Pacific Defense has developed a multi-function electronic warfare (EW) and signals intelligence (SIGINT) mission system designed for use in contested electromagnetic environments. The EWS1090VP is part of the company’s SABER family of mission systems and is developed using a Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA). The system aligns with U.S. Army CMOSS, SOSA™, and OpenVPX™ standards and is built on the legacy SX-1000 platform using commercial off-the-shelf components.

NASA’s Tandem Reconnection and Cusp Electrodynamics Reconnaissance Satellites or TRACERS made it safely into low-Earth orbit. Led by David Miles at the University of Iowa and managed by Southwest Research Institute, the mission will study magnetic reconnection to understand how the phenomena can impact communications satellites, GPS systems, and power grids on Earth. https://lnkd.in/g5T7nfZv
