» Partner Spotlight: U.S. Air Force and DARPA
Strategically partnered for over twenty years, STI and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) continue to deliver military grade solutions.  Most recently, STI and DARPA teamed together in a $4.7 million contract to develop Semiconductor-Tuned High Temperature Superconducting Filters for Ultra- Sensitive Radio Frequency Receivers (SURF) for the U.S. Air Force. 

"The SURF program, which builds on an STI proprietary approach to tuning filters, will incorporate semiconductor-tuning of High Temperature Superconducting (HTS) filters to enable microsecond tuning speed, while also reducing size and cost," said Dr. Bob Hammond, STI's senior vice president and CTO. "This unique approach will minimize tuning speeds, a primary limitation of today's tunable HTS filter technologies for most military applications."
