Australia looks towards space with force restructure, investment and training
Australia is looking to improve its presence in space with a focus on communications and creating a dedicated segment of its defence forces committed to the domain.
Visitors to this year’s Farnborough Airshow will be able to see the latest microwave power modules from TMD Technologies, on the A|D|S stand B15 in Hall 1.
Particularly applicable for avionics applications, these MPMs have the advantages of being ultra compact and lightweight, as well as providing high efficiency and reliability.
The pulsed and CW "drop-in" amplifier blocks are fully integrated, making installation safe and simple. They are particularly suitable for radar, EW and communications applications.
In the ATC radar field, TMD will be highlighting its innovative PTX7602 S-band transmitter. This complete S band transmitter is suitable for commercial or military air traffic control radar and offers enhanced features and user benefits.
At the heart of the transmitter is the company’s PT6055 S band TWT (travelling wave tube) which, combining high efficiency, reliability and long life, has proved an outstanding success in Watchman radars worldwide. It offers predictable managed power with reliable through life support and reduced total life cycle costs when compared with solid state alternatives.
Other applications for TMD’s microwave products include ECM and towed decoys for electronic warfare, satellite communications links, simulation and training, as well as EMC testing, high power component testing and scientific research.

The Portuguese company’s naval communications system is in service across more than a dozen countries. It has turned to its home nation for support in developing a new vehicle based C2 system.
The Vision4ce Deep Embedded Feature Tracking (DEFT) technology software is designed to process video and images by blending traditional computer vision with artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms to present actionable information from complex environments.
Persistent Systems has been cleared by National Security Agency (NSA) to transmit sensitive data on commercial networks. The devices are added to the NSA’s Commercial Solutions for Classified (CSfC) component list which also includes other companies’ products providing the same security.
The release of the UK’s Strategic Defence Review (SDR) has been long promised as mid-year. It is possible it could be as early as 2 June although the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) continues to play its cards close to its chest.
Intelsat outlines how its multi-orbit SATCOM architecture is enhancing connectivity and resilience for special operations forces operating in degraded and contested environments.
