Imaging Payloads, Stabilized PhaseTrack® Cable Assemblies For Phase/Temperature Performance The Times Microwave Systems Phase Critical Product Line includes the recently broadened range of PhaseTrack® cable assemblies employing Times' TF-4 dielectric, and SiO2 dielectric semi-rigid cable assemblies for use in extreme environments. The PhaseTrack® coaxial cables are now available in standard flexible, low smoke flexible, in-the-box flex, and semi-rigid versions. Exhibiting superior phase performance with temperature changes, they eliminate the common "phase knee" found in PTFE-based cables. All systems requiring phase stable or phase tracking interconnects will benefit from the performance offered by the Times PhaseTrack® products: ◆ Eliminates PTFE "phase knee" ◆ Superior absolute phase performance, with tracking better than 50 ppm ◆ Low Insertion Loss and VSWR characteristics ◆ Flexible and semi-rigid versions SiO2 dielectric semi-rigid cable assemblies provide the ultimate in phase tracking performance and support applications with extreme temperature and environmental exposure requirements. Times Microwave Systems Stabilized Imaging Systems For Small, Tactical UAVs — 11EO/IR HoodTech's newest stabilized imaging payload for critical unmanned flight missions on small tactical UAVs is a compact (only 5,700 gram), 4-axis gyro-stabilized imaging system featuring the most advanced sensor and video processing technology with multiple imaging and tracking modes. The payload includes continuous zoom EO and MWIR imaging sensors in a sealed panover-tilt payload enclosure. The system includes an eyesafe laser rangefinder and NVG-compatible laser pointer. All HoodTech turrets are designed to deliver the highest ISR value per unit mass, volume, and power. On-board vision processors offer users proven target tracking, multiple moving target detection, and advanced image and payload processing functions. The Alticam 11 EO/IR1 has been military qualified for use on a key US Navy UAS program. HoodTech has unsurpassed experience in stabilized imaging platforms, delivering over 4,000 payloads, and logging more than 700,000 combat flight hours.

Our Firstcut CNC Machining and Protomold Injection Molding services utilize proprietary computing technologies and automated manufacturing systems to provide both prototype and short-run production parts. Proto Labs has radically changed the economics and lead times associated with obtaining prototype parts. We routinely ship parts to design engineers before they even get quotes from conventional suppliers, sometimes as fast as the next business day. We can do this because we have automated the manual processes normally associated with mold design and toolpath generation through the use of proprietary software running on a computer cluster. Our ProtoQuote® and FirstQuote® systems are interactive and provide free manufacturability analysis based on the 3D CAD information provided by the customer. And we do all of this in-house, with the scale that is required to support the largest projects. Corry Micronics specializes in the design and manufacture of RF components and microwave filters. Designs are shock and vibration resistant and are industrial temperature rated. Corry Micronics has extensive experience designing and manufacturing custom filtered connectors that are ruggedized for the harshest environmental specifications. At CMI we have developed RF, microwave, and filtered products for land, sea, and airborne applications.
