Abstract:
Military and Government personnel are accustomed to Technology gap briefings, describing the needs for the warfighter. A less frequent discussion is on the Technology gap that the industry is facing to meet the CONOPs of the DoD. This talk will present some of the DoD’s desired technologies and the technological challenges that the industry faces in solving them. The talk will focus on Radar technologies.
