More years ago than I care to count, I was a computer geek sailor for the US Navy, and as part of my duties worked on a test installation for what became the Aegis system. The Aegis system was, and is, an advanced radar and missile system that protected ships from incoming missiles. At that time it was a huge thing, a couple of stories of microwave ducting going to an octagonal metal plate 10 feet across. However, because of the digital control of the phased array antenna, there were so many amazing things the system could do as compared to conventional radar. I am glad to see that the technology has found other applications and expect it may revolutionize all antennas going forward. Interesting to have been at the start of something that may become a part of the future.
