We’re excited to announce the launch of “From Sky to Spectrum: A Look at Drone & Defense Tech Ahead”, a free eBook exploring the innovations shaping the future of UAVs, C-UAS, radar, and electronic warfare systems.
Co-sponsored by Qorvo and RFMW, this eBook dives into the technologies driving growth in the global defense drone market, a market projected to reach $45B by 2030. Topics include phased-array radar, X-band systems, aerogel antennas, SSPAs, and more.
The first article provides an overview of the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) market, including the projected market growth in the 2020s and the benefits of UAVs in reducing costs and casualties. The second and third articles address the defense side of the market, providing a history and update on emerging technologies for drone detection and counter-unmanned aircraft systems (C-UAS). The fourth and fifth articles take a deeper technical dive, focusing on the range and size benefits of using phased-array and X-Band radars and addressing the underlying circuitry. The sixth article changes the focus to materials and introduces a new aerogel antenna. The lightweight, embeddable material improves aerodynamics and enables a higher payload. Finally, the seventh article explores solid-state power amplifiers, including their packaging and impact on electronic warfare and radar systems. This eBook covers a wide range of topics related to drones and defense technologies.
