office to office, expressing thanks and noting the impact of the aerospace industry in Virginia --$36.4 billion, 28,110 high-paying jobs, $57.5 million in state tax revenues and a highly skilled workforce.

"There's only one word we can use to describe the impact that Wallops and NASA have had, it's 'Wow.'" said Sen. John Cosgrove. "It's just amazing ... we're just so excited. We take pride for being in your corner and supporting you."

House Speaker William Howell spoke about being at the launch of STS-135 in 2011. Sitting by his side, astronaut Dottie Metcalf-Lindenburger shared that she was also there as a 'Cape Crusader,' preparing the shuttle for the crew.

Metcalf-Lindenburger also spoke with two Virginia classrooms through distance-learning sessions about her 2010 flight to the International Space Station on the space shuttle Discovery, and the "new forefront" that will be achieved through the first flight of the agency's Orion spacecraft this September.

Sen. Lynwood Lewis recalled taking his eight-year-old son to a launch this year at NASA's Wallops Flight Facility. After the launch, someone from NASA told his son: "Things here will never be the same." Lewis, a native of Virginia's Eastern Shore, responded: "I think he is right."

In Del. Rob Bell's office, Chris Carter said the organization for which he is deputy director - the Virginia Space Grant Consortium - has "touched every house and senate district."

Former Virginia Aerospace Science and Technology Scholars student and high school senior Alex Hsain, said she "genuinely hopes that programs like these will be offered to other students in the future."

In a later meeting, Del. Tom Rust expressed "no doubt" that NASA and the aerospace industry are an asset to the state.

Other conversations touched on making aircraft more efficient and safe, the development of space technologies to enable exploration beyond low Earth orbit and science missions that inform policy makers.
