Summary
The evolution and increased density of electronics in Space and Airborne Avionics Systems has transformed the industry, progressing from World War II aircraft to modern avionics with high processing power payloads. This, coupled with a shift away from traditional hydraulics and pneumatics to electric systems has enhanced system efficiency, weight and capabilities, but also introduced new challenges, including:
Short-term reliability and redundancy: Ensuring robust electronics to meet qualifications for continuous and flawless operations
Long-term reliability and environmental performance: Electronics in these systems face significant concerns due to harsh conditions in space and high-altitude airborne environments.
Increasing energy density requirements: Modern systems demand innovative solutions to meet substantial energy density challenges.
Edge processing and high-power digital onboard: Developing sophisticated and efficient electrical power solutions is crucial to meet the demands of new payloads.
Overcoming these challenges is vital for advancing and operating modern manned and autonomous airborne and space systems. In this webinar, Infineon HiRel experts will discuss the pivotal role of electrical power solutions in addressing these challenges and ensuring the reliability, performance, and sustainability of space and airborne systems in the contemporary technological landscape.
