Scientific paper

Progress in 1978 in aircraft landing systems, space structure research, military optical transmission and detection technology, and military digital communication systems are surveyed. Advantages of the MLS (microwave landing system), which will replace the ILS in the next decade are discussed together with data from Pioneer, Viking and Voyager spacecrafts which have radar-mapped the planets Venus, Mars and Jupiter, respectively. The use of the Space Shuttle to erect space structures, including satellite solar-energy collectors, is analyzed, noting costs and size details. Attention is directed to design and advantages of fiber-optic links and of integrated optical circuits, techniques for developing a video-compression module, structure and advantages of a multifunctional radar (being tested by the Air Force) and of the AN/TTC-39 circuit and message system.
