Germany opts for triad approach in new tactical radio system
Article Abstract:
The German Army's tactical communications modernization program is threatened to some extent by budgetary cuts. Compounding the problem is Germany's decision to replace the existing network with three distinctly separate systems. If the funding shortfall affects the deployment even of one of the systems, it could jeopardize the whole system as each of the three systems is dependent on each other. A severely-hampered modernization program could also have implications for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), in which Germany is playing an increasingly important role following the dissolution of the Warsaw Pact.

Firm taps university know-how
Article Abstract:
Kymata Ltd. of the UK has secured exclusive rights to the University of Glasgow's research into silica-on-silicon fabrication in an integral step towards the company's plan of manufacturing integrated circuits for high-bandwidth fiber optic communications. The company is expected to use its access to the know-how, along with other process technologies, to begin manufacturing planar opto-electronic devices by the end of 1998. University of Glasgow is world-renowned for pioneering the commercialization of flame hydrolysis deposition (FHD), which is used for manufacturing planar chips from silica-on-silicon.
