Electronic Defence is working on technologies to minimize magnetic signatures in order to remain imperceptible to magnetic influence mines or magnetic sensors on maritime patrol vessels, frigates or drones, which is one of the most important ways for a submarine to stay covert.
For equipment designers, this translates into electronics capable of secured wired and wireless communications, low power signal image processing and anti-tamper features. Supply chain trust is equally important, with uniquely identifiable devices underpinning true embedded system security.
The need for a trusted, reliable and cyber-secure supply chain is even more important now as the global semiconductor consolidation continues to create intellectual property rights and manufacturing uncertainty in the market.
Our defense science and technology investment enables us to counter military threats and to overcome any advantages that adversaries may seek. It also expands the military options available to policymakers, including options other than warfare in pursuing the objectives of promoting stability and preventing conflict.
