Amplification and cooling innovation that matters
Everything DSI ships traces to a list of physics wins that changes the game for any system built on top of its foundation. The result is compounding innovation where every system built on DSI out-innovates the competition, outpaces the adversary, advances the science, and always stays ahead of the next unknown challenge across defense, aerospace, space, science, and industry.
Technology that breaks through traditional limits
Breakthrough RF and thermal innovation that changes what is possible. When amplification stops distorting and heat stops dictating size, the constraints that every system has been designed around for forty years stop applying, and the ceiling moves for everything built on top.
Enabling unparalleled downstream innovation
Radar sees farther and resolves finer. Comms reach past line of sight and operate inside the noise. Edge compute runs dense enough to think locally. Capability that used to fill a shelter now rides an aircraft, a vehicle, or an operator, which is what puts it where the mission actually happens.
Outperform. Outlast. Outclass.
Cooler parts last longer, so mean time between failures climbs while the box gets smaller. More power in less rack, higher density per unit, and a field record measured in decades. Competitors make their customers choose between capability and size. Systems built on DSI refuse the trade.
Already ahead of the next unknown challenge
Headroom is the point. Thermal and power margin banked today is capability you spend on the next requirement, so the next generation gets built on the same foundation instead of starting over. Amplification and cooling are the only things DSI builds, so every engineering hour goes into the layer your system sits on.
The foundation the next generation gets built on.
The GhostLink amplification platform and CryoShield cooling do the hard work upstream, and every system built on them inherits the result. More range, finer resolution, higher throughput, and an envelope small enough for platforms that could never carry the capability before.
Amplifier platform
Filterless, distortion-free amplification across five-plus octaves, fielded in more than 200 SKUs from 1 W to 25 kW.

Thermal management
Nanomaterial heat transport past 250 W/cm² in air-cooled builds, applied as paste or immersion additive.
CryoShield →Same 16 kilowatts.
84U down to 13U.
An over-the-horizon radar amplifier originally specified at 84U has been refactored to 13U with no loss of output. The best competing solution needs two 8 kW amplifiers and 42U to reach the same number.
16 kW
Two standard racks at 42U each. This is what the original specification called for at 16 kW.
2 × 8 kW
Two amplifiers, one rack, and the same 16 kW still requires 42U.
16 kW
85% smaller than the original spec, 70% smaller than competitors
Significant, ongoing past performance.
Since 1995 DSI amplifiers have gone out to defense primes, service labs, university groups and Antarctic research stations, and they have stayed out. Raytheon certified supplier. Wind profilers running unattended where no service call is coming, over-the-horizon radar at 16 kW, and NASA and JPL science payloads still on the air.
Profiler and sounder backbones
PEGASUS amplifiers carry wind-profiler and sounder installations on remote, power-constrained sites where no service call is coming. Efficiency and reliability were built for exactly that.
Over-the-horizon at full power
The 16 kW OTHR amplifier above shipped, then came back for a refactor holding the same output in 13U instead of 84U. The best competing approach still needs 42U today.
Air, sea, ground and space
Already flying, floating, submerged and sitting on remote sites, from tactical comms to environmental networks to NASA and JPL science programs. Fielded is the operative word.
A wide range of customers.
One amplification and thermal foundation, running in the air, on the surface, under the sea, across land and in space. Defense programs, national science missions, medical imaging, data center compute and industrial RF all draw on the same physics, and DSI has shipped into every one of them. Tell us what the system has to do and we will tell you how it can be even better with DSI.
Defense & aerospace builders
Primes and integrators bidding programs where the incumbent amplifier chain caps what the system can promise. DSI supplies the amplification and thermal core, and never bids against you.
Government & allied missions
Program offices and service commands writing requirements or keeping fielded fleets current. DSI shows what is achievable now so it can be specified, and supports the integrator delivering it.
Science & research
National labs, agencies and university groups keeping instruments on the air at remote sites. DSI refits existing systems, then installs and services them wherever they sit.
Commercial & industrial innovators
Product teams blocked by a thermal or power ceiling, from data center compute to medical imaging and industrial RF. DSI removes the ceiling and hands back the design margin.
How can we help?
477 active components, three decades of fielded hardware, and amplification and thermal engineering that turns a hard requirement into capability nobody else can field. Bring us the problem the current chain cannot solve. Most of the time the answer is already on the shelf.
