In 2024, we spent a lot of time talking about AI, trying to understand its potential, and what pieces were required to make it a reality. In 2025, we are putting those various bits of information into play. Those “bits” start with determining where the AI processing should occur. Then the engineers...

Military battlefields more and more are dominated by the use of uncrewed aerial systems (UASs), uncrewed aerial systems (UASs), uncrewed ground vehicles (UGVs), uncrewed surface vessels (USVs), and uncrewed undersea vehicles (UUVs) to engage with adversarial threats that grow ever more complex. Thes...

To make a custom dev board or production PCB, modern EDA (Electronic Design Automation) tools are essential. In this online training session, presenter Jeremy Cook will discuss the functions of EDA and outline several software options. The session will then niche down to focus on the open-source KiC...

With the current growth of the defense and space systems market accelerating, the high-reliability microelectronics required for these systems are under ever-increasing pressure to consume less size, weight, power, and cost (SWaP-C), as well as to provide increased performance, indefinite product li...

Modern automobiles present several engineering challenges, particularly as the software-defined vehicle (SDV) comes more into focus. These challenges include, but certainly are not limited to, software complexity, electrification, autonomous drive, connectivity, and over-the-air (OTA) updates, to th...

Engineers increasingly face complex simulations, big data analysis, and AI-driven modeling, requiring vast computational power. High-performance computing (HPC) enables faster simulations, optimizations, and real-time processing, crucial in fields like automotive, automation, energy, and biomedical/...

Adopting open standards in avionics systems promises to lower implementation costs, accelerate development, ensure robust architecture and consistently high-quality software implementation, and maximize reuse. The FACE™ standard embraces these ideals by providing a modular reference architecture bas...

Precise time synchronization is a key requirement in Time Sensitive Networking (TSN). TSN provides deterministic, reliable, and low-latency communication by enabling time-aware scheduling over Ethernet networks. All devices on the network that transmit time-sensitive data must be synchronized in tim...

In military applications, the edge most often refers to where one engages the adversary or sensors collect the data, regardless of domain – air, land, sea, space, and spectrum. From the battle commander’s point of view, all deployed platforms and sensors are in fact edge devices. Enabling MOSA [modu...

When you bring video into an AI-based application, you’ve upped the ante in terms of amount of data that’s being collected many times over. Does all the data need to be processed? How do you know what’s good data and what’s not? And do you need to write your own algorithms, or can you depend on the...
