No matter your politics or what your thoughts on US defense, some great technologies come out of DARPA. This time around we see it impacting com systems that will filter down to troops on the ground.
DARPA may have found the next stage for miniaturizing communications systems in a way that will make even the current slim systems look as bulky and outdated as the giant computers of the 1950's look to us today. DARPA has created a tiny, all silicon radio transmitter chip that, while lighter and and less-expensive, is actually more powerful than the current gallium-arsenide standard.
