8-Port Gigabit Network Switch
Curtiss-Wright's Defense Solutions Division (Ashburn, VA) today introduced
the industry's first rugged airborne Gigabit network switch designed
specifically to meet the unique demands of flight test applications. The
new NSW-8GT-TGE-1 is a rugged 8-port non-blocking Gigabit Ethernet
switch that provides full IRIG-106 Chapter 21-28 Telemetry Network Standard
(TmNS) compliance, including MDL programming. TmNS provides a
powerful new tool for the flight test telemetry industry.

Phased Array Antenna Control and Calibration
Keysight Technologies, Inc. (Santa Rosa, CA) introduces the new
Phased Array Antenna Control and Calibration solution, a breakthrough
over-the-air (OTA) calibration and characterization solution
that enables satellite designers developing active electronically
scanned arrays for satellite communications applications to rapidly
test their designs during early validation. Modern satellite networks
operate at higher frequencies and use active phased array antenna systems which are driving ubiquitous
connectivity and sensing requirements of next-generation satellite communication.

Hypersonic Sapphire Windows
Custom fabricated sapphire windows that are ideally suited for protecting
sensitive vison systems and sensors in hypersonic aircraft and weapon systems
have been introduced by Meller Optics, Inc. (Providence, RI). Meller Flat Sapphire
Windows feature Mohs 9 hardness, which is second only to diamond,
and can withstand temps. up to 1,000 ºC, pressures to 10,000 psi, and are
chemically inert, impervious to water, and extremely abrasion resistant.
Ideal for protecting vison systems and sensors in hypersonic aircraft and
weapon systems, these windows transmit from the UV to IR.

EPOXY FOR
PROPER
MIXING
Master Bond EP51CC
is a two component,
fast setting epoxy with a color coding system where
Part A is white and Part B is black. The two parts
combine into a uniform gray color paste, which indicates
proper mixing. This fast curing, non-drip compound
is ideal for bonding and sealing applications
with a forgiving mix ratio. https://www.masterbond.
