BAE Systems has completed a Typhoon firing trial with the APKWS laser-guidance kit in the UK, opening a lower-cost path for counter-UAS integration while adding another weapons-upgrade thread to the fighter’s development roadmap.
NXP has launched an omlox starter kit for RTLS deployments. The platform combines UWB hardware, tags, anchors, middleware, and analytics for industrial positioning systems.
Reliable Robotics has completed FAA detect-and-avoid data collection flights programme. The campaign generated validation data around airport operations and fed the next round of standards work for uncrewed aircraft integration.
Renesas rad-hard ICs are flying on NASA’s Artemis II mission. The devices are being used across Orion and the Space Launch System in avionics, launch safety, power distribution, signal integrity, and onboard computing.
ByteSnap’s new guide tracks how PCB priorities change by sector. The report moves from cost-led consumer layouts to industrial and aerospace boards shaped by harsher environments, tighter compliance, and longer validation cycles.
March exposed where power in electronics now truly sits globally. Silicon still set the pace, but memory, power, optics, packaging, and design infrastructure increasingly shaped who could build, ship, and scale.
Alexander Battery is expanding engineering around testing, design, and AI. The appointments deepen testing, mechanical design, and programme capacity as the UK manufacturer pushes more custom battery systems from development into production for OEMs.
CEA and PSMC are combining photonics, RISC-V, and 3D packaging. The tie-up brings silicon photonics, microLED links, and open compute IP into interposer-based AI architectures aimed at easing bandwidth and power constraints.
Flex has agreed to acquire Electrical Power Products for cash. The deal expands its critical power portfolio across utility, generation, industrial, and modular control-building applications.
Vishay has introduced a compact linear Hall-effect position sensor module. The 40 LHE extends electrical stroke to 40 mm and targets accurate displacement measurement in harsh environments.
