SwRI-developed antenna array wins 2023 R&D 100 Award Southwest Research Institute 2023-08-28 | R&D World Magazine has recognized Southwest Research Institute’s Wideband Conformal Continuous-Slot Antenna Array as one of the 100 most significant innovations for 2023. The Wideband Conformal Continuous-Slot Antenna Array technology provides naval ships with high-performance, high-frequency radio frequency direction-finding (DF) and signal acquisition while conforming around shipboard-supporting mast structures. Modern-day DF systems determine the direction of enemy combatants and provide situational awareness and serve to locate emergency transponders for search-and-rescue operations. The Wideband Conformal Continuous-Slot Antenna Array, released as part of SwRI’s AS-750 family of advanced antenna arrays, overcomes the performance issues commonly encountered at higher frequencies. The array was designed using electromagnetic modeling software and takes inspiration from an unorthodox concept for a wideband antenna array originally conceived by electronics engineer Harold Wheeler in 1948, which until now was largely theoretical.For more information, visit swri.org/industries/signals-intelligence-solutions.SUBSCRIBE HERE ►► youtube.com/c/southwestresearchinstitute SwRI Technology Today Podcast ► swri.org/newsroom/technology-today-podcastSwRI Technology Today Magazine ► technologytoday.swri.org SwRI Website ► swri.org SwRI LinkedIn ► linkedin.com/company/9047SwRI Facebook ► facebook.com/southwestresearch SwRI Twitter ► twitter.com/swri SwRI Instagram ► instagram.com/southwestresearchinstitute(rev 8/2023)

Episode 52: Forming the Building Blocks of Life Southwest Research Institute 2023-02-20 | Scientists study meteorites, fragments of asteroids or comets that fall to Earth. Inside the space rocks, they have found amino acids, the building blocks of life. Amino acids combine to form proteins, which power life on our planet. How did these seeds of life end up in meteorites? Our guest today believes they formed under intense space conditions, particularly in the interstellar cloud. She is part of a team of scientists that re-created the conditions in a chamber using ice, low temperatures and high radiation. Their experiment yielded significant results, a residue containing the same ingredients for life found in meteorites.Listen now as SwRI Astrochemist Dr. Danna Qasim explains how the building blocks of life may have formed in space, the role of the interstellar cloud and what the process tells us about life on Earth and the possibility of life elsewhere.swri.org/podcast/ep52?utm_source=YouTube&utm_medium=SM&utm_campaign=Podcast-52SUBSCRIBE HERE ►► youtube.com/user/SwRItvSwRI Technology Today Podcast ► swri.org/newsroom/technology-today-podcastSwRI Technology Today Magazine ► technologytoday.swri.orgSwRI Website ► swri.orgSwRI LinkedIn ► linkedin.com/company/9047SwRI Facebook ► facebook.com/southwestresearchSwRI Twitter ► twitter.com/swriSwRI Instagram ► instagram.com/SouthwestResearchInstitute(rev 02/2023)

Autonomous Vehicle Simulation for Off-Road Environments Southwest Research Institute 2022-11-22 | Autonomous vehicles (AVs) are deployed in many different environments. When operating offroad, AVs must adapt to variations in terrain, foliage, and other challenging conditions. It is critical for AVs to rehearse exploration in these environments, but it isn’t practical or cost-effective to assess vehicle performance in every real-world situation. Southwest Research Institute’s Simulation Scene Adjustment Tools allow the user to create a variety of autonomous vehicle simulation scenes based on real world locations. These new, virtual environments share characteristics with the original but are different enough to exercise the autonomous system in new ways. Check out our video to learn how Southwest Research Institute’s autonomous vehicle simulation tools are advancing AV performance.For more information, visit https://automateddriving.swri.org.(rev 11/22/2022)SUBSCRIBE HERE ►► youtube.com/c/southwestresearchinstitute SwRI Technology Today Podcast ► swri.org/newsroom/technology-today-podcastSwRI Technology Today Magazine ► technologytoday.swri.org SwRI Website ► swri.org SwRI LinkedIn ► linkedin.com/company/9047SwRI Facebook ► facebook.com/southwestresearch SwRI Twitter ► twitter.com/swri SwRI Instagram ► instagram.com/southwestresearchinstitute
