Gallium-Nitride Radar Tech Could Be Key to Improving Compact Active Denial Systems
The Raytheon company has spent 17 years researching gallium-nitride for Patriot missile radar, but the technology”s potential stretches much further than that. At the recent Association of the U.S. Army Expo in Hunstville, AL, the company showed off a new radar for the Patriot missile system that uses gallium-nitride (GaN) to generate the radar waves.
