Development status of Sensor Technology in
the World
The sensor is the important technical basis of the new
technology revolution and information society. It is the pioneer of modern
science and technology. The United States has claimed that the world has
entered the sensor age in the early 1980s, and Japan has classified the sensor
technology as the founding of the top ten technology. Japanese business and
business people claim to be "The control of the sensor technology can
dominate the new era.". The developed countries of the world attached
great importance to the development of the sensor technology department. The
United States, Japan, Britain, France, Germany and the Commonwealth of
Independent States have listed sensor technology as one of the key technologies
for national key development. Six of the 22 technologies critical to long-term
security and economic prosperity in the United States are directly related to
the sensor information processing technology. The key technologies for the
protection of the quality advantage of the American weapon system are the passive
sensors. In 2000, that U. S. air force cite 15 key technologies that contribute
to the improvement of the air force in the 21 st century, and the sensor
technology is the second. Japan attaches great importance to the development
and use of sensor technology and is one of the key core technologies of
national key development. The Japan Science and Technology Office has 70 key
projects in the 90s key scientific research projects, including 18 of which are
closely related to the sensor technology. The United States has set up a
National Technology Group (BTG) in the early 1980s to help the government
organize and lead the development of the sensors of major companies and
enterprises and institutions.
The sensor technology is one of the high and new technologies
in the world, and it is also an important symbol of the development of modern
science and technology. It is one of the three main pillars of the information
industry, which is the communication technology and the computer technology. If
the computer is the extension of the human brain, the sensor is the extension
of the human five. When the integrated circuit and the computer technology are
developing rapidly, it is known that the information-taking device _ sensor has
not kept up with the development of the information technology and called the
"The brain is developed, and the five officers are not in the
spirit.". The sensor has begun to receive universal attention and, since
the 1980s, a new "sensor heat" has been set up in the world. The
United States Department of Defense regards the sensor technology as one of the
20 key technologies this year, and Japan attaches sensor technology to
computers, communications, laser semiconductors, superconductors and is listed
as 6-core branches, and the German-based military sensor is a priority
development technology, Britain, The development and investment of the sensors
in countries such as France and other countries have been upgraded year by
year, and the sensor technology is listed in Article 5 of the former Soviet
military space program. It is due to the universal value and input and
development of the world, and the development of the sensor is very rapid, and
the annual growth rate of its output and market demand is over 10% in recent
ten years. At present, the research and production units in the world have
increased to more than 5000 units. In that U. S., Europe and Russia, there are
more than 1,000 sensor research and manufacturers, and there are over 800 in
Japan.
