The defense electronics market in the United States continues to focus on enhancing, modernizing, and upgrading existing systems while at the same time developing new technologies.

NEWTOWN, Conn. (PRWEB)
March 02, 2020

Computer and information technology advancements have propelled C5ISR to the top of the U.S.’s defense electronics market. Forecast International projects that this market will be worth at least $171.2 billion from 2020-2029.

“The defense electronics market in the United States continues to focus on enhancing, modernizing, and upgrading existing systems while at the same time developing new technologies,” said Richard Sterk, Senior Analyst and editor of Forecast International’s yearly analysis ‘The Market for U.S. Defense Electronics.’ Sterk further said that, “Integrating multimission systems and applications through networking into real-time operations remains a priority of the C5ISR – command, control, communications, computers, combat systems, and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance – industry. Examples of technology that achieve this end include network battle command and logistics systems, networked precision missiles and gun-launched munitions, improved intelligence sensors, and active and passive protection systems. These technologies, in turn, have created additional submarkets such as cyber warfare, cybersecurity, and surveillance/reconnaissance radars.”

Forecast International’s projections are the result of a review and analysis of 564 leading defense electronics programs. The top defense electronics companies in the U.S. market continue to draw from the upper echelons of corporate America. The analysis projects that the top five U.S. defense electronics companies over the next 10 years in terms of market value will be Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon, L3Harris, and BAE Systems.

“Meeting the challenges of the cyber warfare threat will lead to lucrative opportunities for the development of both offensive and defensive systems,” said Sterk. “Due to the extensive use of networks and software, the U.S. faces an evolving array of cyber-based threats. These threats can be intentional or unintentional. Unintentional threats can result from software upgrades or defective equipment that inadvertently disrupt systems. Intentional threats are targeted attacks, originating from a number of sources.”

The following systems, products, and programs are projected to lead the market in sales over the 10-year forecast period: the APG-81 AESA radar for F-35 aircraft; the ICNIA (Integrated Communications, Navigation, Identification, Avionics) system that will integrate aircraft avionics for the F-22 and the F-35; the APG-68 pulse-Doppler fire control radar for the F-16; the AAQ-33 Sniper Advanced Targeting Pod; the ALQ-210 situational awareness and threat warning system; the SPY-6 Air and Missile Defense Radar (AMDR) to be installed aboard aircraft carriers and destroyers; the AQS-20 minehunting sonar and AQS-22 ALFS (Airborne Low Frequency Sonar) naval systems; the Navy Multi-band Terminal C4I system; the PRC-150 and PRC-152 combat radios; and the VAS-5 Driver’s Vision Enhancer for land vehicles.

There’s tremendous value in being physically and mentally present, but technology doesn’t always make it easy. Prompt removes the distractions, but keeps me on schedule.

SAINT PAUL, Minn. (PRWEB)
February 25, 2020

Prompt, the eyes-free timepiece from Two Ninety Four LLC launches today on Kickstarter to help people remain present and prompt without staring at their wrists. Taking a minimalist approach, Prompt doesn’t have hands to tell time and eliminates the modern distractions associated with smartphones and smartwatches.

This Anti-Watch provides an approximate time via haptic vibrations. These show the wearer what quarter hour it is. If a more precise time is needed, LED lights will indicate the time to the minute. It’s not a fitness tracker, music player or notifyer of anything other than the time itself.

“Prompt was created after I realized how rude I appeared when checking my smartwatch during meetings or time spent with others,” said David Prince, co-creator of Prompt. “There’s tremendous value in being physically and mentally present, but technology doesn’t always make it easy. Prompt removes the distractions, but keeps me on schedule.”

A modern-day timepiece, Prompt was designed to simply relay the time when triggered by the wearer. One vibration indicates the time is within the first 15 minutes of the hour. Two vibrations means the time is between quarter and half-past the hour, and so on. To display the time, accurate to within the minute, hold a firm touch to the sensor on the face of the watch to activate the LED perimeter. Prompt does require the wearer to know what hour it is, but provides the minute. No more resetting watches backward or forward for travelers who cross time zones as Prompt is time zone agnostic.

For those who wish to keep their wrists free of watches or watch-like displays, Prompt’s bezel is easily removed from a wristband and can be checked without ever removing it from a pocket. Prompt’s bezel is created from stainless steel and glass with rounded edges for comfort, durability and style.

Prompt is 42mm in diameter and 8.4mm thick. It weighs 36 grams and is available with a stainless steel bezel and wristband. Starting at $159, Prompt is available to pre-order at pr.go2fund/prompt.

About Two Ninety Four LLC

Two Ninety Four LLC is an innovator of tech products. Focusing on the intersection between technology’s benefits and the joys of remaining present in the moment at hand, Two Ninety Four creates products to help people stay present. For more information, visit https://producthype.co/prompt/.

Steinberg UR24C audio interface

“With its build quality, first-class components and 32-bit/192 kHz resolution, the whole UR-C range of interfaces sets a very high standard,” said Steinberg’s Senior Marketing Manager, Stefan Schreiber.

HAMBURG, Germany (PRWEB)
February 27, 2020

Steinberg today announced the immediate availability of its new audio interface: the UR24C. It is the latest of an entire line-up of UR-C USB 3.0 interfaces that are designed for musicians, producers and performers.

As with each UR-C interface, the UR24C provides USB Type-C (USB 3.1 Gen 1 SuperSpeed) connectivity to ensure universal compatibility with both PCs and Mac computers, as well as iOS devices. It features 32-bit/192 kHz audio resolution, MIDI and delivers DSP power for using effects when monitoring audio without latency. Alongside the dspMixFx mixer that accesses the DSP effects — REV-X reverb, Channel Strip and Guitar Amp Classics — the UR24C comes with a comprehensive software bundle: the Cubase AI music production software, the Basic FX Suite consisting of effects and sound processing tools, native versions of the DSP effects (both VST 3 and AU compatible) and the Cubasis LE music production app for the iPad.

The UR24C features two balanced Neutrik combo inputs, high-grade D-PRE microphone preamps, two TRS main outputs, four RCA line outputs, and MIDI in and out. Its specialty lies in the switchable monitor modes for headphones: DAW mode is used for producing music with a DAW, such as Cubase or Nuendo, where the signal from output 1 or output 2 is chosen as the headphone source while allowing the user to adjust the balance of the signals from the DAW and from the UR24C’s inputs; DJ mode is expected to be used for performances with DJ software and backing tracks where the signal is split so the mono master sound is output to the right side of the headphones and the mono cue sound to the left, also letting the user adjust the balance of both signals.

Steinberg’s Senior Marketing Manager, Stefan Schreiber, commented: “With its build quality, first-class components and 32-bit/192 kHz resolution, the whole UR-C range of interfaces sets a very high standard. The UR24C includes all these competitive advantages, but also comes with a unique and flexible concept of monitoring that works both in the studio and on stage.”

Availability and pricing

The UR24C audio interface will be available in the first quarter of this year through the Steinberg Online Shop and from resellers. Availability may vary by region. The suggested retail price is US $319.00.

Radiant Hosts Live Webinar on Principles of Light and Color Measurement for Product Design and Quality Control

The sciences of photometry and colorimetry describe standards for measuring human visual perception of light, which are designed into measurement technology to capture and weight the visible wavelengths of light the same way the cones in our eyes do.

REDMOND, Wash. (PRWEB)
February 27, 2020

Radiant Vision Systems, a leading provider of test and measurement solutions for lighting and displays, announces that it will host a live rebroadcast of its popular educational webinar presenting the background, principles, and applications of light and color measurement methods that simulate human visual perception. The webinar, titled “Principles of Light and Color Measurement,” will be broadcast live on Tuesday, March 10, 2020, from 9 to 10 A.M. PDT (12 to 1 P.M. EDT). The broadcast includes a technical presentation by Radiant Product Manager, Shannon Roberts, followed by a live audience question and answer session.

“Light sources, displays, and illuminated components are all designed with human vision in mind,” says Roberts. “Measurement systems used to control the visual quality of these products should therefore take human vision into account. The sciences of photometry and colorimetry describe standards for measuring human visual perception of light, which are designed into measurement technology to capture and weight the visible wavelengths of light the same way the cones in our eyes do. These photometric systems measure values of light in a mathematical context, allowing manufacturers to set objective design parameters and targets for quality. In other words, photometric measurement systems allow us to determine what a human would say looks like a good or bad quality product, and more precisely measure a range of acceptable tolerances, enabling effective automated visual inspection.”

During the webinar, Roberts will describe how human vision has guided the development of photometric and colorimetric measurement principles. She will present the properties of light, how they stimulate the human eye, and automated technology used to replicate this process for design and quality control of illuminated devices. She will also describe how color values are determined by standard CIE color-matching functions (how to calculate tristimulus values), which can be used in colorimetric applications. Roberts has a thorough knowledge of light and color measurement based on imaging colorimeters, and her understanding of light theory has guided customers in defining technical parameters for display and illuminated component inspection in industries from consumer electronics to automotive.
