ELECTRONICS AND ELECTRONIC DEVICES

Abstract

This program element (PE) is applied research on technologies in areas such as electronic components, power components, frequency control and timing devices, high power microwave devices, and display technologies. The applied research on these technologies will enable the ability to perform precision deep fires against critical mobile and fixed targets; investigate exceptional all-weather, day or night, theater air defense against advanced enemy missiles and aircraft; as well as investigate enhanced communications and target acquisition through support of capabilities such as autonomous missile systems, advanced land combat vehicles, smart anti-tank munitions, electric weapons, secure jam-resistant communications, automatic target recognition, foliage-penetrating radar, and combat identification. This PE sustains applied research on high-power, microwave, electronic components and technologies (project EM8), advanced portable power technologies (batteries, fuel cells, hybrids, engines, chargers, and power management) (project H11), applied research on flexible displays in conjunction with the Flexible Display Center (project H17), and applied research on electronic component technologies such as photonics, micro electromechanical systems (MEMS), imaging laser radar, magnetic materials, ferroelectrics, microwave and millimeter-wave components, and electromechanical systems (project H94). Work in this PE complements and is fully coordinated with efforts in PE 0602120A (Sensors and Electronic Survivability), PE 0602782A (Command, Control, Communications Technology), PE 0602709A (Night Vision Technology), PE 0602783A (Computer and Software Technology), PE 0603001A (Warfighter Advanced Technology), and PE 0603772A (Advanced Tactical Computer Science and Sensor Technology). Projects EM4, EM6 and EM7 fund congressional special interest items. The cited work is consistent with the Director, Defense Research and Engineering Strategic Plan, the Army Modernization Strategy, and the Army Science and Technology Master Plan. Work is performed by the Army Research Laboratory, Adelphi, MD, and the Army Communications-Electronics Research, Development, and Engineering Center, Fort Monmouth NJ and Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD.
