Microwave industry outlook - defense applications

Microwaves will play a vital role in future defense systems. They will enable the integration and interdependent operation of military ground, surface, air, missile, and space-based radar and communication systems for enhanced overall defense effectiveness. Microwave component, subsystem, and systems engineers will rind new challenges in meeting the requirements for extremely high data rates and very low cost that are critical to the development of these systems of systems. The need for multidisciplined microwave engineers will provide new opportunities in the future.
