Defense Solutions

Leading-Edge Defense Solutions


Defense applications demand reliability and robustness tailored to each system’s level of criticality. Our scalable portfolio of defense solutions meets a wide range of system requirements, from rapid prototyping and lower risk platforms to mission- and safety-critical applications. This portfolio includes readily available commercial- and automotive-grade products; enhanced-reliability components and fully qualified, high-reliability solutions.

Why Choose Our Products?


Applications

Leverage our diverse portfolio of aerospace and defense solutions and deep technical expertise for your national security applications. Our solutions support mission-critical applications such as:

  • Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C5ISR)
  • Precision strike and missile defense
  • Secure communications
  • Advanced radar systems
  • Autonomous systems
  • Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2)
  • Real-time image processing

Longevity

Component End-of-Life (EOL) can have a huge impact on your business. Marketing and sales teams often delay the introduction of new, innovative products because R&D departments are busy with redesigning existing products. When suppliers discontinue components used in designs, resources are often diverted from new product innovation to redesigning existing products or finding alternative solutions.

Heritage

We are recognized for our 60 years of heritage supporting defense applications. We have decades of experience working with our clients to provide the best possible solutions to their toughest technical challenges.
