Camgian Microsystems Awarded DARPA SBIR

STARKVILLE, M.S. - March 5th, 2009 - Camgian Microsystems Corporation today announced it has been awarded a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase 1 project by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA).

This SBIR project will push the limits of state-of-the-art technology, seeking to demonstrate the ability to provide revolutionary integration levels, combining high performance RF circuits with large quantities of complex digital logic, all on a low-cost, small geometry silicon CMOS process.

"Today's warfighter is becoming reliant upon more and more technological support to achieve strategic and tactical superiority over their enemies," said Ryan Jorgenson, Camgian's Vice President of Advanced Systems. "Technological advantages include such items as night-vision equipment, unattended ground sensors (UGS), unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), target tracking beacons. All of these systems need to be as small, lightweight and low power as possible. This leads to the drive for the integration of disparate technologies, such as high performance RF circuitry and large scale digital signal processing, into more and more dense circuits to achieve the maximum Size, Weight and Power (SWaP) reductions possible."
