Over the last decade there have emerged many electronic applications o
f HTS technology which have important military as well as commercial i
mplications. Examples of these include space communications, terrestri
al wireless communications, radar, surveillance, countermeasures, medi
cal applications and cryo-electronics. I will review many of the effor
ts in in this area that have been supported by the DoD which has inves
ted over $350M on this technology. In addition I will discuss the effo
rts to develop cryocoolers to support the HTS technology.
