What you don’t know about the THAAD system is more harmful than a chip!

Preface: The THAAD system has changed the sunny skies of East Asia; South Korea is in a dilemma, Lotte Group is an accomplice, the United States is controlling the situation, and the Chinese people are united. We will review the internal organs of the THAAD system again, and after collecting opinions from the public and professionals, we will see what mysterious components are hidden inside! THAAD system The THAAD system is an important part of the new missile defense plan of the United States. It is mainly used to intercept high-altitude missiles and adopts a comprehensive early warning method of satellite, infrared and radar. The system consists of interceptor missiles, vehicle-mounted launchers, ground radars, and combat management and command, control, communication and intelligence systems. The THAAD system has two core components. One is the interceptor missile, commonly known as KKV, which consists of a booster, a kinetic interceptor and a fairing. It is said that it can intercept Chinese ballistic missiles. The second is the AN/TPY-2 active phased array radar, which is said to be able to monitor half of China and part of the Far East. Therefore, the strong backlash from China and Russia is also reasonable. The THAAD defense system consists of a launcher carrying eight interceptors, the AN/TPY-2 X-band radar, a fire control and communication system (TFCC) and a combat management system. Lockheed Martin Space Defense, Caterpillar Defense and Aerospace are the main contractors for the launcher and interceptors, Raytheon is the main contractor for the AN/TPY-2 radar, and Boeing, Honeywell and Rocketdyne are the contractors for the management and command system. Device supplier CPU Freescale's PXXX series chips and Intel's Xeon D processor have made a leap forward in high-performance embedded computing for the military and aerospace (radar processing, intelligence communications and electronic warfare) of the THAAD system. Intel's Xeon D, the world's smallest server, can be placed on a 3U embedded computing board or even a COM fast mezzanine card. EMCCD imaging device UK e2v has more than 30 years of experience in designing, developing and manufacturing high-performance imaging solutions. It has the expertise to provide image capture solutions for space projects and fast-turnaround custom charge-coupled devices (CCDs), which are designed with reference to existing large functional unit libraries. Electron multiplying charge-coupled devices (EMCCDs), E2V has obvious advantages in noise control technology, and it is understood that TI is better in processing speed. Power System Vicor Corporation of the United States is currently the world's largest manufacturer of high-density power modules, and is also the only manufacturer in the world that can mass-produce power modules with zero voltage and zero current technology. The main products are AC-DC and DC-DC power modules, configured power supplies (integrated power supplies) and customized power supplies, all of which are produced in Andover, located in the eastern United States. All Vicor products have passed international safety certification such as CE, CTÜVus, CULus, CB, UL, TÜV, etc. DSP Some processors from Freescale, ADI, and TI (including single-core and multi-core ARM, DSP, and ARM+DSP) are very suitable for defense and avionics applications, including radar, electronic warfare, avionics equipment, and software-defined radio (SDR). DSP processors support industrial temperature ranges, ECC on on-chip memory, secure boot, and security features. Software support includes mainline Linux, TI RTOS, and most commercial RTOS. Microwave devices Cree of the United States provides gallium nitride on silicon carbide (GaN-on-SiC) high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) and monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMICs). Its gallium nitride RF devices are used in L, S, C, and X-band radars. Phased Array Radar Element Chipset The high-performance X-band phased array radar element chip set produced by Mimix Broadband includes driver and power amplifier devices at the transmitting end, low noise amplifier/limiter at the receiving end, and attenuator and phase shifter at the control end. Its chipset is produced using 6-inch 0.5mm gallium arsenide (GaAs) PHEMT device model technology and adopts a light gate printing process. Storage chip Microsemi Defense Microelectronics, headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, USA; mainly designs and produces high-performance and high-density memory. Its WEDC products are widely used in aviation, aerospace, shipbuilding, oil exploration, embedded systems, communications and navigation, radar, instruments and equipment, etc. It has MIL-PRF-38534/38535 certification. Products include various levels of memory SRAM, FLASH, SDRAM, EEPROM, hybrid modules, PCMCIA CARD, single-chip microcomputers and high-brightness display modules (AMLCD), etc. Gyroscopes ADI's MEMS gyroscopes and iSensor® MEMS gyroscope subsystems can reliably detect and measure the angular rate of objects under complex and harsh working conditions. ADI's MEMS gyroscope product line includes analog and digital outputs, ultra-high shock and vibration resistance, and temperature sensitivity control capability of 25 ppm/°C. Acceleration Sensors ENDEVCO Corporation was founded in 1947. It has a 60-year history of R&D and production of high-end sensors and various electronic instruments. It is a veteran American military enterprise. For many years, it has been leading the technological development in this field around the world and represents the highest level of sensor/instrument technology in the world. Infrared Detectors France ULIS infrared detectors are mainly used in thermal imaging, military, surveillance and security fields. ULIS Infrared Detector Company was founded in 2002. ULIS produces large quantities of infrared detectors with light weight, low power consumption and cost-effective infrared cameras. ULIS's small and large-form-factor infrared products are designed for industrial, professional, military and security applications. MLCC AVX's aerospace-grade "base metal" electrodes (BME) and X7R dielectric multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCC) are suitable for manned and unmanned aircraft and orbital satellites, as well as high-performance aviation and military applications. AVX's aerospace-grade BME MLCCs have operating voltages from 16 to 100 volts, capacitances from 2.2 to 8.2 nanofarads, and are available in a variety of sizes from 0603 to 1812. Crystal oscillators Vectron is the world's leading crystal oscillator manufacturer, with products including high-reliability crystals and crystal oscillators. Products are used in communications, industry, and the military/aerospace markets to bring innovative timing devices. Vectron has in-depth cooperation with Knowles Electronics and SiTime. Optocouplers AVAGO is the world's best supplier of military and aerospace-grade HCPL, HSSR, and 6N series military and aerospace-grade ceramic packaged high-speed optical couplers. FPGA Xilinx is the world's leading supplier of complete programmable logic solutions. Whether it is infrared CCD or aerospace-grade complex computing and communication systems, they are inseparable from Xilinx's FPGA, especially Vertex7 and above chips, which are the national pain of various countries. ADC/DAC ADI and E2V are the main suppliers of analog/digital converters. ADI's high-speed (≥30MSPS) DACs include broadband RF, intermediate frequency signal processing, and general baseband categories. These products are widely used in wired and wireless communications, instrumentation, radar, electronic warfare, and other applications. Our high-speed DAC product line provides 8 to 16-bit resolution in the speed range of 30 MSPS to several GSPS. RF Devices Qorvo's wide range of radar solutions, including land, sea, and air radar platforms such as F-15, F-22 and F-35, all use proven and highly reliable Qorvo technology. Qorvo is a merger of RFMD and TriQuint. The scale and business model of both parties can establish a stronger RF chip product line. In addition, through its advanced gallium nitride (GaN) and optical product portfolio, it will also benefit the long-term growth of the higher-profit defense and aviation and network infrastructure equipment businesses. Countless facts have proved that no matter how angry we are, we dare not boycott the US high-tech industry because we do not have such core technology. On the contrary, the Americans can always take up the stick of sanctions, either ZTE or other Chinese military enterprises. I am speechless. It is better to work hard on a chip than to spit on it!
