An additional thematic element towards “capitalizing across the spectrum” is a collection of innovations around aerospace and security. There are a multitude of RF and wireless technologies within aerospace applications, including commercial aircraft, satellite systems and GPS navigation and remote sensing. Security applications include control and monitoring of the electromagnetic spectrum (EMSO), jamming, secure communications, search and tracking AESA radars, and additional forms of signal intelligence.
In Washington DC, you will be introduced to the latest innovations and concepts related to aerospace, from RF to THz applications. The wireless technologies we help develop, become the answer to keeping connected conveniences in our mobile world. In mission critical environments, similar technological advancements help protect, whether it be from the advancement of drone swarms, detection and targeting of aerial targets, and higher accuracy in the operational environment.
Additionally, the Washington DC region is home to many high technology companies, major aerospace and defense firms, government science & technology agencies, and national laboratories, including the U.S. Army and Navy Research Labs. RTX, Northrop Grumman, Boeing, and Lockheed Martin are also headquartered here. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Defense Sciences Office (DSO) is conveniently located in neighboring Arlington, VA.
