Bring your talent and skills to the following IDS group:


Electrical Design Directorate (EDD):

EDD provides engineering design, integration and production to core radar and combat system competencies (process and control, integration and test, power systems, receivers and exciters, antennas and microwave subassemblies).

EDD has responsibility for the following areas:

  • Phased Array Radar design – RF/microwave antenna design

  • Power and Electronic systems design

  • Receiver & Exciter Design - REX System Analysis, Exciter Design, Receiver Design,

  • Low Noise Sources, Simulation and Modeling, Metrology, Integration and Test

  • Mixed Signal Design - Receiver A/D Converters, Direct Digital Converters, Receiver D/A

  • Converters, Digital Waveform Generators, Mixed Signal CCAs, Mixed Signal Modules and Subsystems

  • Digital Hardware - Subsystem/Module Digital Circuits, FPGA/ASICs, Beam Steering, Mixed Process/Photonics/Sensors, COTS systems, COTS interfaces, Subsystem Development, VME/PCI

  • Digital Systems – System Trades, Architecture, Embedded Processing

  • Software Design - Real-time Signal Processing, Beam Steering, Embedded Software

  • Photonics Design – Fiber Optic Communication, Optical Control

Within EDD, the Antenna and Microwave Department has responsibility for the following:

  • Antenna Systems - Antenna System Analysis, Array Analysis, Electromagnetic Analysis, Array Calibration and BITE, Signal Level Analysis, Assembly, Integration and Test

  • Antenna/Microwave Subsystems - Phased Array Subsystems, High Power Subsystems, Antenna Subsystems, Signal Level Analysis, Subsystem Integration and Test
