Harpy drones used by Indian military to target enemy air defence systems
New Delhi [India], May 8 (ANI): The Harpy drones designed to attack radar systems were used by the Indian armed forces to target enemy air defence systems in Pakistan. Meanwhile, the Air Defence system at Lahore has been neutralised by Indian military drone action. The Harpy is designed to attack radar systems and is optimised for the suppression of enemy air defences (SEAD) role. It carries a high-explosive warhead. Equipped with an Anti-Radiation (AR) seeker, HARPY can autonomously seek and strike emitting, high-value targets. The HARPY operates in deep strike missions lasting up to 9 hours, day and night, in all weather conditions, and in Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS)-denied or contested battlefields. HARPY is equipped to hunt--seek targets in a designated area, locate and identify their frequency, and autonomously pursue a strike from any direction, at shallow or steep dive profiles. After India executed Operation Sindoor, in which nine terror sites deep inside Pakistan were destroyed, Pakistan attempted to engage a number of military targets on the night of May 7. The military targets were engaged in Northern and Western India, including Awantipura, Srinagar, Jammu, Pathankot, Amritsar, Kapurthala, Jalandhar, Ludhiana, Adampur, Bhatinda, Chandigarh, Nal, Phalodi, Uttarlai, and Bhuj, using drones and missiles. These were neutralised by the Integrated Counter UAS Grid and Air Defence systems. The debris of these attacks is now being recovered from a number of locations that prove the Pakistani attacks. Indian Air Force S-400 Sudarshan Chakra air defence missile systems were fired last night against targets moving towards India. The targets were successfully neutralised in the operation, multiple domain experts told ANI. An official Government confirmation is awaited. This morning, the Indian Armed Forces targeted Air Defence Radars and systems at a number of locations in Pakistan. Indian response has been in the same domain with same intensity as Pakistan. It has been reliably learnt that an Air Defence system at Lahore has been neutralised. Earlier, sources said that over 100 terrorists were eliminated with a series of precision strikes launched in the early hours of Wednesday. The operation, aimed at avenging the Pahalgam terror attack, remains underway, making it challenging to provide an exact casualty count of the terrorists at this stage, sources further stated. The strikes, executed by the Indian Armed Forces, targeted nine key terror camps in Pakistan linked to Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), and Hizbul Mujahideen. Four of the targets were located inside Pakistan and the remaining five were situated in Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK). The security forces targeted four terrorist camps in Bahawalpur, Muridke, Sarjal, and Mehmoona Joya. The five other locations in PoJK on India's target were Markaz Ahle Hadith Barnala in Bhimber, Markaz Abbas and Maskar Raheel Shahid in Kotli, Shawai Nallah Camp, and Markaz Syedna Bilal, in Muzaffarabad. Meanwhile, Pakistan has increased the intensity of its unprovoked firing across the Line of Control using mortars and heavy calibre artillery in areas in Kupwara, Baramulla, Uri, Poonch, Mendhar and Rajouri sectors in Jammu and Kashmir. Sixteen innocent lives have been lost, including three women and five children, due to Pakistani firing. India was compelled to respond to bring Mortar and Artillery fire from Pakistan to a halt. Indian Armed Forces reiterate their commitment to non-escalation, provided it is respected by the Pakistani military. (ANI)

SiTime MEMS Clock Chip Enables Precision Timing In The AI-Fueled Mobile Era
SiT30100 Mobile Clock Generator SiTime As mobile devices continue to take on more complex tasks—from real-time navigation to AI-assisted imaging—precision system timing has become an increasingly critical element of overall performance. For years, timing in smartphones and IoT devices of all sorts has been handled by traditional quartz-based components. As I've covered previously, it's been like this for many decades. However, as devices shrink and workloads intensify, legacy solutions are starting to show their limitations. SiTime, a Silicon Valley company specializing in MEMS-based timing solutions — tiny mechanical structures built on silicon that deliver precise system clock timing with superior resilience to shock, vibration, and temperature fluctuations — is expanding its footprint to the mobile market with the introduction of its SiT30100 Symphonic clock generator. The SiT30100 is a compact, integrated timing device designed to support the growing demands of 5G connectivity, Global Navigation Satellite Systems, and intelligent edge processing. More importantly, it represents SiTime's latest move to bring MEMS technology to the center of mobile system design, representing a considerable opportunity in the market, from smartphones to the IoT, physical AI applications like robotics, and more. At just 2.22 mm², Symphonic is a highly integrated component that replaces multiple discrete timing devices with a single, configurable solution. It includes a built-in MEMS resonator and temperature-sensing circuitry, allowing for precise frequency control even under the wide thermal swings mobile devices, like smartphones on a summer beachfront, are exposed to, or mechanical stress. This kind of stability matters in mobile environments, where compact enclosures, heat buildup, and power-saving features all place unique demands on system clock timing solutions. MEMS timing components have been gaining traction in recent years, largely because they offer a combination of durability, programmability, and miniaturization that traditional quartz components can't match. SiTime has been one of the primary drivers of that transition, and Symphonic continues that trend by targeting a critical gap in the mobile and IoT design landscape—ultra-reliable, low-power timing in space-constrained environments. Rajesh Vashist, CEO And Chairman Of SiTime SiTime For mobile OEMs, the benefits go beyond footprint reduction. The SiT30100 supports up to four programmable outputs—frequencies like 76.8, 38.4, and 19.2 MHz—for use in 5G baseband, RF, and GNSS subsystems. It also includes system-level temperature compensation capabilities that allow for frequency stability down to ±0.5 parts per million, which can translate to faster GPS lock times, when you're trying to sync-up with that Uber ride, and better overall signal integrity for cellular communications. You can think of these types of timing solutions as the heartbeat of a mobile device or IoT platforms, keeping its various subsystems in sync and operating at top performance. 'Every generation of mobile devices becomes smarter, delivering greater functionality, personalization and automation,' said Rajesh Vashist, CEO and chairman of SiTime. 'Timing devices must withstand thermal and mechanical stressors as processing and connectivity speeds increase. Our newest mobile clock generator delivers the precision timing required for advanced connectivity of next-generation mobile devices.' While the SiTime's Symphonic series of clocks generators won't be a consumer-facing feature, it reflects a broader evolution in component selection priorities for system designers. As mobile platforms increasingly integrate AI capabilities, dense wireless protocols, and real-time environmental awareness, adaptable, precise and reliable clock and communications timing is becoming essential to delivering consistent performance and device responsiveness. SiTime's broader strategy aligns well with these market needs. The company is heavily invested in silicon MEMS timing as a replacement for legacy quartz solutions across a wide range of performance-sensitive systems, applications and use cases, and not just in smartphones. The SiT30100 is sampling now for customer design applications.

UN decries hike in satellite navigation system interference
GENEVA: The United Nations on Tuesday urged countries to boost protections amid a marked increase in efforts to interfere with satellite navigation systems like GPS that are critical for aviation and maritime safety. The UN's International Telecommunication Union, its International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and the International Maritime Organization jointly voiced 'grave concern' at growing disruptions of so-called Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS). Amid growing geopolitical tensions, GPS and other such systems, which are used for weapons systems but also for a vast array of vital civilian applications, have increasingly been targeted. There have been warnings of increased GNSS signal disruptions since the start of Russia's war in Ukraine, as well as amid the Middle East conflict. The UN agencies voiced alarm at the impact of disruptions to such systems, which they pointed out are used for everything from the navigation of civil aircraft, maritime vessels and humanitarian assistance vehicles to synchronizing telecommunications networks. They demanded countries do more to protect the systems against so-called jamming attacks, which prevent access to satellite signals, as well as spoofing, through the broadcasting of false signals that can cause GNSS receivers in vessels or aircraft to calculate erroneous positions. 'Global Navigation Satellite Systems are critical to our safety on land, at sea and in the air,' said ITU chief Doreen Bogdan-Martin. 'Member States should ensure the uninterrupted operation of these systems for everyone's safety and the resilience of essential services that our lives depend on.' The joint statement called on countries to enhance the protection of the critical RNSS radio-frequency band, where GNSS systems operate. The band should be protected against 'transmissions that can adversely cause harmful interference degrading, interrupting or misleading signals used for civilian and humanitarian purposes,' the statement added. It also urged states to 'reinforce resilience of the systems that rely on RNSS for navigation, positioning and timing' and to report all cases of 'harmful interference.' And it demanded they 'retain sufficient conventional navigation infrastructure for contingency support in case of RNSS outages and misleading signals,' as well as to 'develop mitigation techniques for loss of services.'
