Dr. Gladys West was a mathematician who developed precise mathematical models of Earth's shape that became foundational to the Global Positioning System (GPS) we rely on today. Her story is a powerful reminder that the technologies shaping modern life are often built on the quiet, unrecognized contributions of pioneers like West.

Read MoreExplore how All the Light We Cannot See prompted Jim to dive deep into the fascinating relationship between light and radio frequency technology. Learn how the electromagnetic spectrum enables modern communication from radio waves to visible light.
Read MoreDive into the drama of Crimson Tide and explore how reliable communication systems are critical to submarine operations. Discover how RDG’s innovations in RFDU technology could have changed the narrative in this cinematic thriller.
Read MoreObsolescence mitigation is a complex process. Especially when you are mitigating issues found within products of your own design, where just the right components were selected previously, and now, through no fault of yours – you must replace those once ideal components.
Read MoreWhy would anybody keep using a radio that is over 30 years old? As crucial pieces of equipment go beyond the period of support from the original equipment manufacturer (OEM), third-party support can become quite daunting. Read more about how we provide this crucial service to both commercial and defense customers.
Read MoreWhat we do here at RDG is quite specialized. Read about how one client’s desperation took them to page 42 of a Google search to eventually find RDG and our ability to develop a government program that is crucial to today’s military.
Read MoreWe see a lot of films feature radio technology as a silent yet pivotal character, so we thought it might be fun to explore (and explain) what some of these films got right, or maybe not quite right, with the portrayal of tech.
Read MoreOur first venture into the world of military jamming began in 1998 with a phone call from a defense contractor asking if we could have a look at MCREWS (Modular Covert Radio Electronic Warfare Simulator), a jamming simulator program that was floundering.
Read MoreThere are several ways to simulate jamming in communications and GPS systems. Some are more accurate than others, but each has a place in the testing and training environment. It is vital that the details of the application be considered when selecting the best method, or combination of methods.
