BAE won DARPA contract

BAE will develop mixed-signal technology to reduce the size, weight, and power consumption of military electronic systems while increasing performance. “Based on our current advances, I foresee a viable mixed-signal electronic/photonic application in less than five years," said Dr. Mike Grove, BAE Systems' EPIC program manager. “By incorporating selected photonic components into the complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) process, we are achieving chip performance levels researchers have sought for years," he said.
