RTX, DARPA Partner to Produce Gallium Nitride Transistors for Radio Frequency Sensors
Raytheon, an RTX business, will produce high-power-density gallium nitride transistors to enhance the electronic capability of radio frequency sensors under a four-year, $15 million contract from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. RTX said Thursday it will integrate military-grade GaN transistors into radar systems to increase range and radar resource management capabilities as part of DARPA's Technologies for Heat Removal in Electronics at the Device Scale program.
