SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. Our five most popular McHale Report podcasts for 2020 hosted by editors John McHale and Emma Helfrich featured guests from National Instruments, Liteye Systems, Pentek, and two guests from Mercury Systems on topics such as artificial intelligence for electronic warfare, the end of Moore's Law, the defense industry's response to COVID-19, counter-UAV advancements, and the Sensor Open Systems Architecture (SOSA) Consortium. Check them out below.

UPPER SADDLE RIVER, NJ─ Pentek, Inc. today announced extensions to their proven Quartz® RFSoC product family by introducing the QuartzXM eXpress Module, the Model 6003, adding greater RF performance and scalability. The QuartzXM Model 6003, based on the Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ RFSoC Gen 3, provides full sub-6 GHz direct-RF I/O support and greater flexibility with more decimation and interpolation options. The QuartzXM Model 6003 is ideal for 5G and LTE wireless, SIGINT, EW, communications and radar applications in SWaP-critical environments.

Aegis Power Systems, Inc. announces the new VPX1PH3UC310-SA, a single-phase 85-264Vac input to 28Vdc output power supply module with 310 watts and EMI filtering. This rugged slide-in power supply has been developed in alignment with the Sensor Open Systems Architecture (SOSA) technical standard for use in interoperable systems for sensor management.

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. Abaco Systems, Inc. has announced the SWE440S, an upgrade which builds on the capability of the SWE440A. This fully managed Ethernet switch is designed to align with the SOSA Technical Standard and provide greater interoperability and integration with SBCs, FPGAs, and Ethernet switches while providing cost reduction for customers.

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. Abaco Systems announced that it has won orders from a major U.S. prime contractor to deploy the company's single board computer and avionics solutions as part of a next-generation, Sensor Open Systems Architecture (SOSA)-aligned, 3U VPX embedded computer system for advanced electronic warfare (EW), signals intelligence (SIGINT), and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) applications.
