Gallium Nitride Underpinning Future Radar, Electronic Warfare and Communications

Boston, MA - July 23, 2012 - Military applications will continue to grow and drive the fundamental development of semiconductor technologies such as gallium nitride (GaN). This was highlighted with product announcements during the recent IMS 2012 conference, as reviewed in the Strategy Analytics Advanced Defense Systems (ADS) service report, "Defense Electronics Industry Review: June 2012." The report also details significant defense industry news, including product announcements, milestones, contract activity and defense industry financial performance.

Strategy Analytics sponsored a breakfast session in conjunction with Microwave Journal during IMS 2012, with participation from Cree, Nitronex, NXP, RFMD, TriQuint and UMS. The presentations confirmed the applicability of GaN to communications, electronic warfare, and radar needs.

"Panelists highlighted examples where GaN technology will improve performance, efficiency and bandwidth as the military invests in next generation systems," noted Eric Higham, ADS Service Director North America.

Other product announcements made at the IMS 2012 show included Toshiba's new X-band GaN hybrid IC (HIC) targeted at transmit-receive modules (TRMs) used in active electronically scanned array (AESA) and passive electronically scanned array (PESA) radar applications.

"Semiconductor technologies also underpinned military system level activity in June," noted Asif Anwar, Director of the ADS service at Strategy Analytics. "Boeing and Raytheon received contracts related to AN/APG-79 AESA radar upgrades, while Northrop Grumman demonstrated the capabilities of the company's AN/AAQ-37 distributed aperture system (DAS) and AN/APG-81 AESA radar, both featured on the F-35."

The Eurosatory 2012 conference, in Paris, also took place in June, where defense companies to showcased new products and capabilities across communications, electronic warfare and radar with a focus on land and air domains.
