NATO employs MUSCLE Memory to Find Mines
Underwater vehicles communicate, make decisions, and work as a teamThe NATO Center for Maritime Research and Experimentation (CMRE) in La Spezia, Italy, is combining smarts and muscle to solve a complex warfighting challenge: finding and destroying mines in the murky waters of the littoral.CMRE has developed experimental unmanned vehicles for experimentation.

JRC Debuts New Radar Series
JRC introduced the JMA-5300 series radars; the first of a new line of high performance radars built around a new proprietary JRC ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) architecture. These new systems use processors that are specifically designed to enable parallel processing using multiple ASIC’s for lightning fast operation of every feature. The JMA-5300 series will be available in five power outputs; 10kW, 25kW, 50kW X-Band plus 30kW and 60kW S-band, with antenna arrays of 6ft, 7ft or 9ft for X-Band and 8ft or 12ft for S-Band. Complimenting the available choices in output power, the JMA-5300 series has a long list of options that allows these systems to be configured to meet the exact needs of every application.
